I also did that thing, but I can't tell I love this book I consider it a guilty pleasure, in food terms something between oven reheated refrigerated super market pizza and KFC chicken. Let's be honest, this was a really fun, crappy book. :D
@@koreboredom4302 same xD. I would be like:back in MAH times we played with consoles and computers... And vr wasn't such a big deal for gamers and now ya'll just living somewhere else which reminds me of oasis! Grandpa what is that? A dream...
What the heck lol. When he said he didn't think VR would catch on. That's maybe the craziest statement I've ever heard. You can literally live any fantasy you have and experience it in first person. How would that not catch on? Chances are 15 years from now most of our schooling is taught in a VR environment because it's so convenient and so cheap comparred to actually building experiences. Instead of telling children to memorize the names of the planets you can just take them to them and show them each one. Like the Magic Schoolbus show but IRL.
So much VR tech is being developed, it's crazy. There's so many things being made that I dont feel as though we'll have to wait too long for something like the oasis experience! Honestly, it's crazy.
at this point we already do have the technology, theres several different companies that make gloves, theres entire suits you can wear that actually give sensation of touch (with plans to add temperature and a whole other variety of immersive feedbacks), leg trackers, and omni-directional treadmills. All we need now are games that actually implement these things in order to make an entirely immersive experience. (and making it more affordable would be a nice plus too lol)
You actually might be able too. People have developed semi working omnidirectional treadmills, and a vibration sensing vests. As VR continually grows better by the minute, you could have that experience in ten-twenty years.
its weird to think that the htc vive now is like the brick phone from 1984 and now today we can carry phones everywhere whenever we want just imagine vr in a couple years
I could 100% see this being sold as not so much a pair of gloves but an adjustable harness that has the powersupply in the back and is worn like a backpack. Gloves connect directly to the power in the back, as does the headset (or have a place to easily mount the current vive wireless battery pack), and just like that pretty much you're entire upper body is now in VR. If you wanted to really go the extra mile later down the line, you could also theoretically add knee and shin pads to help better track leg movement in room-scale. Not to mention if you implement the same tech in the shin/knee pads, imagine how terrifying it would be to be playing a horror game and in the dark you suddenly feel something brush up against your leg...
I've seen prototypes of VR for being able to move in place, they tried to use a sphere with that had an axis, and moved like a "Treadmill" mentioned above, was pretty neat
I actually wonder if they will make a whole body suit version of the glove and you can feel everything in the simulation like bumping into things, picking stuff up etc.
Imagine an entire full-body suit like this so when you walk into a virtual wall you get hit by a rubber paddle that swings up from the ground or something.
You don't need a full-body suit for that. Every movement, every action and everthing your body experiences is all controlled in your brain. Once VR or the next tech can take advantage of that, everything haptic related will seem silly.
I feel like a full dive system like in SAO would be incredible. But I also really like the idea of having to move your body. I personally love video games. But I am also really into fitness, so doing both at the same time would be the better of the two in my opinion.
It's using air bladders, so definitely one of the two. Your homework excercise for today: Estimate the bladder volume, reaction speed and tube diameter and calculate the Reynolds number to see for yourself if it has laminar flow.
I'm by no means as intelligent as the engineers involved in this but adding some sort of micro electrothermal pads to this, simulating temperature would be amazing.
The Fact that you so naturally interacted with the objects once you normalized to the force feedback shows how well the technology has been created. Awesome can't wait to try it .truly awesome.
Mike Metcalf my comments a month late but what you said resonates with me. I feel like we’re in the coming age of rapid technology growth, the infancy of it. Just afraid we won’t be here when the really cool stuff comes out to the public. Which is just a shame.
Yep. Im only 16 so I do think I will be around when at least some of the early consumers models come out. It really is just exciting (and sometimes scary) to see what technology can do!
Mike Metcalf true that. It’s exciting, all the new stuff coming out. Time sure flies by though. Feels like I was 16 yesterday (20 now). Been having existential crises nearly everyday since graduating high school lol.
