'''Motion-to-photon latency''' ('''MTP latency'''), also known as '''end-to-end latency''', is a critical performance metric in [[virtual reality]] (VR) and [[augmented reality]] (AR) systems. It measures the total time delay from the moment a user initiates a physical movement (e.g., turning their head or moving a controller) to the moment the first [[photon]]s of light reflecting that movement are emitted from the system's display and reach the user's eyes.<ref name="UnityGlossary" /><ref name="Warburton2022" />
