Configure Hololight Stream Runtime render settings

Objectives

  • Be able to understand Hololight Stream Runtime render settings and change them to get the best experience.

Configure render settings

There are multiple settings available that affect how applications get rendered when streamed to the device connected using Hololight Stream Runtime.

Change the preferred reprojection method

Reprojection is when a device connected to an application using Hololight Stream Runtime takes information from previously rendered frames and combines that with motion data from the headset itself in order to create image frames. These generated frames are predictions that smooth out movement when using an application with the device.

Devices have their own ways of handling reprojection. Hololight Stream Runtime also has its own method, called "depth reprojection", but this is not supported by all devices.

You can change the preferred reprojection setting using the Hololight Stream Runtime utility. This means that if the method you select is not available on the device you connect with, Hololight Stream Runtime will use the best alternative. For the best rendering possible, you should put your preferred reprojection as Depth reprojection which offers better stability.

  1. Open Hololight Stream Runtime utility. Select Configuration.

  2. Use the dropdown under Rendering > Preferred reprojection method and select one of the following:

    Preferred reprojection methods
    Method Description

    Device default

    Default method of reprojection used by the device connecting using the Hololight Stream Runtime.

    Depth reprojection

    Recommended reprojection method. Use for the best image stability.

Toggle pose prediction

Pose prediction is the prediction of the future position and orientation of a user’s head in order to create a smoother and more responsive XR streaming experience.

To enable or disable pose prediction, go to Rendering > Pose prediction and use the toggle switch.

This pose prediction setting does not work on Apple Vision Pro, Apple iOS, and Apple iPad devices.
