Multi-res shading performs this function by diving the image into a grid with 9 viewpoints. Only the center viewpoint is rendered in full resolution. It renders the outer viewpoints at lower resolution because they merge and shrink during the distortion process. Multi-res shading improves the performance of the VR app by rendering fewer pixels. | Multi-res shading performs this function by diving the image into a grid with 9 viewpoints.
