Valve to enter virtual reality hardware market with Valve Index - The gaming company has teased a photo of the new device, more info in May

The video game company behind Steam have teased an image of what appears to be a virtual reality headset, labelled 'Valve Index', along with the tag-line, "Upgrade your experience. May 2019".

It is expected that the May 2019 reference will be when we find out more information on the device, rather than a potential release date.


So far very...

I really hope this VR headset comes in at a reasonable price. I'm hopeful that it will, as other valve hardware has been reasonably priced and if it takes off, they'll sell a boatload of copies of HL3 ;). If it's not too expensive, I think this time I may jump in and buy one.

Speaking of virtual reality, rather than a new thread, check this out.

For those that don't follow football, Chelsea scored a goal that shouldn't have been allowed as it was offside. This is Jamie Carragher using a HTC Vive to view the goal from the linesmen. Clever stuff!

Very clever they managed to model all that. I'm not used to seeing pundits have sympathy with the ref/linesman ;).

Linesman Simulator 2019 :lol: .
