Code available here.

Overview

• Designed and implemented a toolbox for VR companies to optimize the tradeoff between display performance and cost.

• Includes a powerful DSP pipeline that simulates human visual perception.

• Using this pipeline, the tool predicts the perceived motion artifacts for a display.

Details

• Developed a DSP pipeline to model the human visual system.

• Created a novel formula for a human visual model (CSF formula).

• Created a software toolbox for simulating human perception during display design.

• Used Python, Flask backend, and React.js frontend for toolbox

• Deployed application with CUDA to accelerate computation

The project is supported by Berkeley CIVO. Special thanks to NVIDIA for providing us with compute resources.
