PALO ALTO, Calif. & BARCELONA, Spain--()--DisplayLink®, the leading provider of USB graphics technology, today launched their new DisplayLink XR branding and reference designs for 60GHz ultra low-latency wireless virtual reality headset solutions at Mobile World Barcelona, 2017.

These solutions leverage silicon with performance to scale over the next two VR headset resolution nodes with immediate availability.

“It felt like the world came to see us at CES and the feedback was electric,” said John Cummins, SVP Sales and Marketing. “Shortly after our first public demo a month ago, we’re proud to now launch reference designs for wireless VR at Mobile World Congress. These implementations include DisplayLink silicon, software, and 60GHz wireless enabling VR Headset OEMs to deliver solutions that fulfill the promise of totally immersive cable-free VR for commercial and gaming applications.”

This is a very exciting time for us and the industry, and I’m confident the forthcoming solutions from DisplayLink can rapidly propel wireless VR adoption.”
