Abstract

A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be configured to receive information indicative of a fovea region. The apparatus may be configured to identify, based on the information indicative of the fovea region, high priority bins and low priority bins. The apparatus may be configured to determine a rendering time allotment for the frame. The apparatus may be configured to determine that the rendering time allotment for the frame will be exceeded, based on an amount of time used to render the high priority bins and the low priority bins. The apparatus may be configured to render, based on the determination that the rendering time allotment for the frame will be exceeded, at least one of the low priority bins at a first quality instead of a second quality.
