Now THIS is Spatial Computing

We finally got Valve's Gamescope Linux compositor running in Steam VR! This is a big deal and I wanted to explain in full detail why that is

This is basically a follow of a previous video known as "Deckard is Valve's Spatial Computer"

You have no idea how nostalgic and warm and fuzzy it makes me feel to see the classic Linux glxgears running in a VR window. 😢 In the early days of this century, this is what I used to check if 3D acceleration was working on my crappy GPU with my self-compiled Linux drivers... This is so nerdy and so cool.

Love your content, Brad. You're quickly becoming the go-to resource for anything XR/VR/AR. The fact that you care about open source, linux and all of these innovations makes this content doubly more valuable. The future is exciting!

I'm so excited for Valve's spacial computer. Honestly the momentum they are carrying for it is so exciting.

Holy crap, finally. I've been waiting for this video! I hope the Deckard is a stand alone AND can be tethered. Maybe a powerful PC can handle the game, i.e. VR environment and the Deckard can handle the overlayed PC work, or vice versa. So for those of us that want to just go to a VRChat world to do computer work the computer work or VR environment won't take a hit!

8:30 Thank you for repping the stereoscopic game output. Something I love about XR headsets is the promise of being able to make older games look more amazing than ever.

Thanks Brad, copium was running low 🙌

[RidgeVR]

Thank you so much for the dose of gamescopium bradley

Since I saw "VR-OS" from Matthaeus Krenn I was excited for spatial computing. And if the rumors about all you show about the Deckard, SteamOS and other tech from Valve are true I'll order the Deckard as fast as I can if it gets out. Doesn't matter to me if, in comparison to Apple, it will be only for nerds or tech-enthusiasts, because I am one. 😊

This makes me hopeful also. Id like to build a virtual house where the windows are real webcams. You could show your own or put in something really exotic like someones aquarium, space telescope or himalaya.

You know what I like about your vids Brad? If you make one, it's at the level that I am interested in. There is a lot of boring stuff that isn't critical enough. Also I like your "I want to believe" poster : )

I would have love to have a customizable old-school game room in which I can put a bunch of retro consoles and arcade decks. Make it social and invite your friends over for some fun. Simulate a real "LAN party" where everybody is sitting around a table with their own machine and yelling at each other while virtually drinking and smoking. :)

thx for featuring Nova's stardustxr project ^-^ ✨

Playing flat games in rendered stereoscopic mode is what got me into VR in the first place back when the dk2 had just been released.

Using a pc without having a monitor its a huge thing

The emulation would be also cool for testing applications on different devices

For example you could test how your web app is displayed and looks while holding an iPad, without having one

[SoggyMicrowaveNugget]

I desperately want Valve to revisit vr home. Treating it like a true social and desktop replacement, allowing friends to visit and play flat screen games and treat the maps more like Vrchat worlds. What they have is already 1000x more compelling to me than the "Metaverse" ™️ plus the user base is built in.

Saw your tweets and we hoping you would make a video on this. Thank you for my fresh dose of copium.

[MrVRVoice]

That was a good hit, you’re my number one copium dealer Brad.

Really would love to see some cameras slapped onto the front of the beyond, and try implementing Monado's Visual SLAM and hand tracking as they did for the index and many other hmds.

"This is the future!" *promptly emulates CRT TVs*

[StubbyPhillips]

Sounds like the opposite of Apple's precious, closed off, locked up stuff.
Excellent!
