title = "FSO-VR: Steerable free space optics link for virtual reality headsets",
abstract = "In near future, we expect the Virtual Reality (VR) headsets to be wireless and to be demanding data-rate up to Tbps, thus pushing RF technology to the limit. In this work, we explore the possibility of using steerable Free Space Optics (FSO) to create a wireless link between a wall-mounted static transceiver and a VR headset in motion with its user. We describe our architecture, develop a link emulator using off-the-shelf optical devices, analyze the response time of the system and its effect on tolerable motion of the VR headset. We describe an in-band feedback mechanism to track the laser beam between the transceivers in motion. We lay out additional challenges to tackle, so as to unleash the full potential of FSO communications for wearable devices like VR headset.",
