I can easily tell there is lag/latency when moving my controllers around in a game using Air Link. It’s not bad but it’s definitely noticeable.

But if there is any lag when moving my head around, it is so tiny I can’t tell it’s there. It feels like it’s natively running on my headset.

Is it beaming the environment to the headset so I can move my head around without needing to send head tracking info to my PC? Or is the headset lag just incredible negligible, while controller tracking lag is higher?

This is something I’ve been curious about for a while.
