Draft:Photon-to-Photon Latency

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Photon-to-Photon Latency (abbreviated as PTP Latency) is a metric used in the field of Extended Reality (XR) to measure the speed of a device's see-through capability. It is defined as the time required for an event in the real world to be displayed on the XR device's screen through see-through technology[1]. Photon-to-Photon Latency is commonly used to evaluate the Video See-Through (VST) capability of XR devices.

Definition

[edit]

The term refers to the time difference between the occurrence of a real-world event and its display on the XR device's screen:

where

T0 is the time point when the real-world event occurs.

T1 is the time point when the XR device, through video see-through technology, displays the event on the screen.

Photon-to-Photon Latency of Various XR Devices

[edit]

Apple claims that the Photon-to-Photon Latency of its Apple Vision Pro is within 12 milliseconds[2].
