At Valve, we are pushing the boundaries of virtual reality (VR) experiences. We are looking for versatile, self-directed software engineers in computer vision who can help us achieve the next steps in VR with millions of customers world-wide.

The main scope of this position is to prototype, ship, and support consumer gaming products leveraging visual-inertial tracking (HMD and controllers), camera passthrough, environment understanding, eye tracking, and hand tracking.
 
Saw on TV that Meta is suppose to be announcing some high-end headset.

But the reporters on CNBC were snarking, my Rift collects dust. They talked about how they tried going dancing and going to standup comic shows in the Metaverse.

Asked where's the killer app because those activities aren't compelling to them.

Meta/facebook is the media's punching bag now. So I wouldn't put to much into what they say. I also don't think the greater market is really important right now. As long as the user base stays solid more money will enter vr and with that headsets will continue to get better.

The new meta headset is pretty damn good. I think it will get a lot of people excited. We will have to see how the higher prices affect things
 
sigh, VR is the only experience I am missing in videogames. I never tried a VR headset, nor I've been very interested in the experience, although I dabbled into AR.

Still a great use for the extra computational power of that beast.
 
The vram requirement for cp2077 in vr is ridiculous. Or maybe it's Nvidia being stingy, only providing 8GB for rtx 3070
 

Pretty interesting despite it being Linus.

Clarity is really good.

One thing I like is that the headset will measure your IPD and then prompt you to set the correct physical IPD on the headset itself.

Controllers each have their own Snapdragon processor since they also process the environment and do their own inside out tracking.

Speaking of mapping the environment, the headset is constantly doing that in real time since it's also meant to be used as an AR device.

The facial tracking is actually pretty good.

I'm actually relatively tempted to get this for work related purposes.

Don't know if it's mentioned in that video, but they removed one of the depth sensors at the 11th hour. Apparently it could see through clothes. I'd imagine it Meta HQ it was even more terrifying when Zuck and other execs walked past.
