NVIDIA Demonstrates Experimental “Zero Latency” Display Running at 1,700Hz
[Philip Lelyveld note: this very fast display still needs a very fast processor/CPU and, if tethered, a very fast connection.]
At GTC 2016 this week, Luebke demonstrated an experimental display with a refresh rate that’s almost 20 times faster what we see in current consumer head mounted displays. Running at a whopping 1,7000Hz, the display was mounted on a rail system which allowed it to be rapidly moved back and forth. When shaken vigorously, the image on the display stayed locked in place to an impressive degree. Even when magnified closely, the image on the screen seemed entirely fixed in place.
A 90Hz display shows an image every 11 milliseconds, while this 1,700Hz display shows an image every 0.58 milliseconds.
“…if you can apply this to a VR display, that kind of ultra-low latency would help things stay rock-solid in the environment, to the point that the display would no longer be a source of latency. So this is effectively a zero latency display,” said Luebke.
..you also need extremely low latency input. ...wheels on the rails feed the movement of the carriage almost instantaneously into the system.
