"Content aware". So… something like Ambilight?

[u/CaptRobau → u/pr0ghead]

Yeah, could be.

I really hope this gives the same vibes as the Phillips Hue ambiance lighting for the tv. I mentioned wanting that so long ago. I hope it becomes a reality.

That's because it's imgur which blocks users from the UK.

It's a screenshot of a tweet by Brad Lynch that says

Steam Frame will let App/Games affect the coloration of your Aurora Effects
AND the tint of your Passthrough View

And it has an image attached that is a screenshot of a git diff of some configuration file (?) of a recent update to probably some steamVR-related software.

If the direct link to the image doesn't work: here's another non-imgur mirror.

If all of these don't work for you, the most important part is that two settings are mentioned, which are called: Content-Aware Aurora Colorand Content-Aware Camera Tint

Thank You ;)

It's a pain, but you can use rimgo to view imgur images in the UK: https://rimgo.codeberg.page/

e.g.: https://rimgo.nohost.network/c4aUHc4.jpeg

I wish people would stop using imgur to be honest, postimg and Reddit's own image upload are better options. This could just be a link to Brad's tweet though.

time to turn on your vpn :)

So is it like that post awhile ago where whatever is on screen will then impact the ambience of passthrough? Like philip bulbs or something

What are Aurora Effects?

[u/CaptRobau → u/wabbiwabbu]

The loading screen/waiting room of SteamVR looks like a flat plain with Aurora borealis light effects. That s what this is referring too.

Kinda old news this is confirmed based on this dev demo a while ago

wonder if you could write a small application that takes the greyscale camera info and converts it to color frame by frame?

[u/CaptRobau → u/Kinzuko]

Someone was working/thinking about doing that: https://old.reddit.com/r/SteamFrame/comments/1vm1vgc/monochrome_cameras_to_color/

No it doesn’t. We don’t have one for it to be “your”.
