About the lecture: As for the composition of a virtual reality system, the virtual reality engine that drives its operation is an integral part, in addition to hardware and content. The engine completes the integration of user tracking information, renders virtual reality content in an optimized manner, and performs the final display on a particular hardware.In the last two years, the software system which can be called a virtual reality engine has made some significant progress in its function, which brings new experiences and opportunities to its designers, developers and users in terms of rendering efficiency, rendering authenticity, supported hardware types and integration ways of tracking information. This lecture calls the progress "3.0" version of virtual reality engine and will introduce it.
