DenKuzn Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hi, I dont have at now a HTC Vive. But I want to have that. And I need to know: How can I create connection with controllers by WiFi or Bluetooth? Its function is available on controllers? Or I need to find some another ways to create that wireless connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockjaw Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 The controllers communicate with the headset via a propietary protocol engineered by Valve. Are you looking to override that and connect via wifi or Bluetooth instead? As far as I know, it's not possible. The controllers actually sync with the HMD, which itself is connected to your PC directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenKuzn Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Ow. Ok. May be exist some USB-adapters, how works via wireless? Pointer with some power adapter on controller, and reciver in PC?

Rockjaw Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It would probably help if we knew what you were trying to do with your Vive setup, here. :) Apart from the headset/HMD cable, there aren't many cables connecting to the Vive...

DenKuzn Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Okey. I was wrong =) I didnt understand that box-controllers works without any connections with PC =) Thx =) Just had to read the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagiva851 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Stephen, Does the Base Station also connect to the HMD using the Valve propietary protocol? Or, does it connect to the computer via Bluetooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockjaw Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 As I understand it, , the light houses / base stations don't connect to your PC at all. They're essentially 'dumb' in that they project a field which registers against the sensors in the HMD, which connects (physically) to the PC via your 3-in-1 cable, and is updating your position in real time. The controllers are also connecting to the HMD via the protocol mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
