Maybe - I'm looking forward to hear it from Valve.

I think the evidence is too strong given the patents and the logo. Look at the Logo again, it's a user behind two lenses. I guess the name will make sense when the marketing starts.

After adjusting the lighting a bit more you can see that the front face plate is certainly semi translucent.  There appears to be a couple more sensors behind the face plate?

Someone mentioned that the centers of the green rings (see below) probably are for outside-in tracking - and that the cameras in the front have bad angles for inside-out tracking and therefore may be pass-through cameras or for controller-free hand tracking.

This guessing game is so much fun! - It'll be so boring when Valve provides us with the correct answers!  😄

Well, by then there's probably a new upcoming super-secret HMD to explore  😉

The big reveal I'm waiting for is the price. Unless Valve have had a change of heart it's going to be expensive. Or maybe HTC caused the other headsets to be expensive. Will this have HTC displays in it or is that partnership over?
