HTC Vive & HP Z PC Wireless

Hi all,

Would really appreciate some input on this.

Basically we have a HTC Vive, and a HP Z docking PC with the feature of using the PC on a Backpack.

We are hoping to have the PC in the backpack whilst using the HTC Vive. Can anyone tell me how we transmit the signal to a TV whilst using the Vive and PC on the backpack? Possibly a HDMI splitter, one port for the Vive to go into, and for the for transmitter to the TV? Which can handle the performance side of things too.

I know there is an official Vive Wireless you can buy but wanted to know if there's anything a bit cheaper.

Just to note. I tried a Microsoft Wireless Adapter but it was lagging etc on the vive. I assume being stuck at 30hz?

Much appreciated

Geez how much are these !!! Paying a massive premium just for a decent wireless solution. Is 10x the cost of a Quest and Virtual Desktop really worth it ? Suppose if you have the money. For that price I would want a full on sensory VR suit with it !

Surely HP have come up with a way to connect them to a monitor or TV whilst wearing it as a backpack ?

Lol thanks for the reply. I'm just the messenger for the people that already have the equipment. It just seems difficult to find a solution for what they need so was wondering if there was anything out there other than the one that's £299 which also needs a PCie slot. Which the HP Z doesn't have.

Many thanks

Don's see the appeal of paying huge upfront cost for VR unless they can fix the headaches and make the damn headsets more comfortable

The HTC wireless needs to plug into a pcie lane so it won't work on a laptop.

Try the TPCast wireless which is cheaper and doesn't need a pcie lane.

or just use a wireless TV sender
