Introduction Acronym Description TPT Throughput MA-USB Media agnostic USB – WiGig USB PAL SNK Sink; receiver in A/V applications HDMI High definition multimedia interface SKU Stock keeping unit VR Virtual reality HMD Head-mounted display HID Human interface device GPU Graphics processing unit IMU Inertial measurement unit WGA-P WiGig gaming add-on HMDA HMD add-on, refering to WiGig solution for VR HMD side WGE WiGig gaming embedded, referring to the WiGig solution, embedded in VR PC laptops 1.4 VR usage model The Virtual Reality (VR) tethered system is composed of a head-mounted display (HMD) that is cable- connected to a PC or Laptop. In such system, HMD user is limited to specific movement-types and distance due to the cable connection with the PC. The VR-SNK product, together with the VR-PnP WiGig peer product (see Ref1 and Ref2), allows wireless tethering of the VR system. By communicating all video, audio and control content over a WiGig link, the HMD becomes a stand-alone component, providing freedom of movement and the best user experience. WiGig video latencies and ultra-short USB latencies, combined with superior video quality and low power consumption, allow for a wired-like gaming experience. A high-throughput USB back-channel allows for connection of state-of-the-art human interface devices (HIDs), such as motion detectors and HD cameras, without any quality degradation. Figure 1-1 presents WiGig VR usage model setup. The components at each side are:  VR-PC-Platform side, which is a client-side WiGig system, based on VR-PnP and R-FEM2 products. See more details in Table 1-1 1.  VR-HMD side, connected to HMDA (HMD add on). HMDA is an SNK-side WiGig system, based on VR-SNK and R-FEM3 products. See more details in Table 1-1 2.

WiGig Application User Manual 4 WiGig Application User Manual Note that this Chapter is only relevant if the SW was installed including Intel CU, as described in paragraph 2.2. OEM CU will have different GUI and may or may not have similar functionalities. Please refer to the OEM for instructions on its proprietary application. 4.1 Launch the Intel® Wireless VR Dashboard To invoke the Intel® Wireless VR dashboard, double-click the icon on the desktop, or search for this application under the PC programs. 4.2 CU functionalities The Intel® Wireless VR is a dedicated application that runs on the PC (WGA side) and allows the user to find, connect to, and configure an HMDA. The CU application has a menu, status bar for a general WiGig status and a notification bar for more information on the status. (See examples in below figures) LEDs on the HMDA device provide additional feedback about the HMDA status. The Function button on the HMDA device is used for controlling flows such as pairing and power down indication. A recovery button is used to restore factory FW in case of an issue in current running FW. (See 5 for more details on LEDs and Buttons) 4.2.1 First time connection Every time that the WGA is connected to the HMDA, the CU application saves the HMDA profile to be able to connect to it automatically in the following connections (see more details in 4.2.2). When connecting to an HMDA for the first time, a pairing process will be initiated during connection. Out-of-Box / No Profile flows When the CU is launched for the first time, or when no profile is saved in the CU, the connection flow will be as follows: 1. Power on HMDA, verify functional LED is ON, displaying slow blinking green light (1 blinks/sec). 2. The CU will show “Not Connected” status and a “Connect” button, as can be seen in Figure 3-2. Figure 4-1 - OOB window Intel® Wireless Gigabit (Maple Peak) User Guide March 2018 16 Intel Confidential Document Number: 537178-3.11

WiGig Application User Manual 3. Press “Connect” in order to connect to an HMDA in the PC range (as written in the notification bar). A pairing is required since no HMDA profile is saved on the WGA side. The following screen will pop-up, see figure 3-4. Figure 4-2 - Intel® Wireless VR First Time Connection 4. The HMDA LED will be fast blinking green light. Press your HMDA function button to confirm the connection. 5. Note that all HMDAs in range may blink, but only the one that its button is pressed will be connected. 6. After a successful pairing the status in the CU will be changed to Connected as in Error!

Add New Device If the CU has a saved HMDA profile it will search for it and the CU will show “Scanning” as in Figure 4-4 Intel® Wireless Gigabit (Maple Peak) March 2018 User Guide Document Number: 537178-3.11 Intel Confidential 17

WiGig Application User Manual Figure 4-4 – Scanning In case the saved HMDA is not in range, or if the user wants to connect to another HMDA, the user should press the Gear icon and select “Connect New VR Headset” (See Error! Reference source not found.). Since only one HMDA profile is saved in the WGA, this operation will delete the saved profile and search for HMDAs in range. Similarly, if an HMDA is already connected and the user wishes to connect to another HMDA, he/she should press the Gear icon and select “Connect New VR headset”. This will disconnect the current HMDA and will start a connection process. The process will proceed as described in 16 similar to first time connection. Note that the profile of the disconnected HMDA will be deleted and a new pairing will be required on next connection. Figure 4-5 - Connect New VR Headset 4.2.1.2.1 Add new device timeout If there is no HMDA in range, or no one pressed the HMDA button to connect, within a predefined time (currently defined as 2 minutes), the connection attempt will stop, the CU status will be set to “Not connected” and the text as seen in Figure 4-6 will be in the notification bar.

WiGig Application User Manual Figure 4-6 New connection timeout message 4.2.2 Automatic connections for existing profile After first connection of the WGA with an HMDA, a profile will be created for this specific HMDA and the next time the CU is opened it will search for this specific HMDA and will connect to it automatically. When launching the CU with a saved HMDA the following screen will be seen: Figure 4-7 - Scanning If the saved HMDA is in range it will connect to it automatically. This automatic connection will occur either when opening the CU (and HMDA is in range) or when the HMDA is entering the range of the WGA (and CU is open). Automatic connection in Sx When the WGA enters Sx power state while connected to the HMDA, the WiGig will be disconnected and no video will be seen. When the WGA gets back to S0 mode the connection between HMDA and WGA is restored automatically.
