presumably changes to tag inputs accurately to the timing the local stream is at, which seems to me would make a rhythm game perfectly fine streaming?

not like it's latency between audio and video in this instance. so as long as the software does know what the user saw when they pushed the button it doesn't matter that much if the score feedback is some hundreds of millis behind.

e: stadia still dumb and bad, but not for this reason, and not even for this genre so much

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
does stadia actually have a mechanism for determining the client output at a given time?

It's going to be constantly sending latency measurements back. So long as its consistent they should be able to compensate for it well enough. Jitter is a different matter and would cause problems.

given the prevalence of jitter on cable internet services i imagine it might be a rather large problem

I doubt it’s as sophisticated as latency based rollback netcode

I notice a considerable difference in how difficult that game is between my computer->receiver->TV at 60hz and my 144hz directly connected monitor so still seems like a bad demo

have you ever played it? it's not the scoring, hundreds of milliseconds in the feedback from pressing a button would be intolerable

you don't need that to make a dumb rhythm game mostly acceptable though, what you need is to make the scores fair (as in based on button presses synced to video/audio output). it will be relatively unnoticeable of you *report* them 200 ms late as long as there is proper firework for "PERFECT!"

i've not played this particular game no, but rhythm games i have played have been of a kind where i'd be downright inclined to close my eyes to maximize my chances of hitting the precise timings.

in fact, yet another case where if stadia just went after the party rockstar/singstar crowd, allowing the use of android devices, with one-time rentals, it'd make so much more sense than the current "lol it's a console in the cloud"

I see what you're saying and I agree the scoring could be easily compensated but there is strong audio/visual/haptic feedback in thumper, it’s kind of integral to the whole experience. and it’s a very very fast game

how is the product everyone wants google to kill the only one that lives on?

quote:

Google is making its latest augmented reality headset, Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2, available for direct purchase, nearly a year after launching it through select workplace partners for $999 a unit. The price remains the same, but Google says you no longer have to go through a “solution provider” to purchase one. That’s especially helpful for developers who may want to tinker with Google’s heads-up display and haven’t been able to easily do so since the device’s initial, ill-fated “Explorer Edition” launch way back in 2014.

Another interpretation is that the "solution provider" thing didn't pan out and they need to sell off their remaining inventory before they cancel it again.

You ask this almost as if "who wants this" is a thing that Google takes into consideration when launching products.

obviously that’s not true but by now they should have killed it already because there’s no way anyone is buying these.

my theory is that Sergei and Larry like theirs and that’s why the whole project is still running

it is adorable that onlive had an infinitely better interface way before its time, and that nvidia's thing has been in beta for ages, and that sony has also been working on its own thing publicly as a baseline that stadia would need to beat out as a baseline

you can actually extrapolate some higher frequencies from a frequency-limited signal. the nyquist-Shannon theorems are for dealing with exact sample encoding. in audio it doesn’t have to be exact, close is good enough.
