Towards foveated rendering for gaze-tracked virtual reality

A Patney, M Salvi, J Kim, A Kaplanyan… - ACM Transactions on …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
Foveated rendering synthesizes images with progressively less detail outside the eye
fixation region, potentially unlocking significant speedups for wide field-of-view displays …

Interactive reconstruction of Monte Carlo image sequences using a recurrent denoising autoencoder

CRA Chaitanya, AS Kaplanyan, C Schied… - ACM Transactions on …, 2017 - dl.acm.org

Real-time polygonal-light shading with linearly transformed cosines

E Heitz, J Dupuy, S Hill, D Neubelt - ACM Transactions on Graphics …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
In this paper, we show that applying a linear transformation---represented by a 3 x 3 matrix---
to the direction vectors of a spherical distribution yields another spherical distribution, for …
