Deckard Is Valve's “Spatial Computer” [video] (Culmination of Rumors, Datamines)

(I submitted this) It's looking increasingly likely that valve's work on a standalone VR headset is continuing.

It's super interesting to me, because even though I don't want to live in a dystopia where we all just work in headsets for 12 hours a day, having one as a monitor to also do productive things on when you want would be pretty helpful. The upcoming Meta Quest 3's per-eye resolution of roundabout 2000 by 2200 and lack of eye tracking don't sound like they will allow for comfortable text reading and navigating UIs for non-games, and the apple headset is outside of most people's price range and also requires you to be in apple's ecosystem.

Valve looks like they have a real shot at making a linux-compatible "spatial computer", and the work on the gamescope compositor pointed out in the submitted video suggests that they are moving in this direction. Exciting times ahead!
