At least it doesn´t look like a Vive prototype anylonger.

This indepth article from november 2018 pretty much summons up "what we know" about the leaked photos up until now I think:

Also, Valve's marketing have always been trolling in itself. Personally I love it.
 It wouldn't surprise me if they release specs, maybe even software title's on monday April 1st.

Be good, die great !

Liked this part especially:

"Upload VR’s David Heaney claims that his sources say that the headset will have the same resolution of Vive Pro (2880×1600) and 135° FOV. Valve News Network says that the resolution will be bigger than Vive Pro and that FOV will be 150°. "

Seems like most believe in 135 fov - but 150 would be amazing. Then I'd be forced to start modding Skyrim!  😄

150 would be too much and just another Pimax honestly unless they have eye tracking. 135 is kind of the cap or edge of what current GPUs will be able to handle in terms of 10s, 20s, and 30s cards. Anything higher than you really do run the risk no one ever buying it other than the top 1%.

Interesting how everything may turn out, if profits aren't there - probably not a David vs. Goliat fight, but it could be...  😄

Some people on reddit suggest that it will have a handtracking module as well.

So long as windows MR are sticking g with 2 camera inside out then I am not going near one of those.
Also whilst oculus is my preferred vr store front steam is head and shoulders above the windows vr infrastructure and I wod want the majority of titles I play to be natively supported and not reliant almost solely on wrappers.like most windows MR users are.
I really want to stick with oculus bit depending on what this new valve hmd is I will probably jump ship .... Hopefully if openXR takes off I can get back to buying from oculus store sooner rather than .later however
Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂

That's interesting if true, I figured there had to be more to that slot. I thought it might be for some kind of hand tracking device or something.
