Today was a big day for gamers as Valve just introduced three products: the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the Steam Frame. When you add this alongside the Steam Deck, I think it's safe to say that Valve is about to win the next console generation.

It was I think in the tested interview with norm and the optics guy when he asked about the lack of diopters, and after explaining why they didn't add diopter adjustment (astigmatism), the engineer mentions that they've been able to make good corrective inserts and that they're working on making that available. It doesn't sound definite but it seems like it's part of the current plan.

Well, that's cool. It'd be a good reason to upgrade my headaet if inserts are available.

Ignore this, I was confused: ~~(BTW, diopters adjust for near- and far-sightedness. Astigmatism is where the cornea or lens is irregularly shaped, and needs special lenses to correct, not just a focusing mechanism, which is all a diopter is.)~~

Yes that's probably what they (and I) was getting at when they said that astigmatism is a big reason why they didn't add diopters, since it would be a lot of work to only solve it for people without astigmatism.

I assumed anyone interested in glasses or lens inserts would know what I meant when I said astigmatism is the reason they didn't do diopters 😅

I mainly have just astigmatism so diopters don't do anything for me.

Ohhhhhh, I misunderstood what you were saying when you mentioned astigmatism in parentheses. I assumed you were referring to what diopters were for and not why they didn't bother adding them.

I gotcha no biggie! Trying to be terse and clear is hard
