Related to this new leak of the new Valve VR headset:

I am speculating on much of the information available so far that it will have some sort of inside out tracking and allow you to connect a small Ryzen based steam-machine to your belt for room-scale tetherless VR. Alternatively you will be able to put that small steam-machine into a docking station and use it with your TV.

I believe the steam-machine hardware will be quite similar to Udoo Bolt V8:

Which is advertised as VR-Ready and with some clever optimizations that recently landed in SteamVR beta (and maybe eye-tracking or some other clever FOVeated rendering?) should be able to render most VR titles on the market today.

They could sell it for around US $500-600 and thus be it will be in direct competition to the new upcoming Occulus Quest (will cost around $400 but only offer mobile VR level graphics), but offer much better VR quality and double as a very capable home console.

I guess this will launch together with a special version of the new knuckles controller and some sort of very cool 1st party VR game directly from Valve (likely that rumored Half-life2 prequel).

Release date: Valve Time... but probably closer than you think (mid 2019???)

Speculate away ;)
