foveate

Ads where you can't close your eyes or foveate away... wonderful.

There's a ton of work that has gone into the foveated rendering you will see on quest.

That's the size that is relevant to foveated rendering.

I hadn't really considered foveated rendering on mobile, but that's a very interesting idea.

Yeah, fixed foveated rendering is a quick and dirty hack, and only really useful on cheap headsets with terrible optics which waste a lot of pixels due to distortion.

> I suspect this would look highly unnatural in practiceIn pair tests test subjects were unable to see a difference between the foveated image and the normally rendered one.

The whole human process of seeing is very different from the way, say, a NN is trained on an image: the whole thing isn't gulped in at once, but we foveate on various parts of the image and assemble / confabulate a whole.

Maybe one day, videos will get a same trend and people want lossless videos, in full 360 degree VR, intensity resolution beyond perceptual limits and constantly high enough angular resolution for your eyes to foveate any area of the screen and see no pixels.
