The full headset taken from the recently-published Valve patent. Valve's most recent VR headset was 2019's high-powered, high-priced Valve Index. But rumors have long been swirling that the company is working on another device - a standalone headset code-named Deckard." Well, here to give that rumor-pot a fresh stir is a recently-published patent application from the company that could reveal Deckard itself.
Of course, the usual caveats apply: patents are patents, not product roadmaps. And the language used within applications likes this are so purposefully broad as to resist much close-reading.
But the images - ah, the images - they do tell a story. Or at least, they give your imagination enough leeway to tell a story of its own, about the perfect standalone VR headset built by Valve itself....
