So, I was just rummaging through the chaos that is the XR world and stumbled upon some weirdly juicy stuff. Valve, the folks behind those cool headsets, are apparently cooking up something rad called ‘Deckard’. At first, I was like, “What’s the big deal?” But then, some insider spilled the beans about its design being, um, mind-blowingly amazing? What even is that? Either they’ve nailed it or just have epic PR skills.
This guy, Stan Larroque—ever heard of him? Founder of Lynx, the XR company—he’s out there on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter, or whatever it’s called now) dropping hints about how he’s seen the design himself. Why does this matter? No clue, but it caught my attention.
What’s really wild, neither Stan nor Lynx, his brainchild, signed any NDA. Bold move, right? Like he’s walking a tightrope, whispering about it without sharing too much. Well, except one nugget where he’s all like, Lynx and Valve might be sharing suppliers. Oh, and PS, he isn’t bitter when leaks happen, just slightly miffed or something. I mean, aren’t we all just tired of secrets?
On the rumor front, production’s apparently kicking off in 2026. That’s if you believe Stan’s tea-spill. Although, there’s chatter from some data miner dude, ‘Gabe Follower’, swearing it’s 2025. Prices? Try $1,200. Maybe. Math never was my strong suit. Add to that, Brad Lynch, this VR analyst voice, says Valve’s been importing secret stuff to build these headsets stateside. Suspenseful, right?
Jumping around timelines here—July 2024 had whispers about Meta planning its own dazzling tech. Two, if rumors are your thing. Called ‘Pismo Low’ and ‘Pismo High’. Creative, huh? Can only imagine the brainstorming sessions. And Apple’s snooty silence about their VR moves keeps everyone hanging. Meanwhile, Samsung’s prepping this ambitious Project Moohan, designed to level up XR experiences with Android brawn.
Now, back to Valve. They’re typically the quiet types, rolling things out without much hullabaloo. You could wake up tomorrow, open Steam, and boom—there’s the headset. Or not. Who knows? But I’ll be here, eyes wide open, waiting for that unpredictable moment when the next big thing casually announces itself. Wild times, folks. Wild times.
