Did Ready Player One get you all fired up for immersive virtual reality (VR), then you realised it’s not quite at Oasis levels just yet? Well some of the tech in the film wasn’t so futuristic with Infinadeck Omnidirectional VR treadmill making an appearance. Today, Infinadeck has announced a new partnership with wireless VR specialists TPCAST, allowing users to take a stroll through vast, immersive new worlds untethered.
TPCAST was the first company to offer a wireless solution for VR headsets, initially for HTC Vive and then Oculus Rift. Supporting 2K video transmission at 90FPS with sub 2ms latency, the wireless adapter helps preserve the video quality and application performance for a smooth experience with a battery that can last for up to 6 hours of operation.
