Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) is currently becoming popular because it can provide unprecedented user experience. However, the immersive VR systems existing today use a physical wire to transmit power and contents to the headset which deteriorates user experience. To resolve this problem, several efforts in development and standardization of technologies are being exerted to devise a wireless connection between a content server and a VR Head Mounted Display (HMD). Analysis of the requirements for wireless VR HMDs and the capabilities of existing wireless transmission technologies may aid in the development of related technologies and standards. In this study, the projected requirements for smooth operation of wireless VR HMDs are enumerated and the capabilities of candidate wireless transmission technologies are studied. Finally, areas which require further enhancement to deliver better quality of experience for VR users are discussed.
