There’s no shortage of speculation when it comes to all things Valve. Tyler McVicker, YouTuber and one of the leading voices dedicated to deciphering Valve’s various internal developments, however now reports that not only is the company’s long-awaited standalone VR headset still coming, but it may arrive alongside its own Half-Life game.
Valve’s much hyped standalone, known only as ‘Deckard’, is “still very much in production,” McVicker maintains, saying that according to his sources that Valve “still intend[s] on shipping this piece of hardware.
Hmm. The only thing that worries me is that a mobile VR headset will be a big step back in processing power. The index is great because it’s basically just a monitor. I hope their next headset is streaming from a desktop, so it’s not ewaste with a potato-looking VR game six or eight years down the line.
Mobile VR is the obvious next step for VR. You just won’t have as good of an experience with a cable unless you have a very dedicated setup
It’s most definitively gonna allow for streaming via Wi-Fi
How do you mean “next step”? There are plenty of mobile headsets, and there are plenty of wired headsets. The next step, as with most technologies like this, is to improve on the more popular one. So better battery life, higher res, and faster.
