Gaming at Warp Speed: Improving Aiming with Late Warp

Abstract

Latency can make all the difference in competitive online games. Late warp is a class of techniques used in VR that can reduce latency in FPS games as well. Prior work has demonstrated these techniques can recover most of the player performance lost to computer or network latency. Inspired by work demonstrating the usefulness of late warp as a potential solution to FPS latency, we provide an interactive demonstration, playable in a web browser, that shows how much latency limits aiming performance, and how late warp can help.
