They mention 12ms, which is 83.3fps. It's a bit too slow for my tastes at $3500 price tag. It might be good for more stationary images, but anything moving will have ghosting/stutter. I'll wait for gen2/3. Still, I'm very happy there is new competition in this field.

My understanding is that the latency is 12ms, but that's orthogonal to the framerate. You could be updating at 240fps (doubtful, admittedly), but those frames are 12ms delayed from what's entering the camera.

Yes you are right. It's not clear what the 12ms represents, input delay or framerate or something else. Hopefully we will get better tech specs soon.

The way it was described was the outside in vision to viewing loop (while layered with app frames), which felt like they were describing the latency or reality lag.

Given refresh rate technology on iPhone and iPad, and the microOLED, I'd expect a ProMotion-like framerate handling:

For what it's worth, some controller lags:

- Xbox One S Wired OC (1k) - 5.2ms

- Xbox Series X Wired OC (1k) - 5.5ms

- Xbox Series X Wireless Adapter - 5.9ms

- Xbox One S Wireless Adapter - 7.1ms

- Xbox One S Bluetooth - 7.6ms

- Dualsense Wired - 11.1ms

- Thrustmaster eSwap Pro Wired - 11.4ms

- Xbox Series X Bluetooth - 12ms

- Dualshock 4 Wired - 13.6ms
