Looks like Valve is preparing to release SteamOS to the public (or at least to third-party hardware manufacturers) (lemmy.ml)

Deckard will probably be a split unit: a lightweight headset with a small stationary unit for wireless streaming. That stationary unit will also work as a normal steam machine connected to a TV and will be on sale seperatly. (This is all speculation)

This sounds great, if the streaming to the headset is lossless. And the streaming isn’t a huge drain on the battery. (High bandwidth super low latency streaming is usually a strain on batteries).

All of the high quality wireless adapters for things like the Vive and Index have gotten hot, too.

If it’s just h.265 streaming… fuck that. Dark scenes always look like shit.

So far every streaming option for Oculus Quests have the option to choose h264 or h265, and now AV1, and I assume eventually h266. Lossless if using USB-C.
