The Steam Brick doesn't look like much on the surface, but when I saw that the creator was able to plug in the Xreal Air 2 Pro AR glasses to his Steam Brick device, which is a modified version of Valve's Steam Deck with no screen, it made my mind wander. Sure, you have to Bluetooth a controller to the Steam Brick, but this essentially makes it possible for Valve to create their own portable VR headset. If they decide to do such a thing as a result of Crastinator's concept, I think they should bring him on board to help bring it to life. Then all you would have to do is connect your standard controller to it or VR controls minus all the cords. It's not set in stone since the glasses would have to be up to par, but this is a great start to something amazing in my opinion.
Justin Diaz from Android Headlines brought mod creator Crastinator's concept to light. The Steam Brick is a smaller, lighter version of the Steam Deck, designed for enhanced portability. By removing the screen and built-in controllers, Crastinator created a device that is about a third of the size of the original Steam Deck and approximately 24% lighter. This makes it much easier to carry around, especially for those who travel frequently.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Steam Brick is its potential for portable VR gaming. By connecting the Xreal Air 2 Pro AR glasses and a Bluetooth controller, users can enjoy a fully immersive gaming experience without the need for a traditional screen. This opens up the possibility for Valve to develop their own portable VR headset, inspired by Crastinator's innovative concept.
Imagine a future where all you need is a compact device like the Steam Brick, a pair of high-quality AR glasses, and a wireless controller to dive into your favorite games. No more bulky setups or tangled cords—just seamless, immersive gaming on the go. While the technology isn't quite there yet, Crastinator's Steam Brick is a promising step in the right direction.
If Valve decides to pursue this idea, they should definitely consider bringing Crastinator on board to help bring it to life. His ingenuity and creativity have already shown what can be achieved with a bit of imagination and technical know-how. The Steam Brick may not be perfect, but it's a fantastic starting point for something truly groundbreaking.
