     * When set, the device driver must switch to a mode optimized for low display
     * persistence that is intended to be used when the device is being treated as a
     * head mounted display (HMD). The actual display brightness in this mode is
     * implementation dependent, and any value set for color in LightState may be
     * overridden by the HAL implementation.
     *
     * For an optimal HMD viewing experience, the display must meet the following
     * criteria in this mode:
     * - Gray-to-Gray, White-to-Black, and Black-to-White switching time must be ≤ 3 ms.
     * - The display must support low-persistence with ≤ 3.5 ms persistence.
     *   Persistence is defined as the amount of time for which a pixel is
     *   emitting light for a single frame.
     * - Any "smart panel" or other frame buffering options that increase display
     *   latency are disabled.
     * - Display brightness is set so that the display is still visible to the user
     *   under normal indoor lighting.
     * - The display must update at 60 Hz at least, but higher refresh rates are
     *   recommended for low latency.