The work they're doing blows my mind. It looks like a world like Oasis is possible sooner than we thought it would. Just imagine a pair of Virtual Reality glasses, a pair of VR gloves, possible a vest too. all technology miniaturised and light weight, un-tethered. Amazing.
Abhinav lol, we are already working it for a while, just a few technicalities that still need to get out of the way, but we have been working on it for the last couple of years
I just want a full body suit, with temperature control, to hang myself from the ceiling like a marionette. I think the best part of these gloves is the tape that stops your fingers from going through the virtual object.
Kevin Steen Yeah I’m Ready Player One they have an entire Haptic Suit and they move around on a round treadmill, which senses which way they will move, and moves the other way
This is the future of VR which is the future of gaming which is the future of art. But jokes aside, I'm really interested in that movement-restraining feature applied to arms, so you can simulate realistic swordfighting without being able to pass your sword through an enemy like butter.
Murad Beybalaev I'm extremely hyped for something like that such as sao based game. I know the anime is trash but the game concept is really great. Sadly we'd probably be dead before that happens
Soro / Sky Technology has, In history, advanced faster and faster as time goes on. So I wouldn’t put it past us to think it’s possible in just a couple of years. Like ffs, people are making perfect clones of animals. Just a decade or so ago, when that concept was tried, the cloned animal didn’t even survive.
cristian morejon animals are not like humans. And I'm not saying clone I'm saying transfer. If cloning humans becomes a thing it'll ruin the world anyways
That took a weird turn... The major obstacle for this overall technology becoming mainstream is the compressor. Big, noisy and expensive - not something everybody wants in their playroom.
Yeah, that's the issue. You'll need some sturdy, powerful machinery to actually resist the full strength of a person, and that means it's gonna be bulky and expensive. So it's not going to be in people's homes in the foreseeable future. Haptic gloves, maybe, but even they need a _lot_ of miniaturization compared to what we see here.
It's odd to think that we will probably be the last generations who have their first sexual experiences in real life. It's much more likely to be in VR in the future.
being against vr is like being against depth perception at this point... sure there are challenges and issues but it already works practically, especially for simulators.
have you ever tried it? or owned it, preferably? it's cumbersome, the setup for each session is annoying, the effect isn't even that good and it leaves you with an head ache.
GraveUypo yes and yes, the htc vive, thing is i tend to agree that the setup is cumbersome if you dont take it into account when packing it away, for me though it is a question of grabbing it off the stand and getting the controllers of the wall, 2 minutes max. What do you mean the effect isnt that good? The screendoor effect or the square vs radial coordinate problem? Both are real issues, especially for fine detail at a distance, but it isnt a big enough issue that i think about it every time i use them, sometimes i do though. As for headaches, that depends on the person and game or experience being played, a lot of this isnt an isdue with the tech as much as the human psychology. I have played a couple of the space survival sims, one made me nauseous, the other not, only real difference was whether or not the helmet followed you head or your body, weirdly the one where the helmet followed the body worked best. A lot of these issues are also very dependant on the computer used, even small performance issues gives huge trouble in vr, viewpoint lag is instant nausea for most people, it also depends a lot on the specific game, i can easily spend 3~4 hours in elite dangerous with little issue, but that is a sim where you are sitting, sometimes if my phone beeps i instinctively look to the dashboard in vr for the phone before getting my head right, it quickly becomes instinctual if you let it.
aside from being cumbersome, the worst thing about the vive to me is the lens. it feels so absolutely smudgy all the time even though it's clean. fresnel lens just don't work for this. then after that, the resolution is terrible. you almost feel like you're underwater in games. specially racing games, which i thought would be the most awesome thing about it because of the wheel already being pretty immersive by itself. i was pretty disappointed with the experience. i have always wanted VR to succeed, but we're not there yet. it's too expensive for what it is right now, and has too many shortcomings. to be honest, the best thing about these headsets are the controllers.
I think just like phone games, vr games just need a few years to figure out what style of game is best for it. There's still a few years of experimentation before we get to it I think... but I feel vr is getting closer.
