Devices like the rumored Apple Glass or an Apple-designed VR headset may take an entirely wireless approach when used indoors, by using a relay dock to extend the range of communications to multiple users within a room.
One of the problems that augmented reality and virtual reality systems have at present is a need to be close to a system that is performing the bulk of processing. The mass of data from sensors on a headset has to be fed into a computing device, which then has to interpret it and apply the data to rendering a virtual scene or object, then that video data has to be passed to a display system to be seen by the user.
