The render farm is one of the most important, high traffic components of a modern VFX pipeline. Beyond the hardware itself a render farm requires careful management and maintenance to ensure it is operating at peak efficiency. In WETAs case this hardware consists of a mix of over 80,000 CPU cores and a number of GPU resources, and as this has grown it has introduced many interesting scalability challenges. In this talk we aim to present our end-to-end solutions in the render farm space, from the structure of the resource and the inherent problems introduced at this scale, through the development of Plow - our management, queuing and monitoring software. Finally we will detail the deployment process and production benefits realized. Within each section we intend to present the scalability issues encountered, and detail our strategy, process and results in solving these problems. The ever increasing complexity and computational demands of modern VFX drives WETAs need to innovate in all areas, from surfacing, rendering and simulation but also to core pipeline infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":163368,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Talks","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133076450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the recent renaissance of virtual reality, content creators have exercised various techniques such as 360-degree cameras and photogrammetry to make this promise come true. At Google, we spent more than 10 years capturing every part of the world as part of the Google Earth project. The result is a rich 3D mesh that contains trillions of triangles [Kontkanen and Parker 2014] and as such is predestined to be a good data source for VR content. In [Kaeser and Buehlmann 2016] we discussed some of our early experiments with bringing Google Earth to virtual reality, but without a focus on developing a product. Following these experiments, we worked extensively to create a well-rounded product, Google Earth VR, which we eventually launched to the world in November 2016. Google Earth VR quickly became one of the most actively used VR applications in the market and has won several awards since. This talk discusses the journey of the Google Earth VR project from its early prototypes to its final launched stage.","PeriodicalId":163368,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Talks","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131788617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wearables are expected to be integral to consumer electronics, with the primary mode of interaction often being a near-eye display. However, current-generation near-eye displays are unable to provide fully natural focus cues for all users, which often leads to discomfort. This core limitation is due to the optics of the systems themselves, with current displays being unable to change focus as required by natural vision. Furthermore, the form factor often makes it difficult for users to wear corrective eyewear. With two prototype near-eye displays, we address these issues using display modes that adapt to the user via computational optics. These prototypes make use of focus-tunable lenses, mechanically actuated displays, and gaze tracking technology to correct common refractive errors per user, and provide natural focus cues by dynamically updating scene depth based on where a user looks. Recent advances in computational optics hint at a future in which some users experience better vision in the virtual world than in the real one.","PeriodicalId":163368,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Talks","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132036577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, most approaches are geared toward one-time, offline generation of static configurations to be fabricated physically. Recently, challenging computational imaging problems, such as seeing around corners or through scattering media, have utilized dynamically addressable optical elements to probe scene light transport. A new class of optimization techniques targeted at these dynamic applications has emerged in which stochastic raytracing replaces the fixed operators applied with conventional optimization methods. By modeling optical systems as raytracing operators, more complex non-linear phenomena and larger problem sizes can be considered. We introduce a simple raytracing-in-the-loop optimization model for a head-mounted display (HMD) containing a spatial light modulator (SLM). Using this approach, we are able to compute color images to be displayed in concert with spatially varying SLM phase maps at a resolution that would otherwise be computationally in-feasible. We also consider extensions of this model that may further enhance the performance of the target system.","PeriodicalId":163368,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Talks","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114080564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
