Thank you for writing this it was just what I wanted :)

What is your sense of the latency guarantees/scheduling to user space graphics and input? This is an area that everything else kind of fails at. "No drawing the groundplane and every possible frame for this user you have in your VR grasp is not optional".

Is the security actually in use or just someday?

edit: security looks baked in but tbd

No idea about the latency guarantees or scheduling. I've mostly just read and summarized some of the overview docs, and there's been nothing written on scheduling or latency that I've found yet.

It looks like the isolation of different applications, and capability based security, is pretty baked in. There do seem to be some TBD parts, like right now just like on Android apps can either have access to all of /data or none of it, and fixing that is something they list that they want to do but haven't yet.
