Abstract
An apparatus and method for depth retargeting in a virtual reality (VR) system color buffer compression. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: dividing a virtual screen region into a plurality of smaller regions based on characteristics of a target screen; performing depth retargeting individually for each of the smaller regions including identifying a first set of the smaller regions on which to employ a first depth retargeting technique and a second set of the smaller regions on which to employ a second depth retargeting technique; wherein the first depth retargeting technique comprises subdividing one or more of the smaller regions from the first set into a plurality of sub-regions and performing depth retargeting individually on the sub-regions; combining results of the first depth retargeting technique and the second depth retargeting technique to render the virtual screen region.
