just get wireless usb dongles duh: https://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-USB-WIRELESS-Dongle-Black/dp/B001GV00ZM
May be more practical to get a wireless USB solution... like http://www.iogear.com/product/GUWIP204/ or http://www.amazon.com/HDE-over-Extension-Cable-Adapter/dp/B002WJ9S6Y (not wireless but can give you USB over Cat-5) or http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-USB-WIRELESS-Dongle-Black/dp/B001GV00ZM or http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Wireless-Transmitter-Receiver/dp/B0036VNZHA.
Ultimately it may be more economically feasible to get a wireless device if you will be using it for a limited applications like a native bluetooth or wireless controller in your example above.

The problem is that 20+ seconds isn't an unreasonable amount of time to wait transferring the amount of data you want to transfer. You're not going to get instantaneous results even from a camera that has FTP built.
When you take a picture with a memory card it writes to the memory card. When you tether it sends that data to the computer to be written to the hard drive.
When you want to use wireless it has to write it to the memory card then transfer that data from you card to something that can translate it into something that can be transmitted then that is shot over the air where a receiver that has to capture the data and undue what the transmit side did so it can become usable data again then written to the hard drive of the computer which then is picked up by lightroom.
I hope that makes sense...it goes more in depth then that but I'm just trying to do an ELI5 explanation..
> I'm thinking of some sort of transmitting device like a transceiver one would use with wireless strobes
The issue here is the amount of information that needs to be sent over. Your strobes fire near instant because the amount of information needed to trigger them is very minimal. In computer terms maybe a 2 or 3 bits. To illustrate that in numbers an average raw file is 25 megabytes which is about 25,000kilobytes which is about 25,000,000 bytes which is about 200,000,000 bits.
I'm a hobby photography but a professional computer nerd...also worked as a radioman in the navy! Lemme know if you have any other questions related to this. It's nice to be able to use my powers for good for once.

What you're essentially asking for is a generic wireless USB accessory. It doesn't seem these ever really took off. I'm not sure if this would work, but it would cost you as much as several controllers to try.
Redesigning the sensor might end up being the cheaper way to go, unless you're building the UAV from scratch and can make the Pi integral. Wireless USB transceivers exist, but are generally trash - for almost any application, connecting to WiFi through some other means (e.g. your Pi+a USB wireless adapter) is a far superior solution.

Has anyone considered using a laptop to power a Vive? by dkudriavtsev
I was browsing gaming laptops and I found a few laptops that are very portable and that have long battery life. That led me to thinking that you could easily purchase a battery pack like this one and plug in the Vive to that, to play VR games and not be tied to a computer.
The base stations would be attached to the laptop with wireless USB adapters like this one or this one.
This setup would not be ideal, because of battery life and USB adapter signal loss concerns, but you would have much more mobility than a standard VR setup, and you could make the play area larger without running into cord length issues.
Any thoughts?

I have looked extensively for a wireless USB solution to power and plug in a wired controller, but for some reason, there does not appear to be anything. I don't understand why there isn't a market for something like this. The few that I have found likely won't work on an Xbox due to a lack of drivers (I think).
