Next week at MWC 2017, Futuremark and OptoFidelity will be presenting their new VR (virtual reality) latency testing platform for manufacturers, featuring the best of both worlds from Futuremark's expertise in benchmarking software with OptoFidelity's expertise in robotics, measurement technology, automation, and hardware, for higher quality VR experience preventing motion sickness and nausea.  

Applied with both VR and AR (augmented reality) systems, the two companies’ partnership goal is to make a true end-to-end performance measurements of the motion-to-photon latency of VR equipment by lowering it to <20ms, which is necessary to create the feeling that you are actually in the virtual world.

VRMark, the virtual reality benchmark

With this, the VR latency testing platform is the perfect tool for R&D design verification and certification, test laboratory use, and competitor analysis. As it produces reliable and repeatable results quickly and with minimal setup time; able to transfer all measurement data into a testing software and design database for complete analysis; or save and download results to a computer. Here is a list of solutions that can enable end-to-end measurements of key VR performance indicators. 

  • Motion-to-photon latency
  • Pixel persistence
  • Frame Jerkiness and jitter
  • Dropped and duplicated frames
  • Left versus right eye frame delay
  • Audio/Video synchronization
  • Motion-to-Audio Latency
  • Frame time breakdown identifying key pipeline events
  • Study late frames and the effects of timewarp

Companies and organizations interested in VR latency testing are invited to see the solution in action at Mobile World Congress on stand 5C43 in Hall 5 from February 27 to March 2 and at GDC on stand 142 from March 1-3.
