New chat tools, a better keyboard, and a new store interface
The new features since the headline is a little too clickbaity
This makes me more confident that their next hardware release will be a standalone/PC hybrid VR headset to compete with the quest 2/3.
- will still mean everything runs on steamvr (which makes porn apps a bit risky)
  Please tell me there's a solution 🥺
  
  As long as it's wireless it doesn't need to be standalone. How many VR users take their HMD outside their home?
New store interface….???
Deckard stand-alone VR rumors intensify
- if deckard turns out to be inside out tracked with a depth sensor to scan the playspace instead of having to manually set it like how quest 3 is said to have soon I will scream
I mainly like that it shows non vr games in the recent games now. It was an absolute pain to navigate and find a flat game, even if I had just played it a minute earlier.
- Bigger screen
  
  My main use case is that it lets me play laying down in my bed. It's pretty great for my back.
DECKARD 👏👏 DECKARD 👏👏
Cheap steam vr headset anyone?
Steam vs Apple future is becoming apparent. This is the kind of competition this market needs.
So when can we try it with a new afordable Steam PC headset?
- Pretty sure it's supposed to launch together with HL3 👍
  
  2014 can't come soon enough!!
- Probably in 10 years when 4k per eye displays cost $2.50 and Wifi 9 can transmit DisplayPort 3 with low latency.
