In the past, I have proclaimed that the day virtual reality needs no wires will be a day of freedom. We will be free of the chains that bind us to our desks. It is my hope that the day we will be free of wires will be soon. When this day comes, we will be free of the chains that entangle our arms when we get too wild during our drunken room-scale virtual reality sword fights. We will be free of the chains that trip us when we jump for joy a bit too enthusiastically in virtual reality square dancing simulations. Finally, we will be free of the chains that entangle our arms and bind our hands when we are wackasterbating to our VR porn goddesses that live so high above us in their virtual beauty.

A Wireless 2017?
Some say this chainless, I mean wireless day, will come late in the year of our Lord 2017. We are already starting to see signs of this brave new dawn breaking. In the past few months, 3rd party adapters have been released that offer a glimpse of the wire-free future. Such adapters already offer extremely low latency video transmission that has been designed specifically for virtual reality headsets. Now, AMD (the cheap CPU masters) is making moves that may solidify a wireless virtual reality future.

Nitero?
AMD, the maker of the Radeon graphics GPUS and the Ryzen CPUs has just announced that they are purchasing a little-known company called Nitero which specializes in making a special kind of chocolate cookie and a wireless transmitter device. That said, AMD did not buy Nitero for cookies. Nitero’s wireless solutions for virtual reality headsets is what brought AMD to the corporate buyout table. Being coy, AMD is not saying how much they paid for this wireless VR/cookie company.

Mark Papermaster, AMD chief technology officer and senior vice president explained why AMD decided to jump into the new wireless VR game, “Unwieldy headset cables remain a significant barrier to drive widespread adoption of VR.” This means that AMD believes that wires themselves impede the adoption and further market spread of virtual reality hardware. Is this the case? It is hard to know for sure. Techies themselves do not mind wires and wire-nests, however, mass market consumers tend to be very unforgiving and hateful towards wire entanglements.
With the increase of consumer charging technologies (cell phones, laptops, drones) wire-nests are becoming more and more of an issue in today’s first-world. A dedicated group known as the Wire Hunters is out there fighting the good fight to bring order to this wire-mad world in a way that is slightly different than AMD (see video below).

In contrast to the Wire Hunter’s on the ground approach to combatting wires, AMD’s strategy to enter the virtual reality market and destroy wires from the inside is ingenious. Committed to solving the wire-crisis, Mark Papermaster says, “Our newly acquired wireless VR technology is focused on solving this challenge, and is another example of AMD making long-term technology investments to develop high-performance computing and graphics technologies that can create more immersive computing experiences.”

With the purchase, AMD has taken over Nitero, sucking up their staff, tech, and patents. Most importantly, AMD is getting Nitero’s anti-wire innovation which is a targeted transmission chip that beams a 60GHZ signal between a headset and computer. This beam transmission should provide a latency-free virtual reality experience.
The World Without Wires

Without wires, the virtual world could soon be much better. Virtual sword fights will be fast, fluid, and flowing affairs almost like ballets. Virtual reality fighting games could be realistic grappling brawls. Virtual reality porn experiences could be free roaming affairs that allow people to express their sexuality without tripping and becoming entangled while becoming lost in the horrors that are wire-nests. One day we will laugh and tell our grandkids how we would trip and fall because of these things called wires.
Who will save us from the wire-beast?
yes, of course, vr porn would be better without these wires. but everyone’s talking about and planning to do it. i guess the question here is who gets to master it first?
