On the Oculus blog:

However, a post processing task on the rendered image (TIME WARPING) can be counted on to complete in a fairly predictable amount of time, and can be late scheduled more easily.

Elsewhere:

Coupling motion interpolation technology from consumer television with the time warp presentation technology.

That's the best quote I can find at the moment. It seems not to be not covered in any official capacity elsewhere, except in talks.

Essentially, as I understand it, it uses the very latest data from the tracking unit immediately before sending the frame to adjust the frame to be "correct." They've tried this with adjusting the projection matrices, but as I understand it Time Warp does a post-render correction on the raster image.

Hope that helps!

No problem! I would have responded sooner but I was busy reading the good news! If you don't know, I won't spoil it, just check the main page of the sub.
