Meta's new FrameSync feature aims to make VR a little less nauseating
Meta is rolling out a new frame timing technique for Horizon OS called FrameSync. It's billed as helping to reduce stale frames and increasing responsiveness in VR, all in the name of a smoother visual experience.
There are three main benefits to FrameSync versus the existing method, PhaseSync, according to Meta:
- More consistent smoothness (and often higher fps): FrameSync helps stabilize frame pacing, which typically shows up as less judder and fewer visible hitches during motion.
