&gt;and an Oculus Rift.<p>Well, its a telepresence robot, which means it will be at arbitrary locations doing its job. How many places have the type of reliable low-latency, high-bandwidth, low packet loss, etc wifi network to give a reliable Rift experience? I mean, we can barely do this with the powerhouse of high-end video cards via hdmi. How can we transmit a high quality 1440p per eye at 60fps over the common internet? Maybe 25mbps per eye with a lot of compression, so a good 55mbps with overhead? Note, this is live video so no buffering past a few dozen milliseconds. We can&#x27;t without some really dedicated connections and a wifi client&gt;AP relationship with little to no interference.  You&#x27;re not getting this in your average office or other common telepresence locales. You sure as hell aren&#x27;t getting it over 3G&#x2F;4G.<p>I don&#x27;t think people appreciate how exotic HMD&#x27;s like the rift are. We can&#x27;t just plug them in anywhere. For the 3D effect to &quot;work&quot; you need high resolutions and high framerates. If you can&#x27;t get that, then a normal screen should be used because its a waste of resources and a waste of time strapping that thing to your face.
