Valve Steam Machine, Desktop SteamOS, Steam Frame VR, & Controller | ft. Engineering Discussion

Video Description

SUPPORT THE AI DYSTOPIA REPORT SERIES: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ai-dystopia Valve today is announcing its Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR headset, and new Steam Controller. Alongside these announcements, the company is moving SteamOS to what is functionally a desktop platform while also adapting it to ARM for the Frame VR headset. The new Steam Controller makes some major iterations on the original, with a particular focus on TMR thumbsticks and connectivity. In this video, we run through the details of Valve's new hardware and interview many of the company's engineers working on the products. Engineering interviews and discussions talk about signal trace routing, power delivery, ESD protections, acoustics, thermals, and more. We have at least two other videos coming up from this visit as well, likely immediately, so subscribe to catch our Steam Frame thermal, power, and acoustics engineering interview next.
