[Gear VR] Glow/bloom without HDR
I am still digging around and I can't believe glow/bloom requires HDR on Gear VR when it was done with DX8 back in the days:

Why isn't it possible to do glow/bloom the same way as in that article (without HDR) in UE4 ?

- Indeed! Bloom is such a picture seller, too bad we can't rely on it in GearVR. And I haven't figure out any workarounds to fake it.
- There are ways to fake it - for example check this Oculus developer blog post:
