a) We develop a hardware prototype OLED VR display to capture power measurements when displaying different images. b) Participants view a panoramic scene in VR with our filter turned on, and are encouraged to rotate freely to view the scene in a natural manner. c) Filter intensity is increased over 10 seconds.

Abstract
Untethered VR/AR HMDs can only last 2-3 hours on a single charge. Toward resolving this issue, we develop a real-time gaze-contingent power saving filter which modulates peripheral pixel color while preserving visual fidelity. At SIGGRAPH 2023, participants will be able to view a short panoramic video within a VR HMD with our perceptually-aware power saving filter turned on. Participants will also have the opportunity to view the power output of scenes through our power measurement setup.
