Description

In WebXR, when running VR session, it has multiple views - which basically runs renderer loop for each view. This has a lot of overhead.

OVR_multiview2 extension allows to issue single drawcall to multiple views. This has significant CPU>GPU benefit, by reducing number of WebGL calls from javascript.
