And many of the regular tricks that devs use to save on rendering costs are lost when building VR games. “It A collision glitch like that in a PC game that may be funny or silly is a lot more intense in VR.” You’re rendering everything twice You have two screens you’re working with. Double the screens, double the render.

rendering may be slower for a second or two, but the slowdown will not be nearly as bad as the typical hiccup caused by classic synchronous compilation. This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter.
