Questions tagged [real-time]

For questions about computations subject to real-time constraints. The minimum framerate for a real-time illusion is usually considered to be around 24 frames per second. See also [interactive] for less strict constraints and [offline] for computations which will take significantly longer.

Use this tag for questions about computations subject to real-time constraints. The minimum framerate for a real-time illusion is usually considered to be around 24 frames per second, at which the human will perceive a sequence of similar frames as fluid motion.

Is there a way to achieve the look of a distant flock or shoal without full simulation?

Although simulation models like Boids give good results for bird flocks or fish shoals on a small scale, simulating every single member in real time becomes unrealistic for huge numbers. Is there a way I can model a flock in the distance where only…

How to improve on bilateral upsampling in real time scenarios

It is a well known "standard" to use bilateral upscaling when it comes to comes to combine a low resolution target and an higher res one. I have personally noticed that using the basic algorithm (with weights based on depth differences between high…

How does vsync affect fps exactly when not at full vsync fps?

I know that if you turn of vsync, it synchronizes rendering with the vertical redraw cycle to prevent tearing, and that doing so caps your rendering rate (FPS) at the monitor refresh rate, which is commonly 60hz / 60 fps, although other rates exist…

live music visualisation

Does anyone out there know of any software for developing real time visualisations and analysis of real time sound, say using a mike? I've found a few but none allow the user to build up their own visualisations. Thanks for any ideas, Jonathan
