Breakthrough Research Using ILLIXR Gains Recognition at Major Conferences

We are thrilled to announce that numerous research papers leveraging the ILLIXR platform have been accepted at major international conferences. This recognition underscores the pivotal role of ILLIXR in driving forward the boundaries of immersive computing and XR (Extended Reality) technologies.

Key Papers and Conferences

1. The 16th ACM Multimedia Systems Conference (MMSys) 2025

   • Paper Title: "RemoteVIO: Offloading Head Tracking in an End-to-End XR System"
     • Authors: Q. Jiang, Y. Pang, W. Sentosa, S. Gao, M. Huzaifa, J. Zhang, J. Perez-Ramirez, D. Das, D. Gonzalez-Aguirre, B. Godfrey, and S. Adve
     • Summary: This paper presents RemoteVIO, the first open-source end-to-end XR system that offloads head tracking to a remote server, reducing CPU power consumption by up to 52% while evaluating user experience and net power savings on real hardware.
   • Paper Title: "WarpLab: Evaluating Edge-Assisted Rendering Offload for Low Power Extended Reality Devices"
     • Authors: S. Gao, J. Liu, Q. Jiang, W. Sentosa, B. Godfrey, and S. Adve
     • Summary: This paper develops OpenWarp, an open-source mesh-based reprojection technique for XR rendering that enhances frame generation efficiency and reduces power consumption while addressing translational latency challenges in network-constrained offloaded rendering.

2. The 2023 IEEE International Symposium on Workload Characterization (IISWC) 2023

   • Paper Title: "PBVR: Physically Based Rendering in Virtual Reality"
   • Authors: Y. Tozlu and H. Zhou
   • Summary: This paper explores the application of physically based rendering techniques in virtual reality environments, utilizing the ILLIXR platform to enhance realism and performance in VR workloads.
