Description: The VIVE Wireless Adapter, powered by Intel® WiGig, offers a near-zero latency VR experience that’s fast, responsive and offers maximum performance. Build worlds, tear them down, venture into the unknown—all without skipping a beat. Plus, it’s so lightweight, you’ll barely notice it’s there. Easy to setup, the VIVE Wireless Adapter helps you get the most out of SteamVR’s room-scale tracking technology. Coupled with a powerful, easy-swap battery, you can explore the full virtual range of your VIVE or VIVE Pro for up to 2.5 hours.
Review: You might think being able to use your HTC Vive wirelessly would be the best thing in the world! Sadly the truth is it costs far too much and isn’t really that good at all. Only 2.5 hours from a battery that has to attach to your waist? They could have easily made it 10 hours or even more! If money is no object to you then maybe you will enjoy this, but for most people, the cost of VR is still too high and this dream add-on is just another thing to bump the price up for those looking for the perfect VR experience.
