LAS VEGAS — To bring the metaverse to everyday life, it’s going to require something sleeker than today’s virtual reality headsets. While the dream is for devices that resemble normal-looking glasses to power an always-on digital experience, the harsh reality is that power-hungry processors and chunky batteries require either extra bulk or compromised features.
The idea is that you could have the smartphone in your pocket — which already has a hefty battery and performant processor — powering the headset on your face, transmitting all the data across the surface of your body, and you wouldn’t feel a thing. According to Ixana, Wi-R tech is capable of pushing four compressed HD video streams simultaneously.
CoinDesk tried out the Wi-R tech at CES. We put on a pair of headphones that had a Wi-R chip, and when we moved our hand closer to a special cellphone, we could clearly hear music playing from the phone. The music stops when you move your hand away, which doesn’t seem impressive until you realize that neither the phone case nor the headphones are connected via any kind of wireless connection — the data was transmitted entirely through the electromagnetic field of the human body.
