Most attempts to answer it fall back on technical aspects, such as stereoscopy, head tracking, etc., 3:31 — How VR simulates real-world 3D vision. 4:36 — Handling user movement, or: why head tracking is necessary. 5:45 — Embedded (real) video showing head tracking in action.

measures orientation and angular velocity; for ARCore-capable smartphones, it helps enable motion tracking. The simulation (or recreation) of sense of touch through the sensations of applying force, vibration, or motion to the user. when the device has internal cameras and sensors to detect motion and track positioning.

Second, latency on this hardware was said to be under 30 milliseconds but would be improved to under 20 milliseconds — a critical threshold for comfort — by the time the system reaches broader deployment. Then it reverted to the kind of 3DOF head tracking seen with current Daydream and Gear VR headsets.

The HTC Vive Pros were tethered, so there was no latency but the game did have a peculiar dense, dreamlike aspect to it, which often stems from lower refresh rates. It’s a company that specializes in VR movies and VR simulators, but they also offer an arena experience called VR Labyrinth. The team was running a variety of experiences.

There is one other issue for which I do not have a full article, but it’s quite important for new users: VR sickness (aka motion sickness, simulator sickness, …). Today’s VR headsets, at least the ones doing full head tracking (that means Rift/Vive et al.,

At the same time, it uses your phone’s internal gyros to provide the head tracking. This transforms your phone into a VR headset screen, simulating devices like the HTC Vive. Additional latency. You will “feel” the latency in ways that you wouldn’t on a full setup. Higher odds of sim sickness.

Besides a VR-ready PC, that includes everything you need to jump into some of the most popular PC VR games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Half-Life: Alyx, No Man’s Sky, Skyrim VR, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, and Beat Saber. The newly redesigned controllers offer acceptable—but not exceptional—latency and jitter.
