Update: HTC addressed skepticismsurrounding the accessory’s ability to stream VR wirelessly with little latency.

The mystery behind Vive X company TPCAST’s wireless upgrade kit for the HTC Vive continues to deepen. Previously, a translation of the Chinese group’s site suggested that its solution for tetherless PC-based VR offered at best 15ms of latency, which caused concern for some. Now a new page suggests there’s been a drastic improvement.

This new page, seemingly added over the weekend, states that the wireless upgrade adds less than 2ms of latency showing images in 2K at 90fps. It also notes the product is designed “specifically for Vive”, whereas the previous page noted that its tech could be adapted to suit any VR headset. Some new concept images of the kit have surfaced too, which we’ve included in this post.

 

This is looking promising

Finally a we can VR freely without tripping on those wires until the battery dies out which I don't know which is worse: fall on your face and have the falling VR experience from tripping or get total blackout in a helmet

This is looking a bit sketchy so far. Only HTC China has commented on it, not the main company. And the China-only preorder when practically no info was available...

 

Hope I'm wrong to worry.
