An Introduction Virtual reality creates an end-to-end mechanism that replaces our natural “real-world” environment with an immersive simulation. It creates a simulated environment you can effectively interact with. Now, innovators have transformed virtual reality experiences with low-latency software and upgraded hardware.

The renderer uses an algorithm called ‘path tracing’ that photo-realistically simulates light in the virtual scene. This process introduces ‘latency’, which is the time it takes to update frames with new user input taken into account. Unfortunately, there are many factors that can increase latency.
