PRESS RELEASE

London – December 7th 2017 - TPCAST, the leader in wireless virtual reality (VR) technology, today announced the anticipated European launch of its Consumer Edition of the Wireless VR Adapter for the Oculus Rift. TPCAST has been the first to introduce a commercial Wireless Adapter for Virtual Reality, which preserves the video quality and application performance.
