TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition provides the most cost-effective multi-user wireless VR solution for enterprises and large-scale immersive entertainment.
On January 8, 2019, TPCAST, a leader in virtual reality (VR) wireless solutions, launched the TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition at CES in Las Vegas. This innovative solution is designed for enterprise multi-user VR applications and location-based entertainment (LBE). It aims to transmit PC-rendered VR content wirelessly via Wi-Fi to standalone VR headsets such as Oculus Go. TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition is a comprehensive LAN-based wireless VR solution supporting multiple users. It maintains the highest image quality and minimal latency to deliver an optimal user experience. The solution leverages TPCAST’s real-time codec technology (RTCodec and RTCIP), utilizing existing PCs and GPUs for rendering and encoding. This solution is suitable for industries including real estate, home renovation/interior design, and education. Future compatibility with Oculus Quest will enable large-scale, multi-user, backpack-free free-roaming solutions. TPCAST Air eliminates the need for backpack computers in immersive entertainment and VR, reducing hardware costs and operational investments. VR distributors and integration service providers are welcome to integrate TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition into their systems. Key advantages of TPCAST Air solution: 1. Reduces enterprise VR equipment acquisition costs by using affordable standalone VR headsets instead of expensive PC VR headsets or bulky backpack computers. 2. Simplifies installation with easy software setup, avoiding complex hardware installations and cable management, thereby lowering maintenance costs.Users can simply wear a lightweight all-in-one VR headset, eliminating the need for bulky, low-battery-life backpack computers.
Reduced VR Content Development Costs: TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition fully leverages the rendering capabilities of engines like Unreal and Unity. Developers no longer need to compromise visual quality by “optimizing” PC VR content to fit the lower rendering power of all-in-one VR headsets. Superior Graphics Quality: By harnessing the top-tier graphical performance of PCs, TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition delivers more detailed and realistic visuals. It combines the best of both worlds: high-end CPUs and GPUs from powerful PCs, with the wireless, lightweight, and mobile advantages of all-in-one VR headsets. Easy PC VR Content Adaptation: Content running on SteamVR can seamlessly operate on the TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition system. Enterprise-Grade Complete Solution: TPCAST Air Enterprise Edition includes an enterprise VR management suite, allowing system administrators to simplify multi-user management and optimize Wi-Fi channels. It has undergone rigorous quality assurance and extensive internal testing to provide optimized, stable, and reliable wireless VR experiences for enterprises. Liu Shuyao, CEO of TPCAST, stated: “TPCAST Air realizes our previously proposed TPCAST 2.0 vision—achieving wireless VR transmission over short, medium, and long distances. The Enterprise Edition integrates the lightness of all-in-one headsets with the robust performance of desktop-grade dedicated graphics, breaking the paradox that lightweight mobility and high-performance rendering cannot coexist.” About TPCAST: TPCAST is a leader in wireless virtual reality solutions and the first company globally to launch a commercial wireless kit. The company’s vision is to untether the VR world from cables, enabling wireless VR/AR/MR headsets. Its patented technology allows efficient bidirectional communication between PCs and VR headsets with near-zero latency. TPCAST’s mission is to collaborate with VR industry partners, including headset manufacturers, game developers, content providers, chip makers, and key VR technology providers, to deliver freer, more immersive, and more stunning wireless VR experiences for consumers and enterprises.
