I've always wanted to look like an awkward, goofy Warframe.

Does the Vive have an interface for accessories?

There's no interface for accessories yet. I heard they're putting a USB port in the next revision. In the picture you can see an extra cord running along with the standard vive cables, so that must be how they're doing it.

I own a Vive, it does have an expansion interface. The HMD have 3 input ports and 1 output USB port.

These ports are hidden within the small top cavity where all the cables goes in, currently the 3 HMD input cables are USB, Power and HDMI.

I think the HTC/Valve probably planned this all along for wireless adapter upgrade next year.
