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.

Luminance-contrast-aware foveated rendering
Current rendering techniques struggle to fulfill quality and power efficiency requirements imposed by new display devices such as virtual reality headsets. A promising solution to overcome these problems is foveated rendering, which exploits gaze ...
Kernel Foveated Rendering
Foveated rendering coupled with eye-tracking has the potential to dramatically accelerate interactive 3D graphics with minimal loss of perceptual detail. In this paper, we parameterize foveated rendering by embedding polynomial kernel functions in the ...
Unreal Engine 4 Elemental
SIGGRAPH '12: ACM SIGGRAPH 2012 Computer Animation FestivalDeveloped by Epic Games, Elemental is the first real-time demonstration showcasing its next-generation Unreal Engine 4 technology. The demo presents rendering features utilizing DirectX 11 hardware. It takes per-pixel deferred shading to the next level: ...
