Abstract
System and techniques for wireless charging of a portable virtual reality (VR) host system are described herein. The present subject matter provides various examples to power a portable VR host system that allows for free movement by the user. In various embodiments the present subject matter provides connections on the footwear of the user that supply electrical power to a VR host worn by the user. In various examples, a connection technology is employed to provide connections between the user wearing the VR host system and conductive mats, plates, or flooring that are powered to provide electrical power to the VR host system via connections to the user'"'"'s apparel when standing. Other forms of connection technology may be employed, such as inductive wireless technology or radio frequency signal technology that uses wireless power coils or antennae to receive power and provide it to the VR host worn by the user.
