Profiling VR Games and Applications for Optimum Performance

Speakers: Kevin Hawkins – Principal Engineer/Developer Tools Lead (Qualcomm Technologies Inc., Advanced Content Group)

‘Maximizing the gaming experience on a VR headset requires more than innovative technology and gameplay. It’s equally affected by a game’s ability to manage power consumption and avoid device heat ups. These factors can impact a game’s success by limiting performance and making it unplayable on mobile. Learn how to improve power and thermal efficiency while achieving maximum performance for your VR game or app. Analyze and optimize your VR games and applications by exposing detailed CPU, GPU, and system data to reveal your game’s power and performance characteristics. Understand the potential impact of other apps and background processes for a complete picture of system performance.’
