Region warping in a virtual reality system with priority rendering

چکیده
The ultimate aim of virtual reality is to present the user with an illusion of reality within a virtual environment. Visual artefacts that appear in a virtual reality system’s computer generated graphics can easily destroy this artificial sense of reality. Therefore in order to maintain an illusion of reality, it is essential to eliminate or hide such visual artefacts from the user. This paper investigates the implementation of region warping, a methodology devised for the purpose of masking scene tearing artefacts. These scene tearing artefacts are a side effect from implementing large object segmentation together with a prioritized rendering technique, which was developed for use in conjunction with a specialized virtual reality graphics display controller, known as the Address Recalculation Pipeline. Region warping introduces slight distortions in a scene as a result of compensating for such tearing artefacts. This paper describes the basis for region warping and discusses the results of experiments that were conducted using this warping technique.

متن کاملDesign issues in human visual perception experiments on region warping
Virtual reality systems are primarily concerned with the presentation of realistic 3D graphics to the user. In light of the fact that the human visual system can only perceive a finite amount of detail, it is therefore possible to reach a balance in the tradeoff between human perception of detail and computational load required for rendering. Priority rendering is a technique designed to reduce...

This paper presents human visual perception experiment results for a computer graphics rendering technique introduced in ACSC’05. In order to achieve a good immersive virtual reality experience, it is necessary to have at least 60 frames per second to ensure smooth motion. It is also necessary to have low end-to-end latency so that user interaction does not suffer from perceptible delays in ima...

Designing low end-to-end latency system architectures for virtual reality is still an open and challenging problem. We describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a client–server depthimage warping architecture that updates and displays the scene graph at the refresh rate of the display. Our approach works for scenes consisting of dynamic and interactive objects. The end-to-end latenc...
