For reference, standard HTC Vive headsets display at 2160x1200. Where Index starts to differ is in its display's capabilities thanks to the high resolution of 2880x1600 (1440x1600 per eye), it delivers a crisp image that makes a noticeable difference for graphical fidelity. You'll go through the same setup process for calibrating height and establishing your boundaries for a room-scale experience even your in-VR home menu is the same. Getting Index to run is simple it essentially functions like an HTC Vive since the headset interfaces similarly with the Steam VR ecosystem. Index doesn't differ much when it comes to traditional PC-based VR setups since you still need the proper space to prop up sensors, outlets to power up those sensors, and your PC nearby since you have a cable running from the headset to your PC.

You can still use the original 1.0 base stations if you have them, and opt for the headset alone ($500) or the headset and controller bundle ($750).

The compression ratio can be adaptively adjusted to suit changing networkĬonditions, and subframe streaming allows the frame to be compressed and sent before the next frame is rendered.In the full Index package, which goes for $1000 USD, you get the headset with integrated audio, a pair of Index controllers (colloquially known as the Knuckles controllers), two 2.0 base station sensors, and all the necessary wires and mounts for setup. Nofio is built on the worlds first network aware CODEC technology from IMRnext. The wireless connection is completely standalone, without the need for additional wireless routers which means video quality can be maintained without affecting existing network traffic. The processing is performed completely onboard which means your PC resources are 100% dedicated to gameplay with no impact on gaming performance. The Nofio adapter integrates directly with SteamVR, apart from a simple USB driver there is no custom software which needs to be run, or added hardware installed to your PC. Simply connect the base transmitter to your PC (DisplayPort, USB and Power), attach the receiver to your headset and connect the supplied short Oculink cable and you are good to go.

With a dedicated wireless transmitter and receiver, the conversion to wireless is easy, non-destructive and removeable. It comes with everything you need to convert your exising Valve Index to a truly wireless VR Headset. Nofio wireless adapter for Valve Index is built for serious gamers.
