Abstract

This research presents an immersive Virtual Environment (VE) of minimum tracking latency. Subsequently, we quantify the cognitive impact of head-tracking latency by investigating the effect of latency on spatial cognition, awareness states and mental imagery. Both the quantification of perceptual sensitivity to latency and description of the mechanism by which VE latency is perceived and controlled will be essential to guide system countermeasures such as predictive compensation.
