AI could significantly improve the rendering power of Oculus Quest, the virtual reality headset created by Facebook’s Oculus VR

document from Facebook AI researchers details a "super-resolution" algorithm that could be used to create a higher resolution image from a lower resolution image. In practice, this means that Oculus Quest games could be rendered at 70 percent of their current resolution, helping to provide better framerates and the opportunity for more detailed scenes. The super-resolution AI algorithm would then take the lower resolution game and create a new image that looks significantly sharper and more detailed than it originally was. This isn't the first time we've seen this technology used in a consumer product; NVIDIA debuted an AI-upscaling algorithm into the Shield TV late last year and, even before that, Google debuted Super Res Zoom on the Pixel 3's camera in 2018.
