360-Degree Video Rendering

Using Arm Technology to Implement 360-Degree Video Efficiently

The introduction of virtual reality has brought new applications to the surface as well as derivatives of existing technologies. One improvement over existing technologies can be seen in the case of 360-degree video. The increased immersion of virtual reality can easily be applied to video - providing superior user experience over the traditional video that is projected into flat surfaces.

This white paper describes how existing Arm technology can be used to implement 360-degree video efficiently, and how the different hardware and software components interact with each other in order to produce high quality final results.

Foveated Rendering Techniques

This white paper describes foveated rendering on Arm devices, it explains and discusses points such as:

• What foveated rendering is, and what are it's use cases.
• Optimizing VR applications for foveated rendering, saving on fragment shading loading on GPU compared to variable-resolution shading.
• The potential problems and overall benefits such as performance improvements and extended battery life of devices. 

This white paper shows what is achievable on current devices using the Multiview extensions to create a variable-resolution shading algorithm and then further improve it with eye tracking to develop a fully functioning foveated rendering algorithm.
