VR lader til at være kommet for at blive, og Valve har tænkt sig at give den hele armen. Ikke bare har de netop udgivet et VR-headset sammen med HTC, faktisk arbejder en tredjedel af det gigantiske firma på VR.
Dette blev afsløret via et indlæg på Valves jobside, hvor der står følgende:
"There are a number of teams around the planet doing great things in this new space, it is truly exciting. But we all owe a huge debt to those in academia and niche industries that kept the dream alive after the 90s VR implosion. People like Mark Bolas at USC where Palmer Lucky got his start and Jaron Lanier now at MSR who popularised the term Virtual Reality and has never stopped thinking about the future of digitally mediated reality.
I was super fortunate to start at Valve right around the time Michael Abrash had begun the AR/VR research team.It was a much smaller team then than it is now, it has since grown to encompass about a third of the company, but the key individuals that solved most of the really hard technological problems and facilitated this generation of consumer headsets are still here working on the next generation.
Digitally mediated reality is one of those incredibly impactful technologies, short of human space flight or life sciences I can't imagine working on something of more significance right now."
Dette betyder at Valve måske vil begynde at udvikle flere spil, som er noget de gradvist har bevæget sig væk fra siden udgivelsen af Portal 2.
