P‐119: Stochastic Scanning for Unsynchronized, Low‐Latency Display Without Tearing

Since their creation, displays have used the top‐to‐bottom raster scan. In today's interactive applications, this scan is a liability, forcing users to choose between complete frames with synchronization delay; or "torn" frames without this delay. We propose a stochastic scan that enables low‐latency, unsynchronized display without tearing. We also discuss an interactive display simulator that allows us to investigate the effects of stochastic and other scans on interaction and imagery.
