Valve is allegedly working on wireless VR headset codenamed ‘Deckard’

Valve is allegedly working on a new VR headset after the Valve Index, or at least according to investigators who have discovered references to a new headset prototype within the SteamVR code. If the rumors are true, this new headset is a standalone that would work without a PC.

The information about this upcoming headset comes from VR YouTuber Brad Lynch, who reports that members of his community discovered multiple references to something codenamed “Deckard” in the SteamVR code. He then cross-referenced that name with Valve’s recent patents, and supposedly found several references to the headset having an internal processor and possibly antennas that will allow it to connect to WiFi, suggesting it’s a standalone headset.
