Oculus - Any plans to offer Virtual Link for Rift? Virtual Link Works!

Anonymous

It would be nice now that GPU's are out with Virtual Link C- ports if we had a Virtual Link cable for our headsets.
Was wondering if Oculus might offer a Virtual Link cable at some point for the Rift?
Or is this something that would just need to be built into the headset for the next gen product?

Found this one, seems to have enough USB 3 ports for two sensors and hdmi usb.
Only question is would it work...

And one more.
Maybe I will order this one from Amazon just to give it a try, I am a Prime Member and should get it quickly.
It has enough 3.0 ports for two sensors and hmd usb.

Unless someone sees something obvious as to why it would not work?

I would look for one that has 4K UHD 3840×2160 at 60Hz rather than 4K UHD 3840×2160 at 30Hz

It means that the HDMI port has more bandwidth, and the Rift needs bandwidth 🙂
Core i7-7700k @ 4.9 Ghz | 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance @ 3000Mhz | 2x 1TB Samsung Evo | 2x 4GB WD Black
ASUS MAXIMUS IX HERO | MSI AERO GTX 1080 OC @ 2000Mhz | Corsair Carbide Series 400C White (RGB FTW!) 

Be kind to one another 🙂

Everything I seem to be finding lists as 4k @30hz, but some list 1920x1080 @ 60 hz also...

Like this one, kinda pricey but does have 3 USB 3.0 ports.

I wouldn't waste my money on this. Why a VGA port and not a DVi port or DP? Who uses VGA these days?

Maybe the MacBook equivalent would work ok ???? Link = https://m-uk.gearbest.com/usb-gadgets/pp_009577632604.html?wid=1433363&currency=GBP&vip=14752948&gclid=CjwKCAjwmdDeBRA8EiwAXlarFhV94Q6GzwN15UTI0rkXroTHV_LYZ1bKqpkyX1ehk-S2RI2asbmNrBoCL_4QAvD_BwE
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

I am just not able to find 60hz at 4k.
Maybe I will hold off a bit till I hear some concrete reports from others.
Having no issue with my current setup, just thought it would be cool to have everything plugged into that C-port adapter.
