    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “This is our first big step in a larger ongoing effort to better unify the Steam ecosystem for all users, providing a more consistent experience across devices.

    This update also allows us to add new Steam features in the future much faster and more frequently.”

    SteamVR 2.0 has been a long time coming, with Valve saying in a 2019 year-in-review Steam post that it was “hard at work” on the update.

    Interestingly, the update arrived without any sort of announcement of new hardware — Valve is rumored to be working on some kind of new VR headset, though it’s unclear what form it might take.

    A mystery gadget passed radio certification in South Korea in September, which could point toward a potentially imminent hardware announcement of some sort, VR headset or not.

    And Valve has also reportedly been developing a standalone VR headset codenamed “Deckard,” which, if released, would compete with Meta’s standalone Quest VR headsets.


    The original article contains 230 words, the summary contains 156 words. Saved 32%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    It’s one feature on the upcoming Magic 6 that will also feature a virtual assistant that utilizes Qualcomm’s on-device AI. You can ask it to do things like gather all the videos on your device that meet a certain criteria, whittle them down by other characteristics, and have it generate a new video highlighting your clips.

    This was supposed to be posted in a thread about a new phone feature alongside eye tracking. Sorry for any confusion it caused.

      Wrong post? I don’t see your quote in the article, and it seems to be about a phone not the new SteamVR release?

        Wow, that’s embarrassing.

        Have no idea how that happened…

    It’s been a while since I’ve played any VR, life gets in the way, but I might spin it up just to see what they’ve done.
