New Open Industry Standard Introduced for Connecting Next-Generation VR Headsets to PCs, Other Devices
About VirtualLink
VirtualLink is an open industry connectivity standard for VR that was developed by a group of leading silicon, software, and headset manufacturers. VirtualLink enables next-generation VR headsets to connect with a PC or other device using a single, high-bandwidth USB Type-C connector. VirtualLink supports four HBR3 DisplayPort lanes for high-resolution displays, a USB3.1 data channel for high-resolution cameras and sensors, and up to 27 watts of power.
Certain statements in this press release including, but not limited to, statements as to: the benefits, abilities, performance, and impact of VirtualLink specification; next-generation VR headsets needing to deliver increased display resolution and incorporated high-bandwidth cameras; VirtualLink unlocking the full potential of the PC to power VR experiences; and the adoption of VirtualLink technology helping to push the industry forward into the next phase of VR are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: global economic conditions; reliance on third parties to manufacture, assemble, package, and test products; the impact of technological development and competition; development of new products and technologies or enhancements to existing product and technologies; market acceptance of products; design, manufacturing, or software defects; changes in consumer preferences or demands; changes in industry standards and interfaces; unexpected loss of performance of our products or technologies when integrated into systems. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and speak only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, the VirtualLink Consortium disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.
