Acronym Description

TPT Throughput MA-USB Media agnostic USB – WiGig USB PAL SNK Sink; receiver in A/V applications HDMI High definition multimedia interface SKU Stock keeping unit VR Virtual reality HMD Head-mounted display HID Human interface device GPU Graphics processing unit IMU Inertial measurement unit WGA-P WiGig gaming add-on HMDA HMD add-on, refering to WiGig solution for VR HMD side WGE WiGig gaming embedded, referring to the WiGig solution, embedded in VR PC laptops

1.4 VR usage model

The Virtual Reality (VR) tethered system is composed of a head-mounted display (HMD) that is cableconnected to a PC or Laptop. In such system, HMD user is limited to specific movement-types and distance due to the cable connection with the PC.

The VR-SNK product, together with the VR-PnP WiGig peer product (see Ref1 and Ref2), allows wireless tethering of the VR system. By communicating all video, audio and control content over a WiGig link, the HMD becomes a stand-alone component, providing freedom of movement and the best user experience. WiGig video latencies and ultra-short USB latencies, combined with superior video quality and low power consumption, allow for a wired-like gaming experi ence. A high-throughput USB back-channel allows for connection of state-of-the-art human interface devices (HIDs), such as motion detectors and HD cameras, without any quality degradation.

Figure 1-1 presents WiGig VR usage model setup. The components at each side are:

 VR-PC-Platform side, which is a client-side WiGig system, based on VR-PnP and R-FEM2

products. See more details in Table 1-1 1.

 VR-HMD side, connected to HMDA (HMD add on). HMDA is an SNK-side WiGig system, based

on VR-SNK and R-FEM3 products. See more details in Table 1-1 2.

HW Setup

2 HW Setup

2.1 WGA

WGA is WIGig Gaming add-on, installed on the PC side. WiGig application is installed on the PC to control the connection with the HMDA side. See 3 for more details.

2.1.1 WGA components

The WGA system includes the following components (see Figure 2-1):

 VR PC desktop platform – a VR-compatible platform  PCIe card (with PnP module soldered-down)  Antenna box – a standalone box connected over a ~2m coax cable to an SMA connector

exposed by PCIe-WGA’s external panel

Figure 2-1 – WGA components

2.1.2 WGA assembly

1. Open the PC cover and insert the WGA to one of the free PCIe slots. Close the PC cover.

2. Connect the antenna box to the SMA connector on the external panel

3. Position the PC in a clear gaming area of up to 7x7m, without line-of-sight obstacles

4. Position the Antenna box at a height of 0.75-1.25m , directed towards center of the room

5. You can check the device manager for “Network Controller” with the Hardware ID as in Figure 2-2, to make sure card is inserted correctly. (Note that after SW installation you should see WiGig driver, see Figure 3-1)
