Abstract:
Dynamic soft shadows may be generated without resorting to computationally-expensive multiple render passes and sampling, or lightmap generation. With disclosed systems and methods, a dynamic soft shadow may be rendered in a single pass, which is sufficiently efficient to run on an untethered virtual reality (VR) device, such as a head mounted device (HMD). Despite the efficiency, the shadow quality may be markedly superior to those generated with other methods. In some embodiments, a script may be used with a shader to render a shadow having a realistic size, shape, position, fading factor and sharpness, based on a position and size of a shadow casting element and a light vector.

Claim (Index 9):
The system of  claim 1  wherein rendering a shadow for the shadow casting element comprises rendering a soft shadow in a single-pass operation.
