As one example, the resolution may be reduced using coarse pixel shading in order to create a new depiction at the speed of head movement. In accordance with another embodiment, only the region the user is looking at is processed in full resolution and the remainder of the depiction is processed at lower resolution. In still another embodiment, the background depictions may be blurred or grayed out to reduce processing time. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A graphics processing unit, comprising: a plurality of texture units, a shared memory coupled to the plurality of texture units, a plurality of register files coupled to the shared memory, a plurality of load/store units coupled to the shared memory, and a
