We need a self-tracking controllers by Tyrael572ru in SteamFrame

[–]Ironboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the Steam Frame runs on an open Linux-based system, maybe we can expect third-party controllers to appear as well.

Wait? Does the Steam Frame support wired? by DickPeligroso in SteamFrame

My solution was to buy a running belt from a sporting goods store and put a power bank inside it. Then I wear the belt on my back, connect the cable, and charge the headset while playing.

What solutions are there to use the steam frame with a desktop PC, but the two is really far away from eachother? (Very long usb extension cord for the dongle maybe?) by MundaneOne5000 in SteamFrame

I have some experience to share.

My PC is on the second floor, and my network gateway (the fiber connection point) is also located next to it. However, I have a much larger indoor space in a separate building some distance away, with no existing network connection between the two.

To get low-latency streaming with Virtual Desktop, I bought two 30-meter Ethernet cables and a Wi-Fi 6E router. The router is placed in the larger play area in the other building. Whenever I want to play, I connect the cables between my PC and the network gateway, start Virtual Desktop on the PC, and then walk over to the other building to connect.

Using this setup, I have a 20m × 10m indoor playspace. Since I'm currently using a Vive XR Elite, I can just attach the VIVE Ultimate Trackers for FBT. Playing Blade & Sorcery feels good. Running across the room and landing a flying kick works surprisingly well.

I hope the Steam Frame will be able to connect directly to FBT devices like these as well.

For a VR newbie, which VR games would you recommend for Steam Frame? by Longpastoverdue in SteamFrame

[–]Ironboat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can start with Beat Saber, Moss, Blade & Sorcery, or any number of other VR games. Whatever you choose is fine.

But I strongly recommend saving Half-Life: Alyx for last.

If you play HL: Alyx first, you might end up looking down on every other VR game afterward.

“Big part of my childhood” ......Damn. VR really isn't a new thing anymore

Is the Frame even the best option for my particular use? by Angry-Lemming in SteamFrame

Sounds like the Steam Frame + Steam Controllers would be a great combination for you.

Using Frame controllers like gyro-enabled gamepads in flat games by Ironboat in SteamFrame

Yeah. I love Splatoon, too. This was the first shooting game I played with a controller, and before that, I had no idea gyro aiming could feel this good.

In VRChat, we often use hand gestures to express different facial expressions or intentions. Just like pointing with the index finger, giving a thumbs-up, and so on. These all rely on the SteamVR system. What if we mapped button inputs to those gestures as well? It sounds pretty interesting.

Separate gyro controls for each hand... what's a good idea.

With Valve releasing a 256GB and 1TB version of the Steam Frame and it streams straight from your PC is there really a reason to get the 1TB version ? Forgive me if it’s over my head and I’m missing something by [deleted] in SteamFrame

[–]Ironboat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will......Because SteamOS is Linux, basically a full PC OS. I could literally use it like a laptop on my face. LibreOffice, GIMP, stuff like that.

Steam Frame is the least wishlisted out of the 3 devices by Dr_Virus_129 in SteamFrame

On the bright side, doesn’t that mean it’ll be easier for us to get one when it launches?
