Valve released their VR suite for PC over three years ago. While this is one of the best items on the market, it definitely doesn’t have the same power it had when it was released to players. Already last year, Gabe Newell announced that the company is making great strides in the development of new headsets. In addition, the company’s product designer Greg Coomer suggested that the Steam Deck chip could be used to replace a virtual reality headset in the future. Valve CEO Newell himself introduced the new game console in an interview with Edge as a high-performance battery-powered device that could eventually be used in VR applications. However, as he noted, “we haven’t really gotten there yet, but it’s a stepping stone.”
The first evidence that a new Valve VR toy is actually being made came from YouTuber Brad Lynch last year in the SteamVR controller code. The novelty should have a cover name”Deckard” and its existence is further confirmed by internal sources, according to Ars Technica. In addition, four months ago, a well-known company patented a realistic-looking design. According to the latest list of currently offered vacancies, there may be a time when Deckard it’s coming, slowly approaching. In addition to traditional elements such as eye and hand tracking, as described in the job offer, this piece should also offer players camera bandwidth and environmental awareness. It is these two aspects that may mean that we will see a mixed reality, but so far these are only assumptions.
