What is motion compensation?
Motion compensation is a feature that helps smooth frame rates in VR applications for a more seamless visual experience.
If an app is unable to consistently deliver the needed frame rate (90 FPS for
VIVE Pro 2), motion compensation reduces the frame rate by half, and then uses advanced prediction algorithms to synthesize the missing frames. The result is smoother performance without stuttering or lag, while requiring less processing power to render. This can also help relieve disorientation and motion sickness caused by VR lag.
Motion compensation can further reduce the frame rate below half, and synthesize additional frames as needed. However, synthesized frames may have artifacts in some apps.
To use motion compensation, you need the following:
- NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX1060, AMD Radeon™ RX 480 equivalent, or better
- Windows 10 version 1903 or later
Here's how to enable motion compensation:
From
VIVE Console, click
> Settings > Video. Then, turn on the Motion compensation
On/Off switch.
