Abstract

Untethered VR/AR HMDs can only last 2-3 hours on a single charge.
Toward resolving this issue, we develop a real-time gaze-contingent power saving filter which modulates peripheral pixel color while preserving visual fidelity.
At SIGGRAPH 2023, participants will be able to view a short panoramic video within a VR HMD with our perceptually-aware power saving filter turned on.
Participants will also have the opportunity to view the power output of scenes through our power measurement setup.
