This makes me more confident that their next hardware release will be a standalone/PC hybrid VR headset to compete with the quest 2/3.
New store interface….???
Deckard stand-alone VR rumors intensify
if deckard turns out to be inside out tracked with a depth sensor to scan the playspace instead of having to manually set it like how quest 3 is said to have soon I will scream
DECKARD 👏👏 DECKARD 👏👏
I mainly like that it shows non vr games in the recent games now. It was an absolute pain to navigate and find a flat game, even if I had just played it a minute earlier.
Why play flat games in vr
Bigger screen
Huge degredation in quality
My main use case is that it lets me play laying down in my bed. It's pretty great for my back.
Ah fair enough, I watch my series like that sometimes.
So when can we try it with a new afordable Steam PC headset?
Pretty sure it's supposed to launch together with HL3 👍
2014 can't come soon enough!!
Probably in 10 years when 4k per eye displays cost $2.50 and Wifi 9 can transmit DisplayPort 3 with low latency.
Cheap steam vr headset anyone?
Steam vs Apple future is becoming apparent. This is the kind of competition this market needs.
If Apple actually wants to compete in affordable VR gaming maybe.
Seemingly apple doesn't want VR gaming at all, so that should be an easy win
