Hero Zone: Where Social VR Meets Real-World Revenue -
On 9 November Zero Latency said it will preview Jumanji: The Lost Levels at IAAPA Expo on Virewirx’s 60 GHz VX60 wireless system instead of Wi-Fi 6E.
In Zero Latency’s test at its Melbourne headquarters, eight players shared VX60 at once in an arena of 19 by 9 meters, about 62 by 30 feet, and each headset averaged 150 Mbps. Hunter Mayne, a VR technology specialist at Zero Latency, said the system “performed strongly in our testing, including in a deliberately challenging configuration.” The access points sat outside the layout Virewirx recommends for a production venue.
Virewirx, founded in San Diego by former Qualcomm executives, builds VX60 from several coordinated 60 GHz access points. They schedule traffic between headsets and reuse the same frequencies in different parts of an arena.
“VX60 was built to manage multiple moving devices, high data rates, and dense deployments with reliable connectivity,” said Jason Fiber, Virewirx’s CEO. The VR Collective covered Virewirx’s portable VX60 system for multiplayer free-roam in May 2025.
Zero Latency, which said it operates more than 150 venues in over 30 countries, connects the headsets on its Gen 3 platform over Wi-Fi 6E. It said it is interested in building VX60 into that platform.
Operators can see VX60 at Zero Latency’s IAAPA Expo booth at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, 16 to 20 November, where the previews of Jumanji: The Lost Levels, made with Sony Pictures, run on it.
Zero Latency is a founding member of LEXRA, the trade association for location-based XR. Virewirx is also a member, and Fiber was elected LEXRA’s secretary and treasurer in November 2025. LEXRA’s executive director, Bob Cooney, publishes The VR Collective.
For operators running eight-player free-roam arenas, the Melbourne test gives a per-headset figure to set against their own Wi-Fi 6E networks. For suppliers of headsets and venue networks, Zero Latency, with more than 150 venues, has said it is interested in a second wireless system beside Wi-Fi 6E.
What is Virewirx VX60?
VX60 is a wireless system for VR venues, made by Virewirx in San Diego, that uses coordinated 60 GHz access points instead of Wi-Fi.
How did VX60 perform in Zero Latency’s test?
Eight players used it at once in an arena of about 62 by 30 feet, and each headset averaged 150 Mbps, according to Zero Latency and Virewirx.
Does Zero Latency use Wi-Fi today?
Yes. Its Gen 3 platform runs on Wi-Fi 6E. The IAAPA Expo previews of Jumanji: The Lost Levels will run on VX60 instead.
Where can operators see wireless free-roam VR on VX60?
At Zero Latency’s booth at IAAPA Expo in Orlando, 16 to 20 November 2026.
