Abstract

An embodiment of a graphics apparatus may include a focus identifier to identify a focus area, and a color compressor to selectively compress color data based on the identified focus area. Another embodiment of a graphics apparatus may include a motion detector to detect motion of a real object, a motion predictor to predict a motion of the real object, and an object placer to place a virtual object relative to the real object based on the predicted motion of the real object. Another embodiment of a graphics apparatus may include a frame divider to divide a frame into viewports, a viewport prioritizer to prioritize the viewports, a renderer to render a viewport of the frame in order in accordance with the viewport priorities, and a viewport transmitter to transmit a completed rendered viewport. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
