Measuring end-to-end latency in interactive systems

This page gathers two projects published at the UIST conference to measure end-to-end latency. The first one consists in positioning an unmodified optical mouse on the screen while displaying and translating a particular texture to fake mouse displacements resulting in controlled mouse events [Project page]. The second one introduces a low cost method to measure and characterize the end-to-end latency when using a touch system or an input device equipped with a physical button [Project page].
