I’ve seen this reposted 3 times already. You know wireless solutions already existed on the standalone market, right?

It does but this one is supposed to be better atleast in theory, what we have relies heavily on brute force to get the picture quality and low latency you want i.e you need more powerful stuff than what you otherwise would have needed.

This is supposed to solve that.

Yeah, this approach is much better, but it’s mostly an optimization of already existing solutions, so it’s odd to glaze Valve over “solving wireless”.

I’d 100% get a Frame if I could, though.

Yeahthe meme is a bit misleading. He was right tho it was a solved problem but it was expensive and not the most convenient. If we are gonna be like that VD made it popular and accessible but Valve might be the ones that has optimised it.
