/**
|
|
* Implement this HAL to receive callbacks when a virtual reality (VR)
|
|
* application is being used. VR applications characteristically have a number
|
|
* of special display and performance requirements, including:
|
|
* - Low sensor latency - Total end-to-end latency from the IMU, accelerometer,
|
|
* and gyro to an application-visible callback must be extremely low (<5ms
|
|
* typically). This is required for HIFI sensor support.
|
|
* - Low display latency - Total end-to-end latency from the GPU draw calls to
|
|
* the actual display update must be as low as possible. This is typically
|
|
* achieved by using SurfaceFlinger in a single-buffered mode, and assuring
|
|
* that draw calls are synchronized with the display scanout correctly. Any
|
|
* GPU settings required to allow consistent performance of this operation
|
|
* are required, including the EGL extensions: EGL_IMG_context_priority, and
|
|
* EGL_XXX_set_render_buffer_mode.
|
|
* - Low-persistence display - Display persistence settings must be set as low as
|
|
* possible while still maintaining a reasonable brightness. For a typical
|
|
* display running at 60Hz, pixels should be illuminated for <4ms to be
|
|
* considered low-persistence (<2ms is desirable). This avoids ghosting
|
|
* during movements in a VR setting.
|
|
* - Consistent performance of the GPU and CPU - When given a mixed GPU/CPU
|
|
* workload for a VR application with bursts of work at regular intervals
|
|
* several times a frame. CPU scheduling should ensure that the application
|
|
* render thread is run consistently within 1ms of when required for the
|
|
* draw window, and an appropriate clockrate is maintained to ensure the
|
|
* workload finishes within the time alloted to the draw window. Likewise,
|
|
* GPU scheduling should ensure that work from the application render thread
|
|
* is given priority over other GPU work, and that a high enough clockrate can
|
|
* be maintained to ensure that this completes within the draw window. CTS
|
|
* tests with example VR workloads will be available to assess performance
|
|
* tuning.
|
|
*
|
|
* Vendors implementing this HAL are expected to use set_vr_mode as a hint to
|
|
* enable VR-specific performance tuning, and to turn on any device features
|
|
* optimal for VR display modes (or do nothing if none are available). Devices
|
|
* that advertise FEATURE_VR_MODE_HIGH_PERFORMANCE are must pass the additional
|
|
* CTS performance tests required for this feature and follow the additional
|
|
* guidelines for hardware implementation for "VR Ready" devices.
|
|
*
|
|
* No methods in this HAL will be called concurrently from the Android framework.
