They say theft only happens 0.02% of the time. But according to the article, they consider it "voluntary parting" instead of theft when someone doesn't give back a rental camera. It's a sneaky move on their part.

Does the technology exist to wirelessly stream video from a PC to a (hypothetical) VR headset at the resolution and framerate of the regular Rift/Vive with low latency? That's what I really want.
