Another example is music (and relatedly, rythm games). With memorized music you have maximal anticipation of actions. The regular rithm only amplifies that anticipation. Musicians can be very consistent at timing (especially rithm section), and very little latency or jitter can throw that off.
- tengwar2 2y agoIt's something you can get used to. A concert pianist can have 2-3 notes chasing each other down his/her arm. Myelinated nerve fibres are fast (the physiology is really interesting), but still has limits. Latency is more important for organists. Firstly, some instruments can have a delay of up to half a second for some ranks (a rank is a set of pipes - there can be one or more ranks per stop). Secondly, in any church of appreciable size, there will be a significant delay between when you press a key and when you hear the congregation singing the note. In fact standard advice is to ignore the congregation, otherwise you can end up slowing down as a reaction to the latency. So for the second problem, you just ignore input and play "open loop". For the first problem, you may have to play notes on the slow rank slightly early, although this is only practical if you separate them off on a different keyboard. Otherwise, you can only use that rank for slow music, and make use of the note increasing in volume and changing in tone as that rank comes in.
