LATENCY

Using:

• HelloVR sample modified to change color on button press

• Latency meter (instrumented switch + photodiode)

• Local Cloud with Client on WiFi (average ping time 4 ms)

LATENCY

Results:

Server Driver + Client App latency = 12.1 ms.

The Jitter FIFO can be downsized at the cost of occasional missed frames.