The screens on the inside are really expensive since they are tiny and high resolution, Then there's all the sensors, and tracking and controllers, its not cheap to make, But at the price rn its totally worth it, Like getting a new console you've always wanted, Also the real minimum specs (I've tested) Is a gtx 770, 3+gb ram & any i5 but encoding while playing wont work well I got 90fps in multiple games with those specs
This is honestly so amazing. I’m a computer science major and I just can’t wait to work alongside a team to create futuristic products like these. Mind blowing, truly.
@@DiacnikYT Because the future of VR will be implanted in your head, literally removing you from reality. Look up Elon Musk and Neuralink, as well as their Deep Mind project. Creepy, but absolutely works, and those types of devices help many different test disabled people.
considering it already had an install base of millions, yeah... it already caught on, it's not really mainstream yet but there is no chance ever of it going away
I can see why he wouldn't, though. Without something like haptic feedback, virtual reality just baseline is kind of a dumb concept. I mean, you spend all this effort to surround yourself in a virtual world, but you can't feel it. You can see or hear it, but that's about it. A big part of someone experiencing a reality is through touch alone, which you can't get with just baseline VR. Sure, I can see and hear all this cool stuff, but when all I feel is the couch/seat I'm using while inside a VR, it kind of ruins the atmosphere. Stuff like this goes a long way to making VR actually something worthwhile to spend time with.
I think it is a relationship to cost of making such things and sales. Maybe it is just still a bit ahead of it's time to be cheaply created and often sold?
Shawn and ziljin, i'm pretty sure you haven't tried Room-Size VR. It's great. You don't have to be fully immersed for it to be an amazing experience. I've tried skying in VR a month ago or something. I could feel the speed and I could feel myself falling. Every single time I touched the ground after falling I bended my knees. The only argument I can accept when talking about this is that it is very expensive. And it is, both the equipment and the machine to run it. All in all, you spend around 1500€. But is it worth it? I'm not sure, but I'm saving for it ^^
The only thing I could think about when he said he couldn’t feel the rain being wet was if they had tech that could accurately control temperature changes on his hand to get that feeling when something is really cold it feels wet but isn’t.
Changing temperature is definitely part of their long term plan. If you check out their site they say they're working towards full body suits using this tech.
We actually can't feel wetness. What we feel is the temperature change between the water/fluid and the air around us. If you have the water temp and ambient temp the same without airflow you will not physically feel it.
I've always wanted gloves that have full control to teach me how to play the piano by just wearing them and having my fingers moved to learn the action to play cords by ear...looks like we are almost there. Very cool video.
I need two of these...hoping that they'll become smaller & maybe a little more lightweight before they come to market though...the price doesn't really matter. :)
He's got 190 main videos and countless others, plus another channel. Go watch one video a day and come back in a couple years when you catch up. You're only allowed to watch ONE a day.
Exactly what Lucas said, Smartereveryday is more of a philosophy then meaning he post videos every day.... he's trying to inspire people to become smarter every day and to look at the world in an inquisitive way. It's not his job to make you smarter every day, it's your job.
Not sure why anyone would be "against VR". I got the feeling 90% of people who are against VR have just never tried it and the other 10% have tried it too late and weren't open minded when they had their first experience. And if you think the optic/acoustic experience that you can have with a Vive or Rift isn't compelling enough then you just need to see the potential that it has with stuff like haptic feedback, smarter leveldesign and more tracked objects/bodyparts.
Most VR seems like an over priced, low resolution monitor stuck to your head. I'm all for bringing something like the Holodeck into reality, but most of the attempts so far haven't been great. This right here is pretty awesome though.
Does it really matter if people are into it or not because nowadays all you got to do to make this generation interested is have a celebrity use it and theyll follow blindly...so thats the solution to get people into anything...ANYTHING! lol
Emoticons Maybe VR Chat scared them because they afraid people of the future will start be living in VR and creating a dystopian future but I had no problem with living in VR, it is not like those hater will live until that happen either.
