Long range vr help

[Quinn Bromley]

OK, so I'm about to move into a new house soon and since I'm renting, I can't make any modifications to the house. I want to be able to have my gaming setup in my room like normal but have it connect to the TV into the loung. I'm currently running a pretty typical setup with an oculus quest which I use link with a bit. I want to be able to have an hdmi input and USB 3.1 in the loung that connects to my computer in my room (about 15-20 metres away. I want to say 20 to be safe. I've looked at my options and it's easily doable by buying hdmi or USB 3.0 to ether net converters which is way too expensive). What I'm wondering is if there's a DIY option or just a cheaper alternative. I don't have too much knowledge on the subject but to far all I can think of is buying 2 raspberry pi's (one for each end). Like I said I don't know in detail how this all works but I know there must be an easier and cheaper way to accomplish this. 

 

Thank you.

The Quest you could use wirelessly if you have a good WiFi AP in the living room and the PC is connected to it via Ethernet.

To get the TV working you'd have to use streaming to another computer in the living room if you don't want to buy extenders.

Not really, especially since a RasPi has no HDMI input. You'd need something that has an HDMI input and enough compute power/bandwidth to convert that to ethernet without adding too much latency. HDMI 2.0 alone has a maximum bandwidth of 18 Gbps, so 1 Gbps ethernet is not going to cut it if you want high resolution/refresh rate.
