The First Look at the New Oculus VR Prototype

Any word on whether they've managed to remove the cable between the headset and the base, or if that's possible/planned? Would wireless make the latency issue too problematic? Looks like it's still there in the picture and it can be a bit annoying in practice.

(I have a Rift dev kit lying idle in South Australia if anyone is keen to try it out or buy it cheap. It's very interesting but I'm not a game developer so not in a position to do more than muck around with demos!)

You can use an Asus WAVI to eliminate the wires between your PC and the Rift. It does both HDMI (1080p) and USB with very low latency.

If it's possible, then hopefully they can somehow include it in a future release of the device.
