Data takes a few seconds to transfer to the screen (& intermittently yet, not continuously). Not the best of circumstances, but hopefully technology will soon catch up.
Where is the additional latency? I have a hard time imagining that the communication latency between wireless and wired over a meter is even perceptible. Do the wireless sensors batch data, and the wireless sensors not do so? I can see the initial handshake taking some extra packets, but after that, I would imaging the communication latency to be very similar.
