  "account": "A bassist showcased their Steam Frame headset during a Halloween-themed live gig, playing Thundercat's \"Them Changes\" for a full 45 minutes. Midtech, the user who shared the video on the Steam Frame subreddit, noted that only one person asked about the Frame. The bassist wore the Valve VR headset for an extended period, powered by a battery pack in their left pocket. The show featured a band with members donning weird costumes, including one in a onesie and another with wings, giving the Steam Frame-wearing bassist a Daft Punk-like appearance. Midtech used an Arcturus Vision Camera for color passthrough on the headset, which was set to performance mode with a 144 Hz refresh rate. They appreciated the headset's light weight and great field of view but found it challenging to see the frets on their bass. Midtech enjoyed documenting their performance and experiencing it spatially later. They also appreciated the potential of having lyrics or a score displayed within the headset instead of flipping through them on a music stand. Despite the headset's limited battery life and relative discomfort, Midtech found the experience an oddity and a unique way to view the world through a bassist's perspective.",
