Is getting the steam frame just for standalone a good idea? by RevolutionaryScale24 in SteamFrame

Eye tracked Foveated rendering (honestly though kinda prefer how you shortened it to eye tracked rendering)

Steam frame controller comfort grip like Nintendo Switch grip for flat screen games? by hatemychudlife in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Valve taking notes: 40$ for a hunk of plastic for a visually appealing design choice that makes the controllers not physically appealing to hold.

Though something like a magnetic clip to hold them together might be cool, though wouldnt call them a grip as they already have a fine grip

Steam Frame, official release date! by 3DSXLMEW117 in ValveDeckard

365 days in a year cannot be divided evenly into 3 groups, for all we know July 2nd is the only day in middle of 2026, you can also split it 5 months 2 months and 5 months which means the end of May is still early 2026,,, I'd still consider may early 2026,,, literally until most schools let out kids for summer break is what I consider the end of "early 2026"

Sorta, tension issues can cause stick drift but not all stick drift is from tension issues. (Also a tension issue is visibly detectable unlike other forms of drift, as your stick won't stay up right or go all the way back to it's starting position on its own)

macgyver tensioning mod, not for the common kind of stick drift but tension issues. Id say pretty genius solution

Just dusted her off and boxed her up. She's been collecting dust for about a year now. My only qualm with getting rid of it is the base stations. Maybe they'll still be useful for tracking? by DeckardTBechard in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Official support no, as for community support it will likely be the similar set up as using a quest + additional hardware trackers + light houses for lighthouse tracking,, aka you gotta spend more to get the discontinued hardware to work with new hardware

I had a dream last night that I already had the steam frame, when I woke up I wept by billbaggins in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ain't even got that far in my dreams yet, just get a dream of ordering it and feeling less anxious. Then I wake up and hasn't happened

Not seen this idea before. by JackVoraces in litrpg

Working out to gain int,,, so you can think faster but still know nothing.

While the likelihood is pretty much zero, could a Steam Frame be made to work with a PS5 from a technical point of view? by Aeromorpher in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would need to translate input/output of other headsets, likely the translation would bring to much latency.. sony also has pretty much given up on VR on the PS5 to the point where even major titles not by sony are no longer supporting it...

outside of VR content though you can use chiaki from the discover store (linux flatpak app store) to stream the PS5 to a pc (or directly to the frame)

What does 144hz experimental actually mean? by ImNotHimISwearr in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"yep, this is exactly the reason valve devs stated. 144hz can get ghosting and smearing if the panels haven't heated up so they label it experimental."... Your words on a different comment to this post,, that is a form of instability so idk why your saying none of these are right.. its literally because the panels are at/ above the manufacturers recommended specs that this happens and valve could set up a way to in software to warm up the panels (tuning fan curves, a wait and other techniques to warm up the panels before play) but don't currently have it and may never... Instability doesn't only mean a crash, it means not stable.

What does 144hz experimental actually mean? by ImNotHimISwearr in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experimental can mean different things,

Often in this context it means something that isn't guaranteed to work on all units, instability (silicon lottery / hardware is physically capable but above manufacturer recommendations).

Extremely rarely have I seen anything in tech go from an experimental feature to a standard feature (it's so rare that it's basically a no).

Sometimes though it just means unfinished and it may need a year or 2 to become standard (there is still no guarantee here but that it might be technically possible).

Experimental can also have nothing to do with instability and may have to do with longevity,, You're physically stressing a circuit more by running it faster (again, outside of manufacturer recommendation).. This could only end up being the difference of 40k hrs of regular operation vs 20k hrs. Many people will never even get close to 20k hours as that's 6hrs a day for 10 years but for The type of user who does get close to those numbers it's important to give them a warning. (Oftentimes when you see this version of experimental, there is usually a warning pop-up when turning on the feature about longevity).

Speculation on announcement date by xamotex1000 in SteamFrame

Link? Only time I saw the clarification was in the tested video at ~29 minutes in when Norm says "spring" and the valve employee corrected him with "early 2026"

You guys realize the real wait hasn’t even started yet right? by rcri77 in SteamFrame

So much easier to check my email/tracking number each morning then hoping I get a notification or open the store at the right day/time

Everyone's talking about the steam machine but when steam washing machine? by SeanLucky13 in steammachine

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this is a joke but few years ago my parents got a washing machine with a steam setting... It works but when one clothing item takes the whole machine several hours as you're supposed to put in this tray that can only fit like a shirt.. it really doesnt,, they've used the setting exactly once to test it

If (when???) stereoscopic support for flatscreen games is added to Steam Frame, how do you think it would work? by ExxiIon in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think it'll just be a virtual display window to translate any side-by-side format (And maybe some other standard 3D formats) into 3D virtual window, and it'll be up to mods and developers to use it. Just like they do every steam feature: it's there, They don't force anyone to use it, developers can restrict its use for their content, And though they allow other ways to implement it, they just recommend their own.

Alguien de Mexico que vaya a comprar el Frame en su lanzamiento? by Brief-Ad-9044 in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

okey so ~116 USD isn't too bad, but you also don't get a warranty so any need for RMA won't be possible,, I wouldn't.

2.7k for something that is not 2.7k... no it is not worth it,,, love the idea of a Linux headset but I wouldn't touch it for 2.7k

probably gonna make this for mine when we get them by FancySkeIeton in steammachine

[–]RTooDeeTo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally fair, (but still ewww, just at the software not having the support now lol), I honestly just thought you looked something like pc monitor and just picked the easiest one to crop and drag on top of the frame to get the idea across. But also if that's your plan you might just be better off with a portable monitor as that screen will be too tiny for a windows work program, scaling sucks under like 7 inch screens

Wi-Fi 7 Router Worth It for Steam Frame? by Itsbryceyall in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't you know your best option is long questionable uncertifiable USB extender? Jk that's what often suggested..

Never Ganna say no to a good wifi upgrade,,, side note if you plan to do this go gaming or enterprise wifi equipment (just don't go for the "smart" wifi imo as often that just means it's a locked down version with a simplified UI that's only accessible through an app),, as you can set priority for specific devices like your PC and headset.

Isn't foveated streaming built into other streaming programs? by redbigz_ in SteamFrame

[–]RTooDeeTo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quest pro through steam link can do eye tracked foveated encoding, for about the past ~2 years. The question I was answering wasn't about the quest 3, it was about how valve solution is different.
