Described as a portable Steam Deck for your face, it offers standalone capabilities and an integrated processor for VR content. Key features include a controller covered in sensors, pass through cameras, and a modular design, all running on a Linux operating system for customizability.
The Steam Frame is confirmed to play specific titles like Half Life Alyx, utilizing foveated streaming for its viewing experience. While it aims to be a versatile gaming device worn on the face, it poses a challenge for glasses wearers and will not support all existing games. Further details regarding the future of VR, headsets, and the Steam Frame are anticipated from Valve.
