"Valve has just announced the Steam Frame, its new VR headset that can play games streamed directly from your PC using a dedicated streaming stick and run Windows games locally thanks to an Arm chip in the headset itself. At the same time, Valve is also moving on from its previous VR headset, the Valve Index, which it's "no longer manufacturing," designer Lawrence Yang tells The Verge."
"The Frame isn't exactly a sequel to the Index. But it does improve upon the older headset with some of its specs; the Index's LCD screens have 1440 x 1600 per-eye resolution, while the Frame offers 2160 x 2160 per eye, for example. If you like the Index's "Knuckles" controllers and how you can strap them right onto your hand, you'll be able to buy optional straps for the Frame's controllers so you can do the same thing."
Valve's Steam Frame is a new VR headset that can stream games from a PC using a dedicated 6GHz wireless streaming stick and can run Windows games locally using an Arm processor built into the headset. The Frame offers higher-resolution displays than the Index, delivering 2160 x 2160 per eye versus 1440 x 1600 per eye. Optional controller straps let users secure controllers to their hands similarly to the Index's Knuckles controllers. Valve is not manufacturing the Valve Index anymore and does not plan to support lighthouse base stations with the Frame. Streaming over the 6GHz adapter performed extremely well in demonstrations.
