That’s no Valve VR headset.

Valve Prism: the standalone Valve VR headset we’ve been waiting for? This convincing-at-first-glance site shows a chunky, heavy (850 grams!) headset with Vision Pro-caliber Micro OLED displays and claims of untethered PC-like graphics performance.

A quick jaunt into the site’s HTML code, though, repeatedly suggests the name of the company is “VaIve.” As in Vaive. As in, it includes a sans-serif letter that rhymes with “eye.”

The website also claims it offers “50-point lips, jaw, teeth, and tongue tracking.”

Update, 7:30PM ET: “Nope, this is NOT us,” Valve confirms.

Here we have a shockingly-impressive (and definitely fake) Valve VR headset.
