The Alienware VR backpack prototype (pictures)

This Alienware backpack is intended to show how one could carry a VR-ready PC around for a more immersive experience. Read more news from E3 2016 here.

This reference design is fairly thin and is built around AMD's new generation of RX-series graphics cards.

It has the HDMI output and USB 3.0 inputs required of both the Vive and Oculus Rift.

Like the similar HP prototype, this backpack requires a rather hefty battery, here housed in two compartments hanging from the belt loop.

Since it's an Alienware, it has to have a glowing alien head, of course.

While not even close to final hardware, this prototype was surprisingly slim.

It has a carry handle on top, but keep in mind this is a reference design. It's intended to show off something that could someday be an actual product, but it's far off from being made available.
