Valve open-sources the Steam Machine e-ink front display
Valve has published the design files and instructions for the Steam Machine's e-ink front display under the MIT license, allowing others to build their own version. The project, now called the "Inkterface," lists the required components and includes an assembly video on Valve's GitLab. The article suggests third-party accessory makers may eventually offer pre-built versions.
