Until recently, Valve relied on HTC Vive glasses to power SteamVR, but that is changing with the Valve Index announcement. Valve has created its own design of glasses for SteamVR, with the glasses, base station, controls, the use of Lighthouse 2.0 technology and an updated product that offers high resolution.

Valve Index uses two 1440 × 1600 pixel screens that support refresh rates of 80Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, and 144Hz (experimental), with a design that ensures that it reduces the 'screen door' effect significantly, while offering a field of view that is 20% wider than that of the HTC Vive. The glasses also have two front cameras, SteamVR 2.0 sensors, and require USB 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 connections for power and display connectivity.

There are also two 37.5mm speakers in the glasses, which are designed to deliver high-quality sound while ensuring long-term comfort.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
- Operating system: Windows 10, SteamOS, Linux Processor: Dual-Core with Hyper-Threading Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, AMD RX480 Network: Broadband Internet connection Additional notes: DisplayPort port (version 1.2) and USB port (2.0+) available Required

The only thing that is playing against Valve Index is its price. While HTC and Oculus are struggling to offer cheaper VR glasses (HTC offers one for $ 500), Valve breaks into the market with $ 1, 000 glasses for the entire kit.
Valve is also selling the two remotes and the base station separately, which can be used with Vive as well. Valve Index will be available on June 28.
