Abstract
In this paper we propose a novel prediction method for the head motion using Grey System theory, where a 6D tracker is attached to an HMD on a user s head in virtual reality applications. Our prediction method using Grey System Model can greatly reduce the latency by at least one half and reduce image jittering. A system latency below 100 ms or even 50 ins can be achieved, even though without prediction the latency is around 200 ms. Using 6 points in prediction with Grey System Model is currently the best in tracker prediction as we tried from 2 points to 10 points.In order to measure the latency, we also propose a way to measure it in an HMD system precisely and conveniently. During the process, we have implemented four different prototypes respectively on a PC486, a SUN SparcStation10, an SGI IndigoR4000, and a high performance computer image generator. The computation complexity of our prediction method is relatively low and therefore real time requirement is easily met.
