D Correct answer
Explanation

Pressure-Sensitive Paint (PSP) involves coating a surface with a pressure-sensitive paint that changes color or intensity based on the local pressure.

Multiple choice

What is the term used to describe the technique of rendering only the part of the scene that the user is currently looking at?

  1. Foveated rendering

  2. Adaptive rendering

  3. Dynamic rendering

  4. Selective rendering
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Foveated rendering is a technique used in VR to improve visual quality and reduce computational load. It involves rendering only the part of the scene that the user is currently looking at in high detail, while reducing the quality of the peripheral vision.
