AlphaPixel Software Development and OpenSceneGraph Professional Services have released OVR_MultiView2 extension support for OpenSceneGraph to greatly improve performance of OpenSceneGraph on multi-view applications (VR/AR, Holographic).
Working together, AlphaPixel and Robert Osfield, project lead of OpenSceneGraph, have integrated support for the OpenGL extension called GL_OVR_multiview2 ( https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/extensions/OVR/OVR_multiview2.txt ). This extension can significantly decrease rendering overhead when producing 3d content for displays with multiple viewpoints, including Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Holographic systems. AlphaPixel originally developed this code for a client using the VARJO VR/AR headsets and then funded Robert and OpenSceneGraph Professional Services to adapt and integrate the code into mainline OpenSceneGraph to make it available for all users.
These new performance capabilities are available now in the OpenSceneGraph GitHub repository.
