Wouldn't it be cool if we had a Steam Deck dedicated VR headset? (kbin.social)

I know it may seem dumb. But I can see the potential of Steam Deck regarding VR. I absolutely hate the VR headsets nowadays for being proprietary. I myself isn't a VR gamer, but it would be great to see Linux on VR.

You need a very high resultion display for each eye to make VR enjoyable. The steam deck is built with basically 720p in mind. A VR headset like the index has more than 4 times the resolution, and also needs to put out >100Hz to not make it a very rough experience. So sadly, unless its for some very basic games, VR on the steam deck is not super likely to happen.

this guy thinks Valve is working on a device likes Apple's, basically a steam deck that fits on your head or some such

Steam has a headset right now. I am keeping watch for the next generation because its a bit old in the tooth atm.
