It’s been a long time since we had any news about the famous Valve Deckard. Remember, in October 2022, it started with a job posting that required the candidate to know how to “prototype and support a VR headset with advanced tracking capabilities.” In January of this year, it is a PC-oriented patent VR wireless that was emerging. Don’t worry, the helmet is well under construction!
In an interview with This is GameGreg Coomer, Product Designer at Valveclaims that it could be that the company has been working on “a new VR headset recently”. You would have understood it, the designer cannot confirm the existence of the product or communicate the date. However, he assures that the company continues to believe strongly in virtual reality.
Previously interviewed by the newspaper The Vergein particular on the possible use of the processor of the Steam Deck in a helmet VR autonomous, Greg Coomer replied that it would be very relevant for Valve to keep this idea in future projects.
When PICO try as best you can to catch up with the leader Meta in terms of an autonomous catalog, Valve shouldn’t invest in an Android-powered headsetespecially if the company wants to implement the processor of a Steam Deck or a possible successor, which is of a completely different architecture (x86) to natively support the Android system. Whether Valve want to use this power for PC experiments VRlet’s not forget that these are mobile chips and that the experience would only be greatly degraded.
