I'm not sure if the Steam Frame hits any corners in this bouncing screensaver, but maybe if I watch long enough the headset will come down in price

A Reddit user named Kebakent has crafted a Windows screensaver featuring artwork of the Valve Steam Frame headset and its controllers, bouncing around in a continuous loop. For PlayStation VR2 enthusiasts who may not be able to afford the $1,059 starting price of the Steam Frame, this screensaver could provide a tantalizing virtual glimpse of the coveted gadget.
The screensaver is entirely free and open-source, available on GitHub. Users can easily download the .scr file to their Windows system and configure various settings such as object size, movement speed, rotation speed, and brightness to their liking.
Kebakent confirmed they had obtained permission from Valve to use the Steam Frame artwork for this non-commercial project. This follows Valve's recent decision to release the CAD files for the Steam Frame, Steam Controller, and Puck under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike license, encouraging users to create and modify their own hardware designs based on the Valve designs.
While the screensaver does not offer a realistic VR experience, it allows users to admire the Steam Frame's design and fantasize about owning one without needing to spend over a grand on the headset. The Steam Frame community continues to showcase its creativity and enthusiasm for Valve's hardware innovations.
