Abstract: Systems and methods provide for removing and/or hiding the negative effects of at least some of the latency between, e.g., detection of motion of a device such as a three-dimensional (3D) pointing device and corresponding redrawing of the cursor on a display. A method for masking latency associated with displaying a cursor on a display includes: receiving data associated with motion of an input device at a first time; using the data to determine a cursor position associated with the first time; determining a predicted cursor position at a future time relative to the first time using the determined cursor position; and displaying the cursor on the display at a position based on the predicted cursor position.
