This book provides an understanding of the impact of delay on cloud gaming Quality of Experience (QoE) and proposes techniques to compensate for this impact, leading to a better gaming experience when there are network delays. The author studies why some games in the cloud are more delay sensitive than others by identifying game characteristics influencing a user's delay perception and predicting the gaming QoE degraded by the delay. The author also investigates the impact of jitter and serial-position effects on gaming QoE and delay. Using the insight gained, the author presents delay compensation techniques that can mitigate the negative influence of delay on gaming QoE that use the game characteristics to adapt the games.

Investigates the impact of delay on cloud/live stream gaming quality of experience (QoE) Identifies the game characteristics influencing the delay sensitivity and evaluates Presents delay compensation techniques that mitigate the impact of delay and delay variation on gaming QoE
