@vk2zay So does the lighthouse not need a data connection? Is it just powered?
A Lighthouse base station will run for more than a day from this (~$50 off amazon) device charger battery pack.pic.twitter.com/dwaPpEhBZR

@RedOfPaw Yep, that is how it can scale to unlimited receivers in the same service volume. -

@ID_R_McGregor@RedOfPaw I took one outside yesterday because it was a nice sunny day for once. Might do it again today, clear blue sky! -
@vk2zay@ID_R_McGregor@RedOfPaw now you're just taunting us. The photocells have IR filters and Vive works outside ?!?!?!?! -
@BSanbizzle@ID_R_McGregor@RedOfPaw its complicated... The version I tested has unfiltered sensors, eventually they will be IR-only... -
@vk2zay@BSanbizzle@ID_R_McGregor Interesting... well, I shall look forward to testing whatever version is available I am sure :D

@engineeringalex just need an ALICE frame to backpack a real gaming PC, a couple of kW/hr of lithium and a suitable switcher.
