More Information
Summary:An example system includes a first computing device comprising a first graphics processing unit (GPU) implemented in circuitry, and a second computing device comprising a second GPU implemented in circuitry. The first GPU is configured to perform a first portion of an image rendering process to generate intermediate graphics data and send the intermediate graphics data to the second computing device. The second GPU is configured to perform a second portion of the image rendering process to render an image from the intermediate graphics data. The first computing device may be a video game console, and the second computing device may be a virtual reality (VR) headset that warps the rendered image to produce a stereoscopic image pair.
