A Bulgarian company called Quark VR just announced
that it’s working with Valve to create an HTC Vive that streams over
Wi-Fi. Given that wireless connections are often unreliable and slower,
Quark relies on a special pocket-sized Wi-Fi transmitter that would help
stream VR footage. The transmitter communicates between the headset and
the PC, but isn't totally wire-free; there would still be a wire
running from your pocket to the headset. Still, there wouldn’t be any
cables around your feet or computer.
Quark says it struggled to
maintain a strong enough connection to prevent lag, but that it’s
"getting extremely close" to being able to show off a prototype. One
wire’s not so bad, right?
