In-Sync Output Audio

Hello Hunter,
I’d like to share the issues I’ve been observing.
- Audio-Video Synchronization

Lower latency is always preferable. However, by shifting the audio backwards, it is possible to align audio and video.
In my environment(Tokyo), I delayed the audio by 730 ms to synchronize it with Daydream’s streaming.
- Streaming Fluctuations

Daydream’s streaming experiences fluctuations.
For example, when the amount of visual information sent from TouchDesigner increases, latency also increases.
You can see this clearly in the video I recorded (“Video2”).
In fact, this fluctuation is the biggest challenge, as it makes achieving true audio-reactivity very difficult.
- Occasional Streaming Stalls

I have also noticed that when the visual information from TouchDesigner is reduced, Daydream’s streaming occasionally stalls.
I understand that synchronization is a very difficult problem, with many contributing factors beyond just Daydream’s servers.
That said, as I’ve mentioned many times, Daydream is a truly innovative technology.
