Valve's new VR headset is the Valve Index, dated May 2019

Searched and didn't find anything, and Valve gave me a 10-minute heads up, so here's my story:

Valve Corporation's long-rumored VR headset is finally real. After allying with HTC to launch the Vive as a SteamVR product in 2016, Valve has moved ahead with plans to launch its own headset, the Valve Index, in "May 2019."
The news came on Friday in the form of a single teaser image, shown above, of a headset with the phrase "Valve Index" written on its front. The front of the headset is flanked by at least two sensors. This shadow-covered hardware matches the leaked headset reported by UploadVR in November of last year. That report hinted to Valve's headset supporting a wider 135-degree FOV, as opposed to the roughly 110-degree FOV of the original HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

It says a lot more than Valve's source site, which just contains a single image.

Decrease my FOV if old.

Whoa what
Where did this come from?

It'll be interesting to see the price + overall specs. I feel like, especially with stuff like WMR, VR is getting a *lot* more accessible these days.

 

[I Don't Like]

Shit, nice. I'm waiting to upgrade my VIVE Pro to the Cosmos but might check this out depending on the specs. How the hell is there NO info though when it's coming so soon?

Guess I should hold off on getting the Rift S until I see this

Spoiler

not like it's out yet anyway

It's happening!

Chances they go for inside out tracking instead of light houses?

 

[low-G]

More internal cameras? *barf*

Well I hope it at least out specs the Rift S...

 

[Gobias-Ind]

Well the Half Life VR rumor must be true then

Fascinated to see what price and spec this comes in at. Also really interesting to see Valve just go this alone now. PCVR is an an interesting place at the moment. Seems to be quite a broad spectrum.

Really excited to find out more!

pretty sure it's not a rumor but openly planned, no?

Well glad I have a Pimax to hold me over. I'm guessing this will be insanely expensive.
