Steam Deck: Valve indicates an independent VR system with Steam deck technology A

The technical architecture of Valves PC handheld Steam deck could also serve as a basis for an independent VR system in the style of the Oculus Quest 2 style. When Sean Hollister by theverge.com Valves Greg Coomer asked if the processor unit developed by AMD could also be used in a standalone VR headset, the answer was the answer:

_ "We can not say anything yet, but it would run well in this environment, with the necessary TDP ... it is very relevant to us and our future plans." _

TDP (Thermal Design Power) is a term used in the electronics industry for thermal power loss - such as a processor. Of course, this is an important factor in a VR headset with built-in arithmetic unit, if you do not fry the user's face or would like to harass it with fan noise.

Even before the announcement of the Steam Deck there were rumors around the VR use of the hardware or offshoot. Valve confirmed after the unveiling of the handheld that the necessary connection options for today's VR headsets aboard the Steam Deck are - it is only defined by hardware power for such complex calculations. Valve CEO and President Gabe Newell even mentioned an application example: Accordingly, you should be able to connect the Oculus Quest for streaming VR content with a steam deck.

If Valve should opt for a new independent VR headset in the future (or one, e.g. Wirelessly contacts the games PC), the completion could still be a while. Already at the Valve Index, the company had strongly struggled during the pandemic with replenishment problems in the supply chain.
