Possible wireless Vive setup using Laptop and Portable Battery
Post Body

Has anyone attempted something like this yet, and if not are there any limitations that you can think of that would make it not-feasible (other than personal ones like how much weight you can safely have strapped to you)

I have a Sager laptop with a 980m GPU and a Skylake processor that on paper should be able to run the Vive without much issue. If I were to make a backpack style mount for the laptop, and attach it and the break-out box to a portable battery like this one http://www.amazon.com/ChargeTech-Portable-Universal-MacBooks-Motorola/dp/B0116BX968 , is there anything stopping me from having a wireless (at least from my body) VR setup?

Throw in some powered lighthouses and i could take it anywhere to play as well. Outside in the backyard at night, office room at work, gym at church, etc.
