Steam Deck (using SteamOS) handheld by Valve


Unlike the Steamdeck, which was around 500 € when i bought it, the steamframe is sadly out of my reach, allthough its a quite apealing concept and im still not had the chances to try out VR yet, (expect the VR Cards on the Nintendo 3DS ..)

I think the price of €1050+ is too high, but everything is priced high at the moment. If you never played VR and you would have this headset and your first VR game is Half-Life Alyx (which you get 'for free' with the headset): you would be spoiled. As it's arguably still the best VR game available.
But when you complete this game, roughly 16 hours to complete; so recharging your headset... 16 times, you will be out of VR games.
There are many VR games worth playing. But you started with the best one. So you can also play your regular Steam games, where ever you are.
 
And I guess you get 3D with apps that can deliver SBS output, such as a few emulators. Some of the AR glasses allow for that.
I just remembered I used to play quite a lot of games in 3D with nvidia 3D vision. It used shutter glasses on certified high FPS monitors. Shame that monitor broke. While nvidia stopped maintaining the software, there was a community that offered patches for mainstream games. Last PC game I played in 3D was Crysis 3. That was quite the experience.

I used to use shutterglasses to, until driver support was dropped. Actually worked nice for 3rd person shooters like Max Payne. I got a HMD (they didn't name it a VR headset at the time) with two 100Hz LCD 800x600 displays. But, it used the same mechanism for 3D as the shutterglasses :(
