Research presented at 2024 IEEE International Conference.
Researchers from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, specifically from the School of Computing in Bengaluru, have introduced a comprehensive study on "Advanced Latency Compensation Techniques for Seamless Online Gaming Experiences." This research, presented as a conference paper at the 2024 IEEE 9th International Conference for Convergence in Technology (I2CT), addresses critical issues of lag and synchronization in multiplayer online gaming environments.
The study proposes a novel integration of several latency management strategies. These include techniques for exposing latency to players, methods for concealing latency through visual and auditory effects, and advanced prediction models. For instance, the research suggests displaying ping time to enhance player awareness of current network delays. Furthermore, to mitigate the impact of network outages and ensure continuous gameplay, the study leverages machine learning algorithms such as k-Nearest Neighbors, Decision Trees, and Random Forests for predicting player input.
The implementation of these combined techniques has shown promising results. The research indicates significant improvements in the overall player experience, characterized by a notable reduction in lag, enhanced fairness across different players, and greater responsiveness in various game genres. This academic contribution provides a deeper understanding of the technological nuances involved in controlling latency in real-time online multiplayer games and offers practical solutions applicable to the global gaming community, reinforcing India's growing presence in advanced tech research.
