Valve Leaks 8 Steam Frame Videos, Detailing Fit, Sign-In and VR Accessories

3 articles · Updated · Engadget · Aug 19

Summary

  • Eight Steam Frame videos surfaced after Valve accidentally pushed them in an ARM Steam Client update, giving a fuller look at how the headset is worn, adjusted and signed into.
  • The clips show a QR-code login option, an interpupillary-distance wheel with a sliding lock, and modular parts including a magnetic face gasket and optional eye spacer.
  • Accessories shown include controller hand straps, a crown support strap, an extended light blocker for smaller noses, and a rear battery-pack charging port built into the main head strap.
  • Valve still has not disclosed a price for the 16GB-RAM headset, which is due this summer and could face upward cost pressure from the broader RAM shortage.
