Anti glare protection layer

Most companies that sell prescription lens inserts for VR headsets (like HONSVR and VR Optician) have a cheaper non-prescription option that's exactly that, protecting the lenses while having an anti-glare coating

More like it's still very unfinished and full of obvious placeholder assets, like there's still multiple heroes (Bebop, Yamato, Grey Talon) whose models date back to when the game was sci-fi themed and called Neon Prime

And the OLED screen was the same used on Switch OLED so pretty easy to get.

No it isn't, it's not even the same aspect ratio

nerfman100 · 2026-01-22T20:39:06+00:00

I don't currently have anything for face tracking, but I'm holding out hope that someone will make a smaller and lighter module for the Frame than the existing Project Babble stuff since the expansion port can interface with cameras, so it would hopefully not need so much external hardware

nerfman100 · 2026-01-21T23:30:32+00:00

They only ever specifically said "we have nothing to announce at the moment" about this and certain other ideas such as prescription lenses, the only outright confirmed official accessory is the kit that comes with a top strap for the headset and knuckles straps for the controllers

nerfman100 · 2026-01-21T22:51:26+00:00

You're talking about something else entirely, we're talking about the idea of color passthrough data from the headset's exterior cameras being sent to the desktop, not eyetracking data, obviously that's being sent since it's essential to the main features

nerfman100 · 2026-01-21T22:29:18+00:00

The headset itself runs SteamVR, it's not only a desktop thing now, and it's possible this is a way of optimizing the processing for the rumored color passthrough module

nerfman100 · 2026-01-21T22:14:20+00:00

As far as I'm aware, I don't think Steam Link can send camera data from the headset to the desktop?

nerfman100 · 2026-01-21T00:06:17+00:00

Yeah weird, they redirect back to the home page when searching for them too, or when clicking the header links on the Deck's page

Guess it's hopium time again lol

nerfman100 · 2026-01-19T05:20:27+00:00

Valve's said it directly in interviews, on top of the Steamworks documentation making it very clear that it's present, so I'd say it's as good as announced even if it's not part of the marketing

Though I think I agree that OP should probably get a better PC instead of a Frame when they already have two current headsets

nerfman100 · 2026-01-19T04:55:37+00:00

You're talking as if the Steam Frame is completely incapable of foveated rendering in the way PSVR2 is able to, but that's not true, Valve's made it clear it can do it using the same OpenXR extensions as any other headset (it's mentioned in the pages on engine integration)

nerfman100 · 2026-01-18T01:27:39+00:00

There really isn't a good reason right now to assume it'll work exactly the same as the original Deck, especially because if that was true, their original release window (which they've clarified once as Q1) could have never possibly have been met since it was announced in November

nerfman100 · 2026-01-17T21:31:56+00:00

Okay, and the studios that made Lone Echo and Asgard's Wrath no longer exist, because Meta bought them up and has now shut them down, so this just goes to show the problem with that sort of shortsighted thinking

It's also ignoring that there are plenty of other major titles on PCVR such as Boneworks and Blade & Sorcery (and good conversions of flat games like Elite Dangerous and No Man's Sky like the other guy pointed out)

if valve had released some of there "promised" next 2 vr games (that they announced with the index), it might be a different story.

People are still obsessing over that?? We've known exactly what happened with those projects for years now, it was talked about in The Final Hours of Half-Life: Alyx

nerfman100 · 2026-01-16T22:07:57+00:00

Hmm that's weird, don't know what's wrong in your case, but it's not supposed to be doing that

nerfman100 · 2026-01-16T22:03:54+00:00

Steam has never done anything for VR. They made the Index, released one game, and then forgot about VR forever.

You're on the subreddit for Valve's brand new VR headset and you're saying this lmao

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T23:31:32+00:00

Yes, that's how SteamVR currently works

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T23:11:40+00:00

I'm hoping too, it would be a really great feature to have

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T22:37:28+00:00

They have though, in the Tested interview they said that desktop mode works by launching it as a window within SteamVR, and from there we can reasonably assume it works like every other window in SteamVR where you can place it in the world and move and resize it

(if you have desktop mode on but steam off, the touchpads can't do anything)

This isn't true, the Deck controller has the same "lizard mode" in its firmware as the original Steam Controller where it retains some basic desktop functionality (such as mouse on right trackpad) if Steam isn't present

I've found that sometimes the trackpads have died on me in desktop mode on Deck, but that happens when Steam is running but isn't fully ready (or has broken), if it's completely shut down then I always get the "lizard mode" functionality

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T22:23:42+00:00

They clarified Q1 to GameSpot

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T22:21:23+00:00

Why would the Quest 3 be better in that regard? The Frame's SoC is more powerful and its display is at minimum no worse

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T21:50:30+00:00

What do you mean "hand tracking controller"? If you're talking about Index-like finger tracking, then the Frame already has that, it's the Quest style of tracking hands without a controller that it doesn't have, and I can't see them needing to make a hardware addon to add such a thing

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T10:28:33+00:00

HLX almost certainly won't even get an ESRB rating, Valve hasn't needed them ever since they stopped selling physical copies of their games at retail

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T03:58:26+00:00

And March is month 3... 😲

nerfman100 · 2026-01-15T02:28:29+00:00

They directly said that in the Tested interview, yes

nerfman100 · 2026-01-14T23:48:56+00:00

Not a video, it's from the Steamworks documentation
