VR mode

VR mode, short for Virtual Reality mode, is a software or hardware setting that configures a device or application to display content optimized for viewing through a virtual reality headset. This typically involves rendering stereoscopic images (separate images for each eye) to create a sense of depth and immersion, as well as tracking the user's head movements to adjust the viewpoint accordingly.

VR mode is frequently found in video games, simulations, and 3D design applications, allowing users to interact with virtual environments in a more realistic and engaging way. Activating VR mode usually requires a compatible VR headset connected to a device, such as a computer, console, or mobile phone. The mode often triggers specific rendering techniques and input methods designed to minimize latency and maximize the user's sense of presence within the virtual environment.

Different VR platforms and headsets may require specific software development kits (SDKs) or APIs to properly implement VR mode. The specific steps for enabling and configuring VR mode can vary depending on the application and the VR hardware being used. Common features include adjustable interpupillary distance (IPD) settings to optimize image clarity and comfort for individual users, as well as options for controlling the field of view and rendering resolution.
