Rumors of Valve's new VR headset have been circulating since last year when a job listing revealed the company was looking for a specialist in this area, and in December, Product Designer Greg Coomer said that it was "working on a new VR headset lately."
Now, content creator Brad Lynch has found certification for some kind of low-power wireless device by Valve that requires a 5GHz WLAN. The information was published on the Korean Radio Research Agency website.
The device holds a model name 1030, while Index – Valve's existing VR headset – was numbered 1007, and Steam Deck was 1010.
The same organization also certified Quest 3 and HTC VIVE XR Elite with similar descriptions, so chances are this is actually a new VR tech from Valve. At the same time, it could be a controller or Steam Deck 2, although it's a bit too early for it.
