Would be quite interesting to look at that, if anyone has a link.
- jeffreygoesto 6y agoSure, duckduckgo.com for example has ;-) But in that paper [0] they talk about 500ms, not 50. The rest of the keywords sound so similar and it is the only match, so I think I got the right one.

- aasasd 6y agoIndeed, sounds similar, though 2014 isn't quite ‘early years’ in my book, and MS doesn't seem to be involved here. On my feeble attempts at searching, the results were instead filled with laments about high values of latency on touchscreens and modern PCs.
- stefs 6y agodid you just tell him to let me duckduckgo that for you?
- fxtentacle 6y agoThat's not the study that I was referring to, but I cannot find the original one, either. If my memory serves me correctly, they compared PS2 with USB and they showed white squares on a CRT screen, so I believe it was from way before 2014.
