I don’t normally write about improvements in technology. I would rather focus on Story and experience related topics. However this is groundbreaking and will have a significant impact on the HTC Vive.
A Chinese company called TPCast has created a device add-on for the HTC Vive making it wireless. While some folks may balk at the $220 price tag on top of the $800 they already plunked down for the Vive, this may just be one of the key components needed to help get the VR Cade concept of the ground This is especially true with iMyth.

Regretfully this is longer than the actual cable is able to reach. We were planning to look into expanding the cable. However, for the new year, this wireless solution will be much better. Since the cable would have been very expensive, this more expensive alternative will be a welcome addition to the iMyth arsenal.
Folks may not want to pay extra to have this wireless luxury at home. However, peripherals and accessories such as this may be just the hook to entice people to get out of their homes and have an iMyth experience!
