Valve says that Steam Frame won’t be able to display traditional (‘flat’) games in stereoscopic 3D at launch, but they are looking into the feature for future development.

Valve spokesperson told Road to VR that they’re not promising to support stereoscopic 3D for flat games but they are looking into it.

The company further said it’s considering a system-level implementation that could display any stereoscopic 3D content, whether it’s stereoscopically rendered games, videos, or photos. Should the stereoscopic 3D feature be built, Valve told me it would “be our goal” to be able to display such content when streamed from a PC or rendered directly on the headset itself.

    I had some video glasses ages ago that could do that too. Like 15 years ago. I can’t recall a single game without problems. UI was the biggest issue. Often UI elements were at nonsensical 3D positions, and while you wouldn’t notice this on a normal screen, the glasses tried to render them in the center of my brain…
