12 months will pass with me forgetting that I have a blog.. I did a quick write up about SteamVR Home no longer being the default now that the Steam Frame has launched: vrgameworlds.blogspot.com/2026/09/stea...

SteamVR Home Still Exists

My favourite thing to do in VR is to explore and create virtual environments of real world locations. This form of virtual tourism is someth...

This is very pretty looking, I feel the need to run into it.

Hmm. I guess the community page for SteamVR is not in use much, I only got to it as I was linked from Valve's dev wiki. It hasn't seen a new post since 2018 😅 Still contains imagery for the original Steam Controller and Machine. Whelp! steamcommunity.com/steamvr

The Walkman and lamp combo is really cool and I don’t know why. Nice work!

None of the demos of the Steam Frame had SteamVR Home which is my main jam, I was hoping for some revamp but perhaps they will stop using it all together.

steam frame announcement impressions: a bit disappointed by the grayscale passthrough, resolution, and soft strap without on-ears. none of those are deal breakers though. the expansion port with camera mipi and pci-e is very interesting, as is the headstrap modularity.

I was hoping for hand tracking too. Also SteamVR Home was not present at the demos, I hope they don't expire it.

Reposting some pigeon art because I've been working on sewing together a pigeon-themed blanket today.

Digital art close-up of a very fluffy pigeon from the top down, in a vague heart shape. It's very pink and lavender, surrounded by tinier bits of fluff and feather.

Digital illustration of a human hand holding a feral pigeon that is grey with dark and lighter spots and a light head. In its beak is a red thread that holds a golden, vintage key. The thread loops around the fingers on the hand.

Of the VR headsets I’ve owned the Bigscreen Beyond 2 has the worst initial setup of all. The extreme fine tuning required of sub-millimeter IPD changes per lens and the trial & error software settings took me two days.. And yet, for all that, lo I have beheld the most immersive virtual reality ever.

The water was inspired by Sea of Thieves (though could never look as good 🌊🥵) and the best way I could find to have large waves in Source 2 was rigging 644 bones... but hey it worked and I am very proud of the result. 😊

I had to take the 900 photos I needed for this map during brief clear moments between flurries of snowfall. You can still make out some white dots on the model's textures which is some snow. ❄️📷

I'm very happy with how the photogrammetry turned out and how optimized I was able to get it. I know SteamVR Home environments may be niche in VR now but I hope the people who do try it enjoy it.
