Recently, according to Baidu VR, chip maker AMD bought Nitero, a startup company for virtual reality wireless transmission solutions. To this end, Mark Panpermaster (Mark Poppermaster), AMD’s senior vice president, stated in the acquisition that the purpose of the acquisition of Nitero was to solve the problems of the existing VR devices, such as complexity and bulkiness, so as to make the experience Experience faster, lighter VR devices.
AMD acquires wireless VR chip developer Nitero
Breaking the shackles of the line is a big trend in the future VR development. At present, HTC and Oculus are both developing their own VR wireless solutions, such as HTC Vive and transmission technology cooperation. It is the HTC Vive wireless kit. It is understood that the future AMD will also HVR Vive and Oculus Rift will provide wireless virtual reality solutions to VR manufacturers.
HTC Vive Wireless VR Solution
About Nitero, it is a startup company focused on providing wireless technology for VR headsets. Its technology is specifically designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency wireless VR and AR solutions. Nitero's chips are rarely available today. Providing 60GHz millimeter-wave radio technology is very challenging for virtual reality. When you are in the process of transmission, it is very difficult to penetrate the object itself. Usually, you need the link of the station line, and the technology of Nitero can be Effectively reduce circuit disturbances in wireless transmissions and still maintain connections at breakpoints.
In this regard, AMD also said in the acquisition: "In the face of the wireless challenges of VR and AR, Nitero has designed a phased array beamforming millimeter wave chip. With the help of 60GHz wireless technology, it can realize the bottom gigabit in the room scale, Low-delay transmission performance. The beamforming feature addresses the line-of-sight requirement associated with traditional high-frequency millimeter-waves, meaning that this technology can revolutionize VR and provide users with an immersive VR experience."
Wireless VR chip
In addition, Nitero was favored by content and game developer Valve last year, and also invested in the company and bet on wireless VR technology to make the PC VR wireless, lightweight, and simple.
AMD processor
In return, we are looking at AMD's acquisition of Nitero. We all know that AMD has always been the top level in the world of the processor business. Intel has not won the "big brother" with its biggest rival, "war" for 10 years. In the position, AMD has been slightly stabilized since the launch of the new series of Ryzen processors and Radeon 500 series graphics cards. The company’s acquisition of Nitero also saw the prospects of the wireless VR market. At the same time, AMD expanded the business line through this acquisition. At the same time, I hope that the company can go further in the field of VR.
