The VR experience combined the HTC Vive, a leading VR device, and the TE Hang Glider. TE mounted a real hang glider with its products, such as the dynamic connector, heat shrink tubing and automotive sensors (geared for harsh environments).
The HTC Vive device employed TE’s high speed input/output (HSIO) 3-in-1 high-performance multimedia connectivity cable to ensure a stable and reliable user experience. The HSIO cable, embedded with an equalizer that can amplify signals, has the ability to improve data and power transmission performance.
