Research on The Effect of Latency on Cognitive Tasks in Immersive Simulations
Introduction
The proposed research is going to explore the perceptual as well as the cognitive impact of latency degradation on user perceptual thresholds and 3D spatial awareness in naturalistic spaces and meaningful situations. Since the combination of sensing, computation, rendering, and transmission delay (latency) is unavoidable in most Virtual Environments (VEs), simulations, tele-operation and augmented reality applications, interest is directed to how detectable differing levels of latency might be. Both the quantification of perceptual sensitivity to latency and description of the mechanism by which VE latency is perceived is essential to guide system design in the development of countermeasures such as predictive compensation. In this research, we examine the effect of latency of memory performance and memory awareness states.
