Description
Eye-tracked foveated rendering is a technique for accelerating rendering of virtual reality content by tracking where the user's eyes are looking and rendering the parts of the screen near the user's gaze at a higher resolution than everything else. As part of efforts for the Steam Frame, we reimplemented existing techniques for foveated rendering on Qualcomm Adreno GPUs in the Turnip open-source Vulkan driver and further pushed the envelope by designing and implementing new Vulkan extensions to bring foveated rendering to more content. This talk will go over how foveated rendering works in Turnip through VK_EXT_fragment_density_map and related extensions, various extensions and driver optimizations to further improve performance and visual quality, and future directions for improvement.
