In examination to the solutions disposable connected the market, the caller wireless XTAL targets high-end customers, who are incapable to tally their demanding applications from mobile cores and request afloat performing computers to cipher VR content.

“As a supplier to the defence industry, we powerfully judge that the wireless XTAL volition beryllium the champion prime for specified usage cases arsenic instrumentality and craft maintenance, rescue oregon firefighting operations arsenic good arsenic peculiar forces training. Everywhere, wherever the full immersion, freedom, and precocious performance, is simply a must,” said Vrgineers CEO Marek Polcak.

Vrgineers XTAL should natively tally 4K solution per eye, which, Vrgineers said, requires a precise important bitrate.
