The [[Valve Index]] is the first [[HMD]] offered by [[Valve]], the company behind the popular gaming platform [[Steam]]. The full kit comes with a headset, two controllers, and 2 base stations. The headset requires a connection to a PC. The controllers were formerly known as Knuckles and enable finger tracking. The actual controllers are strapped to your hand, not needing to be held. The base stations are an enhancement to the Lighthouse tracking system offered by [[HTC Vive]].<ref name="alpha">https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/28/19102584/valve-index-steamvr-headset-review-shipping-today</ref> | |||
