Valve's Michael Abrash has
posted the slides from his Steam Developers Day talk about Valve's work on
bringing headset-based virtual reality to gaming (thanks
IncGamers). Here's word:
It was a lot of fun talking at Steam
Developer Days; the whole event was a blast, the virtual reality talks drew a
large, enthusiastic crowd, and everyone I talked to had good questions and
observations. Here are the slides from my talk, in PDF form. They include the
text of the talk as the per-slide notes; I don’t ad-lib when I give talks, so
the notes match what I said almost exactly.
Here are some of my previous posts that discuss points from the talk in more
detail.
You may also find the slides from my Game Developers Conference talk in 2013
to be useful.
Joe Ludwig’s slides from his talk about Steam VR are here, and related links can
be found here, here, and here
As I said at the end of my talk, I look forward to continuing the conversation
with you in the comments!

Did about a million things in what was an exhausting Saturday, but today I turn
my full attention to my couch potato duties to watch the games on this NFL
championship weekend.
It's number one versus number two in each
conference, and (oops, I was confused, the 49ers were number five.) I
would say both are the dream games one would pick at the outset of the season
(rooting interests aside, of course). Brady vs. Manning/Welker vs. New England,
etc., followed by another Harbaugh vs. Carroll battle featuring the two best
defenses remaining in the playoffs. As T.O. said once or twice over the years,
get your popcorn ready!
