A talk from the Develop Track at AWE USA 2017 - the largest conference for AR+VR in Santa Clara, California May 31- June 2, 2017. John Marshall (Valens): HDBaseT: Optimizing VR Connectivity for Best Performance Virtual reality opens numerous opportunities for gaming, education, training, therapy and more. But VR without the proper infrastructure can be a source of frustration, disappointment and even health concerns. To guarantee the best user experience, VR connectivity must support the highest resolution possible with the least amount of latency. HDBaseT enables VR connectivity with a single, much nimbler and lighter, cable, for much longer distances than possible today, affording greater flexibility. HDBaseT runs on a simple Category cable, and as such, provides uncompressed transmission with near-zero latency (under 10µsec), translating into better performance and enhanced user experience. http://AugmentedWorldExpo.com
