If Valve Releases This, I’ll Switch

[@techlinked]

hey guys its riley from the video im just thinkin about the fact that 1000 is some arbitrary number i felt like calling out once we made that many episodes but it's not like i unlocked an xbox achievement or something. but you can unlock waterproof comfort with Vessi’s Black Friday Sale haha gotcha stay dry in style with Vessi at vessi.com

Licking a taste creating lollipop was NOT on my "before GTA VI" bingo card

[@praralexander7561]

Its a shame Valve is throwing away everything good about the Index for the most generic headset possible. Also, I know they want it to have a consistent layout across their devices, but not having the right touchpad on the Steam Duke be in a spot that is usable for most hands is such garbage.

[@MadMaxGyver]

how can you know that based on a render that's not event showing it straight up ?

[@Draugo]

@@MadMaxGyver Because the main reason, at least for me, for getting Index instead of some other system was the knuckle controllers instead of pushing a trigger button to close the hand. I am thinking of getting Quest 3 for the living room so it's not a completely useless development but unless Valve can match the price of Quest 3 I don't see a reason why I would go with their version, unless there's some really good upsided.

The VR lollipop should be repackaged as a weight loss device. Seems like there's untapped potential to market it as a tool to help curb cravings.

[@makedaevilmage]

Saying that Valve leaked, makes it sound like they're plummers. lol.

[@seeker_of_knowlage3568]

Lol good one

[@jubuttib]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="74">1:14</a> The base stations don't track anything, they emit laser signals that the headset tracks. Valve's system IS inside-out tracking, the sensors and processing that does the tracking is built into the headset and the controllers, but with specific reference points in the form of the Lighthouses, instead of generic video tracking.

[@MadMaxGyver]

Technically yes, but it's the commonly used term to differentiate the two types of tracking

[@jubuttib]

@MadMaxGyver Yes, but it's also just plain wrong, both inside-out and outside-in are umbrella terms that can cover a range of tracking methods. There's granularity there that should be acknowledged, and/or different terms used, something like "fully onboard tracking" or a more sexy sounding term. I don't mind that much when random people do it, but I expect a higher standard from news outlets and people specialized in the field. Similarly I have issues with news outlets and "authorities" using terms like "two times more" when they really mean "twice as many", or gun educators calling the AR-15 system "direct impingement" when it's an internal piston, DI is a different system.

[@marklog6587]

the index controllers are really good. These look like a step down

[@MadMaxGyver]

The deckard is supposed to be an affordable option for VR, so that makes sense. I hope they will make an Index 2 with current tech (optics mostly)

[@cvdusey]

The leaked wide Steam controller would probably be pretty nice, I personally find wide controllers (such as the Wii U Gamepad) to be quite comfortable due to not having bend my arms inwards as much to hold the controller (don’t take that out of context).

[@AceLeach]

I'm not buying another VR headset until we get index-like finger tracking again. Valve and Meta can stick it if they think I'm gonna buy a headset without it. Bonus points if it has camera tracking so it can do foviated rendering and focus pulling without breaking the bank.

[@bzavacado]

Definitely buying that steam controller version once it releases, it’s definitely gonna be the ultimate PC companion

If they release anything even close to what those rendered controllers show, there's going to be a lot of upset VR enthusiasts. Those are clearly not finger tracked. Also, inside-out tracking is far inferior to lighthouse tracking. Valve is obviously prioritizing stand-alone with this headset rather than the "why not both" that people were speculating. Hey Valve! The people who are buying YOUR headsets don't want stand-alone! They want something they can connect to the gaming PCs that they already have! This is going to be a huge step back for the actual VR enthusiasts if you continue down this path.

[@techny3000]

eyyy congrats to the team on 1000 episodes! here's to many more quick bits! P.S. you know it's a big moment when Linus hosts

[@BrownFoxWarrior]

It's best to wait and see the final product, but I will admit I would be a bit let down if Valve's only new headset entry for a while is just a better Quest 3. Don't get me wrong, I am sure it would be a great Quest competitor, but not having a new enthusiast-level headset after the wait would be a disappointment.

[@D63-p7k]

Linus seriously, by your logic, nothing is anything-proof. Put enough energy behind any matter and it will pass through other matter. What are the reasonable expectations of something that claims to be waterproof? In what context is the item being used? I don't think anyone is expecting their Vessi's to stop a hydraulic drill, or even to keep their feet dry while scuba diving. They're waterproof in the context of wearing them while it's raining or while walking through a shallow puddle. That's what they advertise them for, right? Anyway, I love your videos, and WAN show always keeps me company during my commute! Keep being awesome!

[@MadMaxGyver]

They are water resistant, nothing is "waterproof", and it's true for the other x-proof words too yes, I completely agree with Linus on that one.

[@jblev736]

[@zwenkwiel816]

Everyone loves to hate on meta, and in many cases rightfully so but the Deckard will use inside out tracking and that controller looks a lot like the quest pro controller....

[@Day100]

If valve, a major phone manufacturer, and Qualcomm worked on making linux gaming more viable on ARM, it'd absolutely explode the market. I hope something happens with ARM investment and support by 2026 because the hardware seems to be up to it.

[@MetaverseAdventures]

The amount of buttons and even a D Pad on the Valve controllers is very concerning as it demonstrates their head is in the flatscreeen gaming world still where having lots of buttons makes sense, but in VR, the best games are the ones where you interact with things versus pressing buttons. I have never wanted more buttons, just more interactions.

[@MadMaxGyver]

Why not having both ? More options is a good thing IMO

Inside out tracking and no trackpads? No thanks. I'll stick to my index I dont mind a headset having inside out tracking, definitely broadens the viable userbase. But i want my lighthouses aswell. As for the trackpads, they feel far more immersive than button's for some things, and have insane utility for button mapping by developers, you can use a track pad so many ways, and even multiple ways at once
