Any thoughts on this? Currently the occulus needs a regular AC power connection. But why is this really? Can it be easily emulated with usb?.

It... already is powered by USB...? Power adapter is 100% optional.

If you change your performance profile to High Performance, you will not be gpu or CPU throttled without the ac connection. You'll probably get 2 or so hours of gaming before it's dead.

Yeah you can avoid that in settings. My idea is for this is to get a early protable experience. Batteries can always be added. I mean look at those batteries for 1kw motors for electric bikes.

He could avoid that, unless the issue is that his battery doesn't output enough juice to power his 780m. Strap a gasoline generator to your back? 😛
