This is crazy, scary yet beautiful , where AI can animate and create amazing /trippy visual on the go based on previously created animated visual . I wonder if we are entering an era similar to what sampling did to music, the good and the bad…all of it. https://t.co/HTrTnYfH6c

As part of the Asia launch press event, we made the design lab into a showroom of development history. My favorite are the playable prototypes: bootable Deck family tree from mid-2019 to now, from a couple of hand-built units onto gradual mass production.

A Quick preview of the many iterations behind #steamdeck industrial design and development . Overall comfort and reachability of primary vs secondary controls was our main focus. #userresearch #anthropometry #research #id #industrialdesign #process

Time to share some of the process behind #steamdeck industrial design : early sketches and research ! #id #industrialdesign #process #gaming

[benoit collette @bnko]

One of the early #steamdeck prototype we worked on, Some of the design details from that early version are still present on Steamdeck, but let's be honest, it wasn't really comfortable to hold for long play sessions. And look at those tiny joysticks :) #id #industrialdesign

[Pierre-Loup Griffais @Plagman2]

The best part is that they (mostly) all still boot, serving as an exciting reminder of how far things have come since.

This one has a Picasso APU, at about half of the GPU power of the final Deck. The flatter ergo was an interesting experiment and taught us a ton about comfort.

[benoit collette @bnko]

Wow.. After working for so long on every single design details, ergonomy and overall identity of the steamdeck, it's pretty mindblowing to see a GIANT version of it. 2 days until Tokyo Game Show 2022! !
