From PC World: Remember the good ol' days when Valve and Oculus were buddy-buddy and sharing all sorts of virtual reality R&D back and forth? It seems like those days might be over, if a recent Valve post is anything to go by—the company revealed it's bringing "SteamVR" with it to GDC next week, along with an updated version of the Steam Controller and "new living room devices" a.k.a. I guess whatever Steam Machines are called nowadays.
Last time I spoke to Oculus they said (paraphrasing) that there wasn't a ton of collaboration going on with Valve at the time because most of Valve's VR experts had left to join Oculus. It seems Valve wasn't resting on its laurels though, with a "previously-unannounced SteamVR hardware system" set to debut at the show.
That's all we know at the moment. Valve will be demoing its dev kit during GDC and developers can sign up now.
