High framerate video isn't necessary. The reason for the 60fps capable video card where the rift is connected is that when you move your head, you need the video to update quickly. If you had a 360 degree camera like the parent suggested, you don't need the source to be 60fps, just that when you move your head, you need the view on the rift to change at 60fps. Think of a panoramic photo. It's not even 1fps, it's 1 frame ever and it still gives you a great 3D effect. I think you'd be fine with a much lower framerate source. And that would make a wifi and a not-that-impressive internet connection fine. Edit to add: of course, with a 360 video you have much larger frames, not 1440. You could probably do with less than 360 though, since you can assume a person isn't going to be looking behind them or at the floor.
