Latency aware foveated rendering in unreal engine 4

Swafford, Nicholas T.; Cosker, Darren; Mitchell, Kenny

Abstract

We contribute a foveated rendering implementation in Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) and a straight-forward metric to allow calculation of rendered foveal region sizes to compensate for overall system latency and maintain perceptual losslessness. Our system demonstrates appreciable computational gains in large resolution real-time rendering scenarios.
