MartinMarty Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Check out the one called TPcast. First shipments were supposed to go out any day now, but only in China and I don't know whether they did. There are supposed to be other units, too, but this one is the one I like. You still have to carry a battery in your pocket. One article I read thought these might improve substantially in a short time, so I may wait a year or two. By then it will probably be time for a whole new Vive.

Malov Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I read yesterday that shipments won't be available in the US until sometime in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristari Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Is this the only option? Are HTC not working on one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinMarty Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 No. There are several and I saw a post elsewhere that implied HTC was working on one of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emexrulsier Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Curious to see how this turns out. Obviosuly you are going to need a battery but still need to keep weight down at the same time as providing ample play time (ie id like atleast 5 hrs solid). So from the battery you would need to power the screens, ir leds, mic, and the gigabit wirelesss for 5 hours. Based on mobile phone usage this takes us maybe to the 6000mAh or greater. On top of that I am hoping the final design allows quick changs to wired if you find power is low mid game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wOOOOt Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 +7ms delay sounds like too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 They're setting 7ms as the maximum latency for their solution under real world conditions. It will in all likelihood be faster, especially under ideal conditions. The TPCast devs set a similar goal for latency and their solution actually proved to have a lower latency than they initially advertised. By saying <7ms, Intel has set a realistic goal that they can then try to push further without over promising on a technology that is still very much in development.
