Systems and methods for improving image tracking based on touch events

A system comprising:

• a touch screen;
• a display, the display having a display refresh rate;
• one or more processors in communication with the touch screen and the display;
• and
• at least one memory in communication with the one or more processors and configured for storing data and instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• detect one or more touch events from the touch screen, each touch event having a touch event position;
• generate a synthetic touch event position based on the one or more touch event positions, the synthetic touch event position calculated to coincide in time with a predicted time, the predicted time being within an offset relative to a display refresh time corresponding to the display refresh rate;
• and
• output data based at least in part one or more of the synthetic touch event position or a touch event position associated with the one or more touch events.

A computer-readable medium that stores instructions that, when executed by at least one processor in a system, cause the system to perform a method for outputting an image for presentation using an electronic device, the electronic device having a display refresh rate, the method comprising:

• detecting, by the electronic device, one or more touch events received via a touch sensitive surface screen associated with the electronic device, each touch event having a touch event position;
• generating, by the electronic device, a synthetic touch event position based on the one or more touch event positions, the synthetic touch event position calculated to coincide in time with a predicted time, the predicted time being within an offset relative to a display refresh time corresponding to the display refresh rate;
• and
• outputting data based at least in part on one or more of the synthetic touch event position or a touch event position associated with the one or more touch events.
