- On Smoothly Varying Frame Timing in First-person Gaming
Session/Category Title: The Sporting Life

Abstract:
We present a user study using smoothly varying frame timing and variable refresh rate to measure user performance in FPS games. Through two experiments, we find that varying frame time affects the perception of smoothness, though we measure no additional impact on FPS aiming performance.
