AMD Aquires Wireless Virtual Reality IP from Nitero

AMD Aquires Wireless Virtual Reality IP from Nitero

AMD announced it has acquired intellectual property (IP) and key engineering talent from Nitero, a pioneer in millimeter wave solutions capable of enabling future generations of wireless Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) headsets. 

The acquisition provides AMD with a broader portfolio of IP capable of enabling VR headset and solution providers with key technology required to create more immersive computing experiences.

“Unwieldly headset cables remain a significant barrier to drive widespread adoption of VR,” said Mark Papermaster, AMD chief technology officer and senior vice president. “Our newly acquired wireless VR technology is focused on solving this challenge, and is another example of AMD making long-term technology investments to develop high-performance computing and graphics technologies that can create more immersive computing experiences.”

Nitero has designed a phased-array beamforming millimeter wave chip to address the challenges facing wireless VR and AR. Using high-performance 60 GHz wireless, this technology has the potential to enable multi-gigabit transmit performance with low latency in room-scale VR environments. The beamforming characteristics solve the requirement for line-of-sight associated with traditional high-frequency mm-wave systems, potentially eliminating wired VR headsets and enabling users to become more easily immersed in virtual and augmented worlds.

“Our world class engineering team has been focused on solving the difficult problem of building wireless VR technologies that can be integrated into next-generation headsets,” said

Nitero co-founder and CEO Pat Kelly who has joined AMD as corporate vice president, Wireless IP. “We are excited to play a role in furthering AMD’s long-term technology vision.”

Now that they have 60HGz wifi, all they need is the headset

60GHz "wifi" is capable to do 4.6Gbps = 0.575GB/s. That's not small volume of data.

There is one interesting thing about headsets. Electronic is completely stuffed into it. But what if all processing stuff was on waist/belt attached device. And headset was lightweight device with just display.
Cellphone displays do not need much electronics to show stuff, nor are they connected via dozens of wires.

I wonder where AMD gets the money to buy such a company as they're usually in the reds with quaterly numbers... I'm confused.

Maybe they know something you don't?
