Breakout box for all sensors would be such a amazing thing

I'd love to see some sort of break out box for the Rift able to plug in 3-4 sensors too. No more hassle with USB host controllers, USB bandwith etc + it would free up a lot of USB port for computer (even better with a laptop) 🙂

If the breakout box also had a CPU for processing the sensor data and just send the end result, it'd also save some processing power.

Easier for everyone to understand, less problems balancing usb signals. Just plug and play.

@TwoHedWlf not for eliminating cables at all, but providing a stable platform where power and data bottlenecks wont occur. Using a cheap atom processor. I cant see it costing more than that 4x pcie usb 3.0 card.
Also doubles as a safety quick release instead of pulling the cable tension directly against the I/O.
