## Key points

- Framedepth adds stereoscopic 3D to browser videos on Steam Frame.
- The effect is subtle but makes viewing more engaging.
- Installation requires developer mode and several manual steps.

## Summary

A free Chrome plugin called framedepth converts standard videos into stereoscopic 3D when watched in Chrome on Valve’s Steam Frame headset. The writer says the effect adds a modest but enjoyable sense of immersion to YouTube videos, reviving some of the appeal of once-popular 3D viewing.

The plugin was made by GitHub user guix8 and can be adjusted through a Chrome menu, including a slider that strengthens the effect. Installation takes several steps: the Steam Frame must be in developer mode, Chrome must be installed through SteamOS, and the plugin must be downloaded and installed using terminal commands; Chrome’s extension developer mode is also required.
