More than Vive! More Steam VR tracking helmets are coming

Recently, Valve co-founder and President Gabe Newell held a question and answer (AMA) event on social news site Reddit, and Valve employee Joe Ludwig commented on the latest developments in the company's Steam VR tracking system: More compatible with Steam VR Head-mounted display devices for tracking technology "Lighthouse" are under development.

Ludwig's commentary is: "In addition to HTC, do you expect other hardware vendors to consider launching their own Lighthouse/Steam VR headsets? You think other companies haven't gotten on the train yet (at least not publicly) What is the reason?” He said that the developers of these helmets came from 500 companies that signed a Steam VR use agreement with Valve. “Some of these companies have talked about this, but more companies will wait until the time is ripe to announce the news. ."

Steam VR tracking technology uses laser scanning of the room invisible to the naked eye to intelligently track objects with surface sensors. A compatibility system like Lighthouse, which can support multiple products from multiple vendors, can reduce upgrade costs (because the tracking system is already installed) while allowing a large number of objects to have access to the virtual reality world. This ultimately creates an experience that is very similar to the real world. Virtual reality experience.
