[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57461, member: 1"] Valve appears to be working on a new version of its Valve Index virtual reality headset with camera passthrough and advanced tracking. As reported by [URL='https://uploadvr.com/valve-job-vr-headset-deckard']Upload[/URL], a job listing on [URL='https://www.valvesoftware.com/en/jobs?job_id=52']Valve's website[/URL] revealed its search for software engineers to assist it in "pushing the boundaries of VR experiences". It continued: "The main scope of this position is to prototype, ship, and support consumer gaming products leveraging visual-inertial tracking (HMD and controllers), camera passthrough, environment understanding, eye tracking, and hand tracking." While its remained quiet on the VR front since the Index was released in 2019, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-review']Valve has since seen success with another hardware[/URL] pursuit in the Steam Deck. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-no-reservation']Now that its production issues have resolved[/URL], however, Valve appears to be turning its attention back to VR. Though its Index is still considered [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/oculus-quest-2-review']one of the best high end VR headsets[/URL], [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/oculus-quest-2-review']the Meta (previously Oculus) Quest 2 has become a strong competitor[/URL] since it was released in 2020, and Meta is otherwise doubling down on VR in the coming years.

[URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/mark-zuckerberg-meta-project-cambria-without-showing-headset']Mark Zuckerberg released footage of the first of these, Project Cambria, back in May[/URL], showing off similar features to what Valve is seemingly planning such as camera passthrough and environment understanding.
