Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. An enhanced reality headset, comprising:
a hub comprising:
an upstream port to:
selectively transmit universal serial bus (USB) 2 traffic directly to a host computing device; and
transmit USB 3 traffic directly to the host computing device;

a first downstream port to receive traffic from a component of the enhanced reality headset;
a second downstream port to receive, and transmit to the upstream port, converted USB 3 traffic;

a microcontroller to detect a communication protocol between the host computing device and the enhanced reality headset;
a switch to:
when a first communication protocol is detected, route traffic directly to the host computing device through the upstream port; and
when a second communication protocol is detected,
receive the USB 2 traffic to re-route the USB 2 traffic;
re-route the USB 2 traffic from the component to the second downstream port;
receive the USB 3 traffic converted from the USB 2 traffic; and

a translator to, during re-routing of the USB 2 traffic, convert the USB 2 traffic to USB 3 traffic.
