Achieving Infinite Detail and Dense Complexity with True Stereoscopic 3D Imposters at almost Zero Performance Impact in VR is now Possible with VRSI !
NEW Unity Editor Tool for Standard / HDRP and URP Pipelines
Introducing
VRSI
VIRTUAL REALITY STEREO 3D IMPOSTERS
VRSI is a Game Changer for Unity VR! Achieve Impossibly Complex and Dense Scenes even on very limited standalone VR headsets such as the Oculus Quest 1/2. The generated VRSI’s look indistinguishable from their real 3D mesh counterparts. They can be dynamically lit by any light source, cast and receive shadows, animate (such as wind animation on trees and other vegetation) just like the real object after a very simple and rapid creation process in VRSI Creation Studio.
To truly appreciate the Power and versatility of VRSI it must be experienced inside Virtual Reality.

What is VRSI?
Traditional 2D Billboards or Standard Stereo Pair Images in Virtual reality cannot be effectively used as an Imposter to show a realistic representation. It either looks flat or suffers from the known stereo image pop-out effect as viewing distance changes. VRSI provides True 3D Stereo Billboards and look almost identical to the real object, even better most of the time. It is important to understand, VRSI is the only method to generate and display 3D Imposter Billboards in VR. Standard Side-By-Side stereo pair texture billboards cannot be used in VR due to locked image seperation, they will exhibit extreme Pop-Out when the viewer is far away and it will not fit in with any other existing object.
VRSI solves all of these issues by taking advantage of a feature only available in Virtual Reality. VRSI allows for an ultra-realistic representation that can be used as a true 3D Imposter, use multiple or even thousands or millions of instances as there is almost zero performance impact! Please keep in mind the generated VRSI billboards are best seen inside VR as the user will see the complete depth parallax.

Achieving Infinite Detail and Complexity in VR with True Stereoscopic 3D Imposters at almost Zero Performance Impact is now Possible. They look great at ‘Any’ Distance, even at extreme close-ups.
-
Exclusively developed to work with VR, VRSI will allow everyone to populate their VR worlds/scenes to look incredibly dense, a 5000000 Polygon Tree can be represented with a single polygon with full depth stereo paralax inside VR! This is Indispensable for any VR project when performance matters.

When you want to achieve the highest level of detail, density and Complexity at the Highest Performance, VRSI is the ideal tool for in your arsenal.
What is included and how does VRSI work?
VRSI is a Unity tool and there are no other dependencies, once a VRSI is created in VRSI Studio scene, multiple prefabs are created with the correct shaders attached ready to be used. The generated prefabs range from;
- Unlit stationary (Manual placement for Rocks, houses, etc…)
- Y-locked unlit (Camera facing corrected for VR)
- Lighttable stationary
- Y-locked Lighttable (Camera facing corrected for VR)
Lighttable shaders wil will be Lit by all the lights in the scene including casting and receiving shadows.
All the shaders have the option for Wind Animation toggle which can be used for most foliage. When MSAA is enabled, Alpha-to-coverage is also enabled on all the VRSI billboards for anti-aliased edges in VR. All shaders also include Color variation toggle to provide minor color changes, which is suitable for Trees and other foliage where they can all look different.
