We already know that Valve makes one of the best VR headsets on the market, namely Index. Except that this viewer, to work, needs to be connected to a PC to receive the data stream, as well as to a power source. According to Sean Hollister of The Verge, during his Steam Deck test, a Valve spokesperson would have suggested that the processor and GPU combination created by AMD for the Steam Deck could be the basis for a stand alone viewer, that is, one that has enough computational power. to work independently.
Like Oculus Quest, precisely.
"We are not ready to announce anything, but it would work well in that area, obviously working well on heat dissipation ... but it is a which is very important to us and future plans, "said Greg Coomer.
Steam Deck So the problem would be more of a design, that is how to make the processor work at its maximum capacity without heating, not the computational power in itself. Indeed, Steam Deck, being a portable PC in all respects, could even be connected to a VR headset, although its power is not optimized for this task.
