Streaming effects

Here are the test results of netizens:

Asynchronous time synchronization is ATW
Annotation convex rendering is actually FFR, annotation point rendering is just these
two VDs have always been there
And in other areas such as slice encoding and frame phase synchronization, which can greatly reduce latency There is no ALVR support

yet VD has also done a lot of work on gamepad motion prediction. It’s hard enough to beat beatsaber EXPERT

I think the only thing that ALVR is better than VD is that it is free and supports gesture tracking, and there is no comparison in terms of latency/stability/community support

I tried it,The picture feels very good, it’s almost the same as VD,But the delay fluctuates at 50ms-70ms,The bitrate has been pulled to 30, and the delay can’t go down
