Does the SLR app on Quest2 use FFR?

Hi,

I'm wondering if the SLR app on Quest2 use FFR (Fixed Foveated Rendering if anyone doesn't know) at all? I played around with the setting through SideQuest and didn't notice any difference, but wanted to confirm.

EDIT: Also came across some reddit posts saying that FFR is not really applicable in pure video playback, but rather more in real-time graphics rendering (i.e. games), so this may be the reason that I didn't notice any difference with the settings. But if someone can confirm this as well that'd be great!

Thanks!

not by default, but if you are forcibly enabling it system-wide via SideQuest then yes

you can check it yourself by running the OVR Metrics Tool at the same time as the app and looking for the 'FOV' value. it will be 0-4, where 0 is none and 4 is the maximum foveation level.

spacepirate Thank you. I set it to 'off' and it shows 0 in OVR Metrics like you mentioned.
