Hey guys,

I received my Frame a few days ago and I had some time to play with it and I wanted to tell you about a few things that I found while playing with it, in hope that some of you find this useful :)

  • Camera passthrough can be colored. By that I mean the monochrome camera passthough can have a color filter applied, it has a bluish purplish filter by default, but you can make it green, red, orange or whatever color!
  • SteamVR Home is nowhere to be found. There is an option in the Advanced Options in VR Settings, but it doesn’t do anything. I really wish Valve would port it, and let us install SteamVR Home on our Frame (Might be outdated, but I still like it).
  • When you are in darkness, and the Frame turn its camera into the UV/IR mode, it has a cool effect on the controller, the shell looks like it’s transparent and you can see the inside of your controllers (I wanted to take a screenshot but the quality is so bad I gave up ahah)

I’m sure I’ll have more things to say later, I just want to find the weird and niche features of this thing that no one talks about. Feel free to share yours if you have any! :)

    I just got mine yesterday, right before going on a trip, so I’m trying to get some time in at the hotel, but I can’t wait to really sit down and get into it.

    I can already tell this could be my favorite way to play/stream 2D games, just from a comfort perspective.

    I’m happy to answer questions or test things out on people’s behalf though so let me know. Be aware that this is my first VR system overall, so I’m not sure how much to be impressed by the frame itself.
