Much like Samsung Gear VR, Mi VR features a built-in dedicated motion sensor for low latency head-tracking and only works with a select number of the company’s phones. The post Xiaomi Unveils Low-Cost, Low-Latency VR Headset with Controller appeared first on Road to VR.

And the clunk of the user-facing software layer really diminishes the incredible things the headset is actually doing under the hood (the invisible stuff like head tracking, world tracking, passthrough, rendering games and apps with incredibly low latency, etc).

Because of the lack of onboard electronics, Daydream-compatible phones require highly-tuned inertial measurement units (IMUs) which determine head-tracking latency, not to mention the graphical guts to make the cut.

When testing at 100 Mbps he found the resultant image sharp but too choppy for play.

Generally speaking, the capabilities of ultrasonic tracking have been considered insufficient as a head-tracking solution for high-end VR headsets, though hand-tracking is less sensitive to latency and inaccuracy, and could prove effective with the right implementation.

That made the experience quite choppy—probably not running at a steady 90 FPS as it should—which made the head-tracking feel sub-par. This probably impacted the feeling of the controller-tracking too, though I think the controllers had their own issues with latency and precision.

The HTC Vive Pros were tethered, so there was no latency but the game did have a peculiar dense, dreamlike aspect to it, which often stems from lower refresh rates.

Or how does resolution or latency affect simulator sickness? That was hard coding work and getting packets to arrive at the same time and making sure the latency wasn’t too horrible to cause synchrony to break down. The latency, I think, was about a quarter second. I didn’t want to take that step.
