Old ghost t0 New ghost t0+t t0 New ghost t0 a) Old ghost position at t0, new ghost position at t0 and new ghost position at t0+t b) Dotted line shows the planned path to reach the target position and direction
Update at t0 Update at t1 a) Player model showing the timings of dead-reckoning updates at the peaks of a periodic motion
Player model update at t0 Extrapolation of player model Convergence path Correct player model path Ghost model location at t0 • b) On arrival of an update message, the ghost model plans to converge the current ghost model position with an extrapolation of the received position
c) On the next update message the ghost model is out of phase with the player model. T
t1 to Player model update at t1 Path of ghost model after update at t0 a) Player model showing the object avoiding the wall b) After the update at t1 the ghost model cannot converge