There is a difference between stupid and not thinking something will catch on. I'm a skeptic as well and my reasoning is basically the following. It's expensive, takes up a lot of space, most games are cheap looking clunky concept works. Now having said that the reason I'll probably buy a system anyways, I enjoy playing Elite Dangerous and the VR experience for that has to be outstanding.
@Just Another Person have you tried VR or not? I had similar opinion until I had opportunity to test one... graphics is not great, but its very immersive and that makes it awesome
The funny thing about that is of course he would do that. VR is a brilliant concept done stupidly too early. It taps into visual and hearing senses but those arent even half of our 5 senses and with this new apparatus we passed that line. Its officially one step closer to being the smartest piece of technology ever. By its final stages it should be able to completely submerge the users mind into a virtual reality through scientific advances in manipulating all human senses. Its freaking awesome.
+Caleb Ventura The problem is that's probably not possible. You'd basically need to control all nervous signals to and from the brain, and doing so would be a major safety risk. Anything short of that is incomplete, bulky, and too expensive and space-consuming to fit most people's means. This is cool, but it's still just a gimmick in anything except very niche cases.
seigeengine I've gotta disagree there. I think the human mind uses inconsistent or incomplete data all the time. Once vr can get a little more feedback to the user, I think you'll see exponentially greater returns in immersion. It's not like you're likely constantly conscious of every touch, sight, and smell, just the ones you happen to think of as important. Eg, the feelings in your gloves as you manipulate a Fox or on your face when you look up into rain.
Actually, it's estimated that something on the order of 70-80% of all our perceptions are experienced through sight (and "5 senses" is a myth, there are many more). And when it comes to communication, pretty much all of the rest is through audio. That's the reason so much more has been done with visual and audio VR instead of haptic. It's the only smart way to do it.
"not a believer in VR" what?! are you basing this off that nintendo virtual boy? HTC vive (.... and oculus now that they have controllers) made VR amazing as you now know. The glove thing seems cool, but obviously needs to be untethered in the future.
There was recently operation in China, where the doctor used VR headset to operate patient with fracture that was 3700 kilometers away. He was remotely controlling robot.
oculous (facebook) is going to pick this up within the year... the gloves will be avalible in about 2 years but they wont give you all the features all at once. it will be super limited so that they can do progressive updates over time. the full body suit 5 -6 years away.
The most impressive thing is that it's a self contained and thought out product with its own little stylized box, that makes it look like this could be an actual retail product someday instead of these prototypes and test rigs we see all the time that never see the light of day.
I'm not so sure. This is really cool, but also REALLY bulky and complex, all limited to just one glove, and I'm not sure how they scale it down much. People complain already about a headset and cables. How are they going to feel when you want to cover them in a massive full-body suit with a cable the size of your forearm?
seigeengine You realize that they plan to miniaturize it more and more right? In the next year or two, they're looking to make it a backpack setup. Let alone what might happen in 10 or 15 years.
I think for a prototype, it looks pretty sleek. the cables are an issue though, but the backpack idea could be a solution, until they manage to miniaturize it even more.
Imagine being in an virtual hurricane environment and leaves and sharp objects are slicing and hitting your face. You won't get cut in the real world, you would just have a simulation making you think you get a cut.
No one would allow vr machine that causes physical pain to public. It's basically a torture machine. It can make you feel like an object hit you but it won't be sharp
Against VR? You should be smart enough that mainstream VR isn't going to be anything like its current incarnation. No "buckets on your head," no wires.
Some people are just afraid of change, I guess. A person who's into science and tech, like Destin, should NEVER be against technology like VR. I expect people who aren't in to tech to be saying that they're against VR, but tech people should embrace technology, even when its obviously in its infancy. Otherwise, the tech will die due to having little supporters.
Im slightly afraid of the microwave transmitters that are necessary for wireless transmissions. Higher the bandwidth the vr systems are going to need means more and more powerful transmitters. then before you know it... we are talking brain cancer risks and Sword Art Online scenarios. I would like to keep my wires please
Kiba Bloodfang That's not the only way to go, that's just the final frontier. That's basically the same thing as saying AI needs to be superintelligent to be of any use, when we know that it's very useful today.
