Valve Corporation's long-rumored VR headset is finally real. After allying with HTC to launch the Vive as a SteamVR product in 2016, Valve has moved ahead with plans to launch its own headset, the Valve Index, in "May 2019."

The news came on Friday in the form of a single teaser image, shown
above, of a headset with the phrase "Valve Index" written on its front.
The front of the headset is flanked by at least two sensors. This
shadow-covered hardware matches the leaked headset reported by UploadVR in November of last year.
That report hinted to Valve's headset supporting a wider, 135-degree
field-of-view (FOV), as opposed to the roughly 110-degree FOV of the
original HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

I get disoriented all the time ..
 Wtf came up with that domain name and why ?

On a serious note, LZ's take about HTC is probably right on the money. I can't imagine many people who use the Vive sticking with them. If that Valve headset is any good, and it should be, HTC is in big trouble.

Honestly all Oculus had to do is put the same screen as the Odyssey plus in the Rift S and it would have been an instant buy for me... I will truly miss the Rift ecosystem but if this HMD has a better screen and FOV well I will have to jump ship... It's sad, it was such an easy thing to accomplish

 Iv'e seen some disturbing comments on different forums who seem to belive that Valve are the first to deliver the non cardboxVR hmd out there. I used to be worried with average iq of humanity and their ability to read up on news. Guess that by now iv'e just given up.

Both HTC and Oculus might be in trouble if their marketing material has sparkling videos with half naked womans in it.

Just saying.

But what about their secret weapon...HL3 VR? 

And will this come with the knuckles controller? 

If the screen is better + knuckles + HL3 VR then I'm buying. Probably $800+ but I'll still get it.

So what, they're just going to start selling this thing without revealing the specs or features or any specific planned content ahead of time?  Well that's not shady at all. 

Also, "Valve Index" was the best name they could come up with???  :neutral:
