It requires a 5G capable infrastructure to increase network capacity and decrease network congestion and latency. With big tech firms such as Google, Apple, Facebook, NVIDIA, HTC VIVE, and Microsoft heavily investing in the Metaverse, it has become a prominent subject of discussion among investors, technology enthusiasts, and end-users.

That’s thanks to three things: Latency. The company showed a rudimentary but functional VR demo using the ThermoReal dev kit with an HTC Vive. A separate ‘wearable’ accessory from ThermoReal would likely be relegated to non-consumer use-cases like training, rehabilitation, simulation, and maybe out-of-home VR attractions.”

I ended up at Valve Software running their hardware department, putting the team together that created the HTC Vive. Jeri, at Valve they did have that sort of choice point, and they chose to do Steam VR and get behind the HTC Vive. GB: Is it a tradeoff against what you’d call latency, maybe? Your project was spun out, basically.
