WebXRアプリケーションの最適化
イントロダクション
高く一貫したフレームレートは、楽しいXR体験を作るために重要です。VR/ARコンテンツを作成する際には、早期にテストと最適化を行い、開発全体で目標のフレームレートを維持することが特に重要です。
For AR experiences, framerates must be managed carefully as world tracking sometimes incurs significant performance costs. This is in addition to the typically performance-constrained mobile hardware most users have access to.
VR体験では、レンダリングが特に負荷が高くなります。なぜなら、シーンを各ビュー（目）ごとに1回ずつレンダリングする必要があるためです。PlayCanvasはVRレンダリングが効率的に行われるように最適化されていますが、ステレオレンダリングはモノレンダリングよりもコストが高くなります。
For pass-through experiences, AR and VR requirements are combined, and the underlying system has to perform a lot of computation for positioning, image processing, and overlaying rendered images, in addition to other APIs that can be used: depth sensing, color access, image tracking, and more. And duplicate rendering for each eye.
In addition, modern HMD devices demand high frame rates, like 75Hz or 90Hz and higher, further increasing the need for highly efficient rendering.
PlayCanvas, however, includes several features specifically designed to let your application do more in less time.
Draw Calls and Batching
Draw Calls are operations when the engine provides necessary information to the GPU for rendering an object. The more objects you have in the scene, the more draw calls it will require to render each frame. To reduce the number of draw calls it is recommended to minimize the number of objects in the frame by culling, static batching and instancing.
ランタイムライトマップの生成
Each dynamic light has a per-frame runtime cost. The more lights have you the higher the costs and the slower your scene will render. By baking lights into lightmaps you can hugely reduce the cost of static lights to that of simply rendering a texture. Lightmaps can be generated offline using your favorite 3D modeling tool or you can use PlayCanvas's built-in Runtime Lightmap Generation.
Cautious use of real-time shadows
For similar reasons to dynamic lights, dynamic shadows also have a per-frame runtime cost. Omni lights, in particular, have to render the scene 6 times to generate shadow maps. You should avoid having many lights casting dynamic shadows.
フィルレートとオーバードローに注意する
The fill rate refers to the number of shader operations that are applied to each pixel on the screen. If you have expensive fragment shader calculations (e.g. lots of lights and complicated materials) and a high resolution (e.g. a mobile phone with a high device pixel ratio) then your application will spend too much time rendering the scene to maintain a high frame rate.
Overdraw refers to how many pixels are overwritten by drawing geometry that is obscured by other geometry closer to the camera. Too much overdraw shows that you are wasting GPU processing trying to draw pixels that are not visible. This is usually caused by transparency on materials and non-opaque blending.

ガ ベージコレクションスタールの対策
Webブラウザは、未使用のJavaScriptオブジェクトの自動ガベージコレクション機能を備えています。PlayCanvasエンジンは、ランタイムのアロケーションを最小限に抑えるように設計されており、コードでも同様の努力をするべきです。ベクトルや他のオブジェクトを事前に割り当てて再利用することで、フレームごとに大量のオブジェクトが作成されて破棄されることを防ぐようにしましょう。
プロファイリングツール
PlayCanvas comes with a built-in profiler tool. In the Editor use the Launch Profiler button to run your application with profiling active. Read more about the profiler
