Frames -> Glasses -> new VR headset?

PS: Whatever you call it, please Steam Controller 2, it's been too long 🥲

High Index Lenses -> Valve Index.

You might be right.

Maybe a self-hosted gaming computer rack via which one Steam Links to Steam Decks around the house, give them a lot more compute capability. :-)

Mech frame just loaded to the tits with GPUs

Steam port for IBM mainframes confirmed?!??!!!??!!?!!!??

[–] FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

I hope you are right.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm sure a new VR headset would still use the Index name. AR glasses maybe, but I doubt it.

[–] eldoom@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm personally speculating something like xr glasses with game streaming ability and the ability to connect to some kind of controller.

Agreed.

But I get a strong feeling it is going to be all-in-one like the Quest. Computer and Battery are on the headset.

Deck Verified to now extend to VR titles through this new device. Frame Verified.

I wish. I like the idea of a standalone headset but I'm not exactly thrilled to give Meta any money...

Valve have had prototype schematics leak a few times for their standalone headset. Internal development name for it is Deckard.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Hmmm. I was thinking since sort of flat screen that masquerades as a picture frame. Maybe an AIO device for game streaming.
