First, Let’s talk about what is AR/VR？
What Is Virtual Reality(VR)? It is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds. By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial world. The only limits to near-real VR experiences are the availability of content and cheap computing power.
What Is Augmented Reality (AR)? It is the integration of digital information with the user’s environment in real time. Unlike virtual reality, which creates a totally artificial environment, augmented reality uses the existing environment and overlays new information on top of it.
Before, virtual reality headsets connect to Windows PCs through a combination of HDMI and USB cabling, now with a new agreement to use a single standard USB-C cable.
What Is USB-C?
USB-C, also known as Type-C, is the latest connector developed by the USB Implementers’ Forum (USB-IF), a group of industry leaders within the consumer electronics community, such as Apple, Intel and Dell. As many of the world’s most recognized manufacturers are supporting this new technology, it is likely to be widely adopted. With such support, USB-C will gradually replace previous USB types, including USB-A, USB-B and USB Mini-B. Plus, as future devices are equipped with the new USB-C port, which is smaller than its predecessors, it’s likely these devices will also be thinner and lighter than ever before.
