    Tbf its a pretty recent thing, was only announced in November, and I’ve really only seen coverage of it in places that regularly talk about VR. As someone interested in VR though I am quite excited for it.

      I too was excited by VR.

      In the early 90’s.
      Then nothing happened.
      But THEN nothing continued to happen.
      After a few decades of that I lost interest.

        Understandable tbh, though since the 90s there had been actual progress, if slow. I think it will probably remain a fairly niche thing and not for everyone, but it does provide a unique experience in my opinion.

        I have an oculus quest 2 (technically meta now but fuck that) that I still use occasionally, and even though it’s a bit old now it’s still decent. And actual modern headsets are much better, and the steam frame should be about on par or a little better than the quest 3, but not made by meta, running Linux, and with steam library integration. There are better spec ones out there, but it gets expensive quick.

          Oculus going to Meta was a major bummer. I might pick up the frame up if the price is right and it works well.

          From the Steam Frame page:

          No setup required. Four high-resolution, monochrome cameras provide controller and headset tracking. Infrared LEDs on the outside make tracking great even in dark environments.

          That’s brilliant. 👍
