Here's their description. This session will describe a new technique that interpolates between geometrically correct hard shadows and percentage closer soft shadows. Find out how the most common problems of aliasing, peter-panning, acne, and overlapping blockers are solved with this new approach. Plus, we’ll cover the practical implications of how this fits into modern game engines. Their VR should Rendering Faster and Better With NVIDIA GameWorks™ VR in UE4 This talk will introduce developers to NVIDIA GameWorks VR SLI, multi-resolution shading, context priorities, and direct mode. We’ll discuss the motivation for these features, how they work, and how developers can use GameWorks VR in their renderers to improve the experience on Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and other VR headsets. As a case study, we’ll show how we integrated GameWorks VR features into Unreal Engine 4.

On this note, I'll pre-order Hitman so I can check out the beta and report on how broken the 3D is. I'll almost certainly refund it either way though.

Just a reminder GDC 2016 begins today for anyone that is interested in catching some of the live streams or that want to watch for breaking news. (at least I think they'll have a Live Stream) full schedule http://schedule.gdconf.com/list Kind of odd that Ubisoft has a lounge, since they do not license their Engines, must be recruiting. http://www.gdconf.com/events/partiesnetworking.html

A lot of that stuff gets put in the GDC Vault. Other stuff is selectively released at various times. I'm not sure how much is really live streamed. But there still should be a ton of exciting news coming out of it. For my money, I find GDC much more exciting than E3 of late.

[quote="D-Man11"] inch OLED display with 1920 x 1080 resolution split across both eyes[/quote] So that is 960x1080 per eye. What is the actual resolution per eye for the Oculus and Rift exactly? Still the price looks reasonable. Guess nothing new about Pascal.. Well, I think is time I put the plug on a couple of 980Ti and change my trusty 2x780Tis...3D Surround getting more and more "expensive" to use ^_^ Off-topic: I just LOVE (not) how the 399 USD == 399 EURO...I wonder if this will ever change... (the parity for Euro/Dollar is currently at 1.11. Not big but still....)

1200 X 1080. It's about as good as was to be expected on the pricing. Although it's a little misleading. It doesn't include the camera, which the PSVR is useless without. So it's a little slight of hand on that score. http://techreport.com/news/29859/unity-engine-adds-support-for-nvidia-vrworks-sdk Unity joins Unreal in announcing Nvidia VR SDK support in the engine (VR SLI, multi-shading, etc).

[quote="helifax"] Guess nothing new about Pascal.. Well, I think is time I put the plug on a couple of 980Ti and change my trusty 2x780Tis[/quote] I would wait for Pascal to see what it brings, the die shrink alone should bring better performance and stability. Plus all that added memory will be great for all those extra pixels you're pushing in surround.

PSVR is kind of shitty priced for what it is tbh. $400 and it REQUIRES the camera which is $50.00. I kind of see it as $450 vs oculus rift $550[cause of bundled stuff] It would be real interesting if they started adding 3D support back into its owned IPs like they used to since display supports Cinematic mode. Till then its not worth it unless its planning on getting a lot of exclusives. The GREATEST disadvantage of PSVR is there is no FREE market. Tons of people will make demos, hacked in support, videos, etc. Thats not going to happen.

It's the only solution that gives a total VR experience.
