So Valve finally announced the Steam Frame. After so much hype online and speculation, people are grappling with what it is vs their expectations. All which leads me to the question:

If you are a VR-head, what do you think are the killer features of VR that will be available on this headset day 1? What do you think is worth doing daily on a device like this?

Not a sceptic, but I would like to know the selling points of why VR in 2025. #vr #technology #ar #headset

Product picture of the Steam Frame, Valve's new VR gaming headset.

Valve (Steam, Half-Life, Portal, Counter-Strike...) vie Linux-pelaamisen uusiin ulottuvuuksiin - kolme uutta laitetta. Voimanlähteenä Steam Deckistäkin tuttu SteamOS.

◉ Steam Controller (peliohjain) 🎮
◉ Steam Machine (Peli-konsoli / PC) ◼️
◉ Steam Frame (VR) 🕶️

I'd love to chat with someone who's been following the #VR space for the last couple years about the Steam Frame. Specifically the implications it might have for Linux VR support going forward. (Not to mention what it could do for wider adoption of ARM and compatibility for that architecture...)

If you're interested please DM me.

Bro I'm loving this ecosystem expansion so much.

First task: Release the #SteamDeck, and make it so popular.

A lot of people got the Deck with a Dock, and naturally wanted some new #Steam controllers bcos of how great (and comprehensive) the controllers are on the Steam Deck.

Years later, people are still playing their Deck but wishing for more powerful hardware - #SteamMachine comes to the rescue TOGETHER with the #SteamController they wished for.

On the side, #VR enthusiasts are enjoying their new #SteamFrame standalone/hybrid VR headset that runs #SteamOS on #ARM (#Snapdragon). All the while, #Valve/developers will be hard at work supporting compatibility for x86/#Windows games to run on #Linux on ARM.

Eventually, once Steam Frame has matured (like the Deck very well is now, in its fourth year), Valve announces a Steam Deck Lite (or Mini) with an ARM SOC instead of x86, and like the Steam Deck, plays most of your libraries at reasonable performance/fidelity but this time - with a huge boost in battery life and a leaner form factor :)))

I know I'm coping hard rn but I would looooovveeeee for ARM to be as widespread on the Linux 'ecosystem', as it has been for #Apple for the longest time now - and I'm putting it on Valve to get us there ​​

The new #Valve hardware announcement looks legit amazing

They've decided to take what they've learned and built with #Steam Deck
and turn it into:
- a powerful custom AMD PC (Steam Machine)
- a wireless VR headset (Steam Frame)
- and a new Steam Controller to go with it.

All of which:
- Are optimized for usage along each other
- Embrace open source software and community modding just like the Steam Deck

The idea of a wireless #VR headset with GNU/Linux makes me MOIST

#Valve is going full in and just announced 3 new #gaming #hardware devices. A controller, a #VR headset and a boxy Steam Machine!

A simple black cube with a white LED in its bottom right hand corner on a beige background. That's it. Sorry it is not more exciting.

But this is. A cool looking set of black VR goggles with two futuristic looking controllers lay on a beige surface.
