The Valve Index virtual reality headset is few and far between in terms of hardware capabilities, but in the future, Gabe Newell may release an even more advanced version of the device.
UploadVR has discovered that Valve has opened a new job opening looking for people for the position of computer vision software engineer who will help the company “make the next steps in the world of virtual reality “. The announcement does not directly mention the work on Valve Index 2 , but apparently, it is about her.
“At Valve, we are pushing the boundaries of virtual reality (VR) experiences. We are looking for versatile, self-directed software engineers in computer vision who can help us achieve the next steps in VR with millions of customers world-wide.
The main scope of this position is to prototype, ship, and support consumer gaming products leveraging visual-inertial tracking (HMD and controllers), camera passthrough, environment understanding, eye tracking, and hand tracking.“
The original Valve Index went on sale in June 2019, starting at $ 499 for the base kit, and has long been at the top of the Steam Weekly Chart . At the moment, Valve has shifted priority from VR towards the Steam Deck portable PC console and has not yet officially announced plans for the Valve Index 2.
