Valve Will Launch Own VR Device, To Be Shown At GDC

Valve aren't stopping at gamepads and console-like boxes, as they have announced a VR device they will demo at GDC.

Official announcement:

QuoteSteam is bringing the best games and user-generated content to exciting new destinations. At GDC 2015, we’ll be giving demos of the refined Steam Controller, new living room devices, and a previously-unannounced SteamVR hardware system.

With the introduction of SteamVR hardware, Valve is actively seeking VR content creators. Are you a developer or publisher interested in experiencing the new SteamVR hardware? We’ll be giving scheduled VR demos during the week of GDC, March 4th-6th, 2015, at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

I always thought VR was some sort of fad, and my thoughts haven't changed yet, but with Valve entering the VR market I might just have to pick one up! I am open to a change of heart on VR.

How do you feel about this folks? Will you pick one up? I imagine there are some people who steered away for Oculus with the Facebook takeover, so maybe this will win some more customers.

Safe to say GDC will be very exciting, and not just for Linux. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
