| page | Differences Between Wired and Wireless setups | /Wired-VS-Wireless-Setups/ | 1 | How to build |
This page will compare the differences between a wireless setup verses a wired one.
{% include custom/alerts/Note.html content="Things may change so this is only true with the current hardware as of 6/20/22." %}
Wired:
Pros:
-
Plug and play, no firmware or wifi router needed
-
Lowest latency {% include custom/alerts/Note.html content="Our latency with wireless setups is pretty low, (30-60ms) you will not be able to see a difference in social VR applications. This would only become a noticable change if we ever get DFR working." %}
-
Higher resolution {% include custom/alerts/Note.html content="Higher resolution does not result in a measurable tracking quality change although it can help." %}
Cons:
-
More expensive at around twice the cost of wireless
-
Requires 2 usb ports and usb bandwith, wireless uses 1 port for only power.
-
Camera disassembly is required to remove the IR filter
Wireless
Pros:
-
Cheapest
-
Wireless
-
Only requires 1 usb for power
-
Cameras do not need to be disassembled (for 160 fov)
Cons:
-
Requires a WiFi network on 2.4GHz
-
Flashing firmware is needed
-
Higer latency {% include custom/alerts/Note.html content="Our latency with wireless setups is pretty low, (30-60ms) you will not be able to see a difference in social VR applications. This would only become a noticable change if we ever get DFR working." %}
