Oculus Quest Leverages Fully Integrated SkyOne®
Connectivity Solution
Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS), an innovator of high
performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and
things, today announced that its highly integrated SkyOne® solution
for WiFi is enabling Facebook’s Oculus Quest. Quest is the
industry’s first all-in-one virtual reality (VR) gaming platform
allowing players to wirelessly connect to the cloud for a seamless
and immersive experience.
Oculus has become a pioneer in VR gaming with its next
generation headset which features a camera-based positional
tracking system and does not require a wired connection to a PC or
phone to operate. By leveraging Skyworks’ innovative capabilities,
the device delivers real-time wireless connectivity and offers
users untethered six degrees of freedom ─ or the ability to move in
any direction and walk through virtual space just as they would in
the physical world.
“Skyworks is proud to be at the forefront of wireless
technologies, partnering with industry leaders to bring
breakthrough applications to market,” said Carlos Bori, senior vice
president of sales and marketing for Skyworks. “With our advanced
technology portfolio and deep systems expertise we are powering an
increasingly diverse array of emerging, high-growth segments across
the IoT ecosystem, redefining user experiences and changing the way
the world communicates.”
According to a March 2019 research report from IDC, worldwide
shipments of augmented and virtual reality headsets are forecast to
reach 8.9 million units in 2019, up 54 percent from the prior year.
Fueled in large part by new devices like the Oculus Quest, units
are expected to reach nearly 69 million by 2023, representing a
five-year compounded annual growth rate of 67 percent.
