As discussed in our virtual reality (VR) intro blog, whilst the VR industry is moving from strength to strength, there are still a few key issues which often stand in the way of developing a truly successful VR experience. For the purposes of this blog…

Welcome back to the third post in my Virtual Reality (VR) blog series. We’ve already discussed the reasoning behind our interest in VR as a major driving force for graphics development, but even in the time between posts, VR uptake has grown tangibly…
In this blog series we’ll be looking at the current status of Virtual Reality with a special focus on mobile VR, where it’s heading in the future and what ARM® can do to help us get there. We’ll be covering the common challenges and pitfalls and how…
