I have word from a personal source that Valve has no plans for a new headset in 2019, but they could be wrong. There has also been rumblings in the media about Valve firing a bunch of their hardware people. Do you have any sources with more details about this 2019 headset?

Other than the leaked photos from last year I don't think there's been any new details. But they're clearly working on a headset; those photos are way too detailed and unique to be faked.

Any sense of what might be going on? A reference design for other manufacturers maybe? Judging by the small iterations between the latest developer versions of the Knuckles controllers you'd have to expect those to be released fairly soon. Seems like putting out a headset along with the controllers would make sense.

Only the word from my own personal source.

But really, we are only getting closer to a new headset as time goes on. It is inevitable.

I mean, we're also getting closer to the heat death of the universe, but I'm not making any plans about that.

Cool. Well I hope your source is right and mine is wrong since I'd love to see a successor to the Vive in 2019 but so far things aren't looking great.