ArchangelExile Skepticism is a key part of doing science. A scientist wouldn't just do an experiment once and publicize the results as facts without checking the results and the experiment for errors, repeating the experiment and having numerous other people do the same experiment in hopes of finding flaws or errors in it. If you are supporting a technology as a scientist or other expert in a related occupation, one of the most important things you should be doing is finding (potential) flaws in the technology and solutions to them, rather than trying to discredit criticism by attacking someone's character ('he's just afraid of change') and virtue signaling ('tech people should embrace technology despite its flaws'). VR has the potential to be revolutionary, but the VR we have now is far from becoming the VR people are dreaming of. There are way too many issues that we can already see and who knows what new problems may come up as those ones being solved. In short, I think that criticizing VR or being skeptical of it in its current state is perfectly reasonable.
HA! HA! You heard thunder, not lightning. And it's a windmill, not a lighthouse. Looks like you were too excited to even think straight. Thanks for another great video!
Miley onDisney Ummm thunder is the name of the sound that LIGHTNING makes when the heated air rushes away from the lightning bolt. Stop trying to look smart if you're not... Its tacky.
why do you think VR is stupid? it creates huge worlds, that can not be simulated even slightly on a 2d screen VR creates all sorts of situations, anything you can imagine and a little jokes on you, because VR is massively catching on
@Fsy North If water wet's anything it covers, then that would mean water is wet, because it's wetting the water around it. So a drop of water is wet because it's wetting itself.
Racing sims and Onward are my go to games in VR. Vastly better experience than most other gaming experiences out there. What you mean it wont catch on? Gorn is also insanely fun, try having little kids asking you constantly if you can set it up for them. VR is in another dimension regarding gaming. Stop the hate mate.
Alex S Playing Gorn in a big room and putting on some hype music and just going insane with the dual swords or claws is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in gaming
Not... really? It's still more or less entirely a gimmick that's supported because it isn't particularly hard to. It's still really expensive for very little return. And no, this won't make it perfect, not even close.
We need direct stimulation of the brain's sensory processing regions for it to be perfect. Hopefully the work toward helping the blind, amputees, and people with other such physical limitations will have some trickle-down benefits for us...
Every major electronics hardware maker is scrambling to put out their own VR HMD in 2018/19. It has caught on. Give it up seigeengine. You're trolling every comment here supporting VR. Get over your butthurt.
I honestly couldn't believe that of all the people Destin was against VR. I was very disappointed in the video, VR is amazing looking in a virtual imaginary world that could only be experienced in 1st person in dreams be a reality is just amazing and not only that it is used for simulation for Pilots, Doctors, Military and Space programs. Granted VR is expensive and it's in its early stages at that but it could be big in the Future. At least I'm glad he is interested in it now only if it's because of that glove.
Not sure why anyone would be "against VR". I got the feeling 90% of people who are against VR have just never tried it and the other 10% have tried it too late and weren't open minded when they had their first experience.
I'm not blown away by my experience with my Vive. The giggles lasted all of one day and I haven't used it for about 4 months now. Its great but its very basic right now.
I don't think it's that he thinks it's bad, I think he just thought it was a silly waste of time until now. Every VR thing I've tried so far has felt that way. But in 10 years or so i think it'll be really good
INTERNATIONAL idk about that. This is probably going to be an expensive item and get blood all over wouldn't be so fun. Also buying a used model would make it the fastest way to get hiv.
INTERNATIONAL yeah i get what you mean and i agree it would definitely be more realistic (and fun) rather than just visual and viberating controller but it would still be kind of dangerous considering other people have different sensitivity to pain.
@maverick0698 It's weird because he's an engineer and scientifically literate but is "against VR", as he puts it. Instead of being skeptical, people need to start supporting it so that is _can_ catch on. I was very enthusiastic and excited for VR when though I had my reservations about it catching on due to doubters not supporting it, nonetheless, I love the tech and want it to advance.
