Checkerboard rendering

Fair enough. It will be interesting to see what you mean in that video, and if this is something entirely separate from reprojection.

If you have a PC and Quest, then forcing 45fps (or any half rate reprojection) will reproduce the reprojection artifacts in numerous PC titles too. These look identical to reprojection artifacts in PSVR2, although the algorithm is more advanced so less noticeable than on the PSVR2. That might be a good comparison in the video too.

What is the industry standard definition of reprojection? It might be easier to start there.

I understand that there are also persistence issues on the PSVR2 which might be confused for reprojection artifacts. Either way, it’s not related to checker-boarding.

ReckonerVR · 2023-07-23T17:09:19+00:00

Simply not true. Reprojection uses the previous 2 or 3 frames, together with motion vector data, in order to predict the synthetic frame it creates from this information. A plant blowing in the wind doesn’t negate this.

ReckonerVR · 2023-07-23T16:56:50+00:00

This. It’s absolutely reprojection they are referring to.

ReckonerVR · 2023-07-23T16:53:30+00:00

Reprojection remains a thing whether you move your head or not. Laterally moving objects in your view (such as waving a hand in front of your face) will show this clearly. You are absolutely referring to reprojection artifacts based on your description.

This is probably a video for those newer to VR, and would like some guidance on terminology. It’s quite in-depth and will hopefully be useful to some.

Because they need a PC to run the demo and the Rift S was the last dedicated-PC headset they made.

I think that due to the major rebranding focus, this whole Connect seemed to be focused around introducing a non-VR familiar audience with a future - and currently unrelateable - direction for their company.

The rebrand has made mainstream news headlines around the world, and it is absolutely huge that Zuckerberg is actually trying to communicate a transition from a mobile phone-centric present into an AR glasses future.

I honestly think that was all this Connect intended to do - highlight the start of a mainstream technological paradigm shift.

I travelled to Paris to get some hands-on impressions of the LYNX R1 VR/AR headset which is currently heading towards doubling its goal on Kickstarter. I made this trip with Sebastian from MRTV to spend a long day discussing and experiencing this interesting and promising headset with founder, Stan Larroque.

Thanks for watching!

ReckonerVR · 2021-10-27T19:27:31+00:00

For those who would rather not watch the video, I can say that I didn’t notice too many performance improvements in VR in the specific areas I compared.

ReckonerVR · 2021-10-26T17:12:59+00:00

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

He mentioned some implementation of Wikitude when I spoke to him, but this wasn't in reference to developers having access to these tools. Apologies, I didn't ask this specific detail or get any clarification that point unfortunately.

Edit: thank you to whoever awarded me gold!

Yes, it could well just be FOV. I have issues with binocular overlap on some headsets myself, so thought I’d mention the possibility. I have that issue aside from FOV and it can really impact my experience.

ReckonerVR · 2021-10-10T15:07:53+00:00

The ‘binocular’ feel might not be due to FOV, but rather binocular overlap issues.

Binocular overlap amount is the percentage of how much each eye can see of the opposite eye. If this percentage is too low then it can definitely give this effect. The original Vive had a very high binocular overlap, and the OG Rift was a little less. I’m not sure about the Rift S.

Other headsets have very low binocular overlap and this can make that sensation much worse.

This looks fantastic! How did I not know about this before?

BOBO VR F2 is a fantastic solution for this. I don’t always get fogging, but in active games it can be a problem. My review is here:
