Here is a summary of the two conferences. Included is a link to a video
recording of session 2 of the conference tutorial "Developing VR
Applications using Unity" which discusses latency reduction, user
interfaces, and reducing simulator
sickness.htt...

I have my nvidia graphics card setttings to always NOT wait on vertical
sync. My opinion is that simulator sickness is worse than tearing
artifacts. Personally I don't notice tearing unless I am explicitly
looking for it. I may not always visually no...
VRPN (Virtual Reality Peripheral Network) is pretty much the standard
for tracking in the academic and research community. The library
supports about 50 trackers. In many cases you can change to different
tracking hardware without having to change th...

I found similar results when measuring latency on older head-mounted
displays. Here is a brief summary of some important factors I found for
LCDs.- The brightness and contrast settings made a big difference on
latency.- How latency is defined--e.g., ...
