Yeah I want one too as long as it provides a mobile/standalone and console-like VR experience like a Meta Quest 3 can, but with an open source Valve-brand SteamOS operating system like the one in the Steam Deck...

Having used the Quest 3, I think I'm pretty much convinced that unless you're playing flight sim games the cordless mobility of a headset is essential. And from what I've heard, Deckard will have that kind of capability we need.

The leaks/speculation I've seen seem to point to a release sometime this year. I hope it's soon... I'd love to switch from Quest 3 to a Deckard.

One requirement though for me is it needs to have lenses that eliminate the god rays and lens glare, like pancake or aspheric lenses.

And if it's OLED or microOLED that's not necessary but would be some really nice icing on the cake. Quest 3 colors suck, so I've been craving an OLED headset for a while now.

Valve doesn't release things because someone else told them to. They release things when they're ready.

Another bubbling-over-ray-of-introspection: No, Valve doesn’t release things just because some rando demands it. But let’s not ignore their long history of shelving—even nearly finished—projects if they don’t feel it offers something new or different. So while I appreciate your angst (and yes, I suppose my comment could be read as a command—but only if you squint really hard and have some unresolved issues with authority), it was quite the opposite: a brief plea to save Deckard from a potentially silent, if not gruesome, fate—unexistence.

I wish they'd tease something. -_- i've been waiting for some type of news, and at this rate am just close to getting a meta and calling it a day. Suppose till Christmas.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
