lag

In online gaming, lag is a noticeable delay between the action of players and the reaction of the server in a video game. Although lag may be caused by high latency, it may also occur due to insufficient processing power either in the server (where it may process time based events) or in the client (screen-lag). Screen-Lag can also happen in single player games as well.
The tolerance for lag depends heavily on the type of game. For instance, a strategy game or a turn-based game with a low pace may have a high threshold or even be mostly unaffected by high delays, whereas a twitch gameplay game such as a first-person shooter with a considerably higher pace may require significantly lower delay to be able to provide satisfying gameplay. However, the specific characteristics of the game matter. For example, fast chess is a turn-based game that is fast action and may not tolerate high lag. Also, some twitch games can be designed such that only events that don't impact the outcome of the game introduce lag, allowing for fast local response most of the time.

    Quest 3 - Tracking Lag?

    I've just upgraded my Rift CV1 to a Quest 3, and one thing I was hoping would have improved was the slight lag I've always found with motion tracking. Nothing major, just the slight sense that my VR 'hands' are a few frames behind my real ones. It feels almost as if I'm dragging the VR ones...

    My club uses a Optoma Video projector with a single camera connected to it with an HDMI cable. It was decided it would be better to use two cameras at different angles with a selector switch.

    I've heard that when connecting wireless bluetooth headphones to a smart TV there is a lag/delay unless the TV's bluetooth has aptx low latency.
