They also emit real photons. 🤯

Yep, virtual lights work the same as real lights
-
If they’re not looked at, they don’t consume as much electricity. So there’s that difference.
-
If you have your back to them, they don't emit light either!
Edit: Well, reflections, for you with the FANCY GPUs...
-
Exactly what I thought while I was commenting that. The reflections are what made me rewrite it 😅
-
That depends on how the game does reflections. In some games they have a mirrored room with an identical but different light for the reflection.

The problem with those virtual lamps is that when you look away, the light turns off but the heat doesn't.

Virtual lights are real lights...

Nah, fuck that. Buys e-ink monitor
-
They would still emit real photons, just reflected ones.
-
Strictly speaking, reflected light isn't 'emitted'. A mirror isn't an emitter of light either.
-
Photons get absorbed and then re-emitted. I'd argue that counts as emission as it's one part of the reflection process.
