Run Wireless Kit Connection Assistant This department needs to fill in the wifi password and SSID of the power box, SSID and password on the surface of the power box. Very convenient and wait about 3 minutes, the program is automatically loaded Here is the official installation video experience feelings The basic use of wireless is the same as the use of wired ones. No significant delay or dizziness is felt. There is no sense of restraint when moving and using various strange movements. The sense of immersion is greatly enhanced. However, the biggest bottleneck of wireless is charging Po. It takes a long time to play for a while. Because I can't find the charger, I use the power supply of the HTC Vive Locator to charge slowly. There is also the use of wireless kits that cannot use the VIVE's own microphone, but this small problem is not important in most scenarios. to sum up The installation of TPCAST ​​is not that simple. I did not watch video tutorials. The installation instructions of the product alone caused me to encounter a lot of pits during the installation process. The TPCAST ​​Wireless Kit's match with the HTC Vive is undoubtedly greatly enhances the VR experience. In the past, the HTC Vive's long and thick cable was very much inconvenient. When it was put into VR, it would increase the burden on the head and it was easy to get to the feet. Therefore, once I used TPCAST, I would never use a cable to connect the helmet.
