6 Virtual Reality ALPINE VILLAGE The Alpine Village gaming experience is a fully immersive, snow-filled world. Players can teleport around the world, fire snowballs at snowmen and virtually interact with other players in real time. These virtual worlds give your target audience the opportunity to experience your brand from anywhere. For example, players can encounter branded advertising while teleporting around the world via branded object placement, 3D billboards, etc. Navigable and Social Experiences Streaming in Real Time VR Monetization Customer Data
So how do we get there? Augmented and Virtual Reality has a base requirement of low latency render, compute and network transmission
8 So how do we get When I was your age, this was a dragon … there? We now have a technological dependency on high resolution rendering, high refresh rate and loads of computer vision. Low resolution and lag are no longer just annoying, they are a deal breaker …and we were grateful to have it.
So how do we get there? It is generally accepted that the greatest acceptable time it takes to update the screen from a user’s movement is roughly 20ms. This is referred to as motion-to- photon latency. Typical displays on VR/AR devices have a refresh rate of between 60Hz and 90Hz or 16.66ms to 11.11ms. This is the time to update pixels on a screen. The fastest networks in the US provide 40-200ms latency round trip. On 5G, however, there is a theoretical 1ms latency.
So how do we get there? There is a fundamental need on the network and the GPU to handle rending and compute for the foreseeable future Confidential and proprietary materials for authorized Verizon personnel and outside 10 agencies only.

Virtual Reality PROJECT DRIVE Envrmnt created a virtual drive-in theater where multiple players are able to collectively watch movies (2D videos) and interact with each other in real time, while also being exposed to in-scene advertising. In-scene advertising can be incorporated via object placement, 3D billboards, streaming video, animated ads and/or full branding of the virtual world.

Rendering From VR Works SDK we wanted to highlight the following the functionality: • Lens Matched Shading • Single Pass Stereo Confidential and proprietary materials for authorized Verizon personnel and outside 13 agencies only. Use, disclosure or distribution of this material is not permitted to any unauthorized persons or third parties except by written agreement.
Rendering Single Pass Stereo • Optimizes drawing of left and right eye • Uses Simultaneous Multi-Projection architecture to draw geometry once and then project left and right eyes. Confidential and proprietary materials for authorized Verizon personnel and outside 14 agencies only. Use, disclosure or distribution of this material is not permitted to any unauthorized persons or third parties except by written agreement.
Rendering Our scene consists of • 64 Animated Pumpkins casting point lights • 8x MSAA 1512x1680 per eye Confidential and proprietary materials for authorized Verizon personnel and outside 15 agencies only. Use, disclosure or distribution of this material is not permitted to any unauthorized persons or third parties except by written agreement.
Rendering With Single Pass Shading Without Single Pass Stereo • Without single pass stereo - CPU 4-5ms GPU 7-8ms (occasionally dropping a frame) Without Single • With single pass stereo - CPU 3ms GPU Pass Shading 5-6ms • Net 40% saving on CPU and 25% on GPU Confidential and proprietary materials for authorized Verizon personnel and outside 16 agencies only. Use, disclosure or distribution of this material is not permitted to any unauthorized persons or third parties except by written agreement.
Rendering Lens Matched Shading • Optimizes multi-res pixel shading by rendering to a surface that approximates the lens correct output of the image. Up to 2 x performance improvement for VR Confidential and proprietary materials for authorized Verizon personnel and outside 17 agencies only.

20 Virtual Reality NEON Project Neon is a fully immersive, rich gaming experience that showcases extreme interactivity, flexibility and real- time customization. While multiple players battle monsters and communicate amongst themselves, a “dungeon master” can simultaneously modify the virtual world, introducing new monsters and adding/changing puzzles in real time.
