Mobile AR/VR Thermal Throttling Simulator

Interactive 3D simulator of mobile-GPU thermal throttling during AR/VR rendering: raise the scene workload, watch the chip heat up under Newton's law of cooling, and see dynamic frequency scaling drag frame rate below the 60/90 FPS target.

Every AR or VR app on a phone shares the same enemy: a heatsink the size of a fingernail. This simulator models a mobile GPU rendering a live AR/VR scene — raise the scene workload or switch to VR's stereo rendering and watch the die heat up under Newton's law of cooling until dynamic frequency scaling kicks in, dragging the achievable frame rate below the 60 FPS (AR) or 90 FPS (VR) target. The floating content above the device visibly stutters as its update rate is throttled along with the simulated clock speed, and a live comfort-risk readout tracks how sustained sub-target frame rates in VR mode erode the motion-to-visual sync that keeps users comfortable.

⚙ Under the hood

Simulate how sustained AR/VR rendering workload heats a mobile GPU under Newton's law of cooling and triggers dynamic frequency scaling, watching frame rate collapse below the 60/90 FPS target as the thermal limit is reached.
