Valve Index VR headset: Everything we know so far

Will the Valve Index be high-end or mid-range?

Valve has started to give us an idea of what its Virtual Reality (VR) headset is going to look like. Called Valve Index, it looks like a high-end headset to compete with other Steam VR headsets like the HTC Vive, and the Oculus Rift.

Right now, there is not a lot of information, so there will be a lot of guesswork in this article until we can replace it with hard facts.

What is the Valve Index?

The Valve Index is Valves first foray into the VR headset space and is set to compete against other high-end VR headsets on the Steam VR platform.

It looks to be the exact headset that Road to VR leaked several months ago with very little in the way of physical changes.

What will it work with?

As Valve, and Steam are primarily PC platforms, the likely hood is that the Index will be for PC only. We don't know yet whether the Index is a stand alone headset or a tethered one, so anything is possible, but Valve has made Steam VR the place to be for tethered headsets, so they will likely continue that trend.

What's hidden in the dark?

Utilizing our amazing Photoshop abilities — we turned the brightness up — we can see a little more details in the teaser picture Valve has given us on its website.
