Wireless Virtual Reality Augmentations

Unlink VR is a Wireless Solution for Wired VR devices

— February 14, 2022 — Tech
'Unlink VR' is a new metaverse-focused combination of wearable sensors and external detection systems that works wirelessly. Current virtual reality devices that use intricate features such as full-body tracking and high-resolution, high-frame-rate gaming use a multitude of wires and wired sensors. Rather than selling an entirely new headset that works wirelessly, Unlink VR is an augmentation for existing headsets that transforms them into wireless ones.

The Unlink VR package comes with three main items: a transmitter, receiver sensor, and a receiver hub. The transmitters are placed around the room. The receiver sensors are placed around the body where each virtual reality wearable is, such as the headset or gloves. Then, the sensors are compiled at the receiver hub and the data is sent to the transmitters via laser technology, which ensures low-latency transmission. Additionally, if the lasers' direct path to the receiver hub is blocked, the lasers are automatically bounced and steered to ensure that they reach the hub.
