A Subjective Quality Assessment of Temporally Reprojected Specular Reflections in Virtual Reality

Temporal reprojection is a popular method for mitigating sampling artifacts from a variety of sources. This work investigates it's impact on the subjective quality of specular reflections in Virtual Reality(VR). Our results show that temporal reprojection is highly effective at improving the visual comfort of specular materials, especially at low sample counts. A slightly diminished effect could also be observed in improving the subjective accuracy of the resulting reflection.
