VirtualLink standard for virtual reality headsets is officially dead
In 2018, AMD, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Oculus, Valve, and HTC formed the VirtualLink (VL) consortium. Its purpose was to promote the use of an alternate mode of operation for the USB Type-C connector on a graphics card. It allowed VR headsets to be connected to a computer using a single USB Type-C cable. The first solution to use this connector were GeForce RTX 20 series gaming graphics cards based on the Turing architecture.
