The dk2 doesn't really have a separate box, like an OSVR or HTC Vive.

The HDMI and USB / Power cable join a big power splitter at the end, that puts in a lot of power for the display. The cables, as far as I know from my own headset, cannot be separated from the glasses. So, without that cable attached, you won't be able to do any VR.

In addition, I'm pretty sure it NEEDS that splitter that is built into the cable to power the display.

The Camera, I believe, just plugs into a separate USB port on its own. But I can check on my DK2 later today if you like
