La latencia es el retraso experimentado entre la realización de un movimiento, el momento en que es captado por los dispositivos y periféricos de medición para la orientación, y finalmente el instante en que el usuario percibe el resultado de dicho movimiento en el visor del dispositivo. Una alta latencia empeoraría notablemente la inmersión y aumentaría la incomodidad. A esta medida de tiempo se la conoce como latencia de movimiento a fotón (motion-to-photon latency) y se ve influenciada por la propagación de la latencia en diferentes estadios entre que se realiza el movimiento y se percibe el nuevo fotograma de vuelta. 1, record 1, Spanish, - latencia%20de%20movimiento%20a%20fot%C3%B3n
