Overcome the VR performance challenges with Khronos APIs
VR is the most demanding graphics rendering application for GPUs and CPUs. At the same time, VR is becoming the next “big thing”, so the Khronos standards have worked hard to help VR becoming mainstream in any computational platform: from mobile, to console and to desktop environments.
The event is focused on the graphics rendering aspects of VR, and is intended to be of interest to both those using APIs like OpenGL ES, Vulkan and WebGL directly, as well as developers that use game engines to produce VR content that want to gain a better understanding of how this is achieved.
