I can imagine a future where I can call into my job and say "I'm not feeling well today, can I work by proxy?" And then I can control a robot that does my job.
@@shaunmorrissey7313 That is humanity mision, no ammount of jobs lost can stop humanity final goal of the whole species surviving and thriving by doing absolutly nothing
Mike, definitely post more videos like this! VR is for so much more than games and you can help so much the creators of these solutions showcasing them here. Congratz for the great work, as always!
This was awesome! I appreciate the other sides of VR. While I tend to focus on games, that's just the kid inside talkin'..😁 I'm genuinely interested in other use cases like this. Excellent video, Mike!!! 🍺👊
I definitely think that VR remote controlled robots are a brighter future than simply robots replacing humans at their jobs, that would be worse for humanity and if the tech fails who's gonna correct it
VR technology allows us to see infinite possibilities in the future, we can't just limit VR technology to games, of course after the robot grows five fingers hahaha
Amazing, I hope to review stuff like this when I start my channel. You influenced me to start making videos. Love your videos keep up the excellent work. This looks cool!
Cool stuff! Imagine loggers piloting climbing ant bots in forest fires with chainsaw arms. Efficiency baby! Us cutting the hedges from the living room is more likely though, haha. Mines already have remote operators I wonder how many of them use VR. Oh, and if you like the arms but don't have $14K there is "VR Robotics Simulator on Steam". It lets you program and play with industrial robot arms. Just not live like this tech.
This kind of technology is seriously giving me some "Surrogates" (an old movie) vibes and I couldn't be more excited by the possibility of it actually potentially coming to fruition
Instead of doing 1:1, they should allow you a zoomed view 3:1, so your movements are only 1/3 of the real life, allowing you to do the fine movements. Or perhaps add some sensors to the grips instruments to have an optional auto stop.
This tech reminds me of something from the book ready player two, where Wade logged into a telebot in space through his oasis headset to look down on the planet. I feel like this tech would be very applicable in space. Astronauts would not have to go on a risky space walk and instead hook on a vr headset and control a robot arm on the outside to do whatever repair is needed.
I’m a huge space fan so the applications for this in space exploration would be absolutely incredible, with the right technology this could completely negate the need for EVA’s which are incredibly difficult, time consuming and dangerous
There are certainly jobs that require a person to make certain decisions. To be able to work those jobs from home, controlling an off-site robot would be absolutely awesome.
I'm not the only one who had a feeling it's all connecting these past years! This type of tech can literally be used for mars missions when we are able tl achieve a super far signals in the next 5-10 years. it needs the proper & safe funding. Drones are already a reality these past 10years & being seriously used more and more already, now this is just a step above it. Gamer skills are going to to be paying off lmao.. My dream is to have a mech one day
can a cheaper version be dressed up as a real arm and put to use in the "comfort" industry? perhaps for the infirmed or disabled, accompanied by visuals? bi-directionally maybe? ;)
I don't want to sound negative, bc it's going to open a lot of opportunities for a lot of people, but I can see this being used by corps to outsource a ton of jobs.
Couldn't they use another quest as a "head"? It would have to be movable too of course, but I feel the passthrough we use everyday gives a really good perception of depth...
surgery can get even more interesting because surgeons are going to have more controlled movements and visibility at smaller and smaller detail. Using a micron sized needle or claw in a VR headset could feel like your entire hand, giving way more control to a wider number of surgeons. Imagine being able to stare at small veins and tissue in real-time right in-front of you, rather than through a microscope. Same could be said for semiconductor development.
