This technology in 10 years or less is gonna change the world forever. Imagine a super realistic, Star Wars universe where you get to do and be whatever and whoever you want!!
We did the Star Wars Secrets of the Universe May '18. My husband has his right arm amputated below the elbow. We were curious as to how the computer would interpret this altered body image. He did have his (virtual) right hand but every few minutes it would "detach" and float in front of him. We both loved The Void experience! BTW he's 67 and I'm 61. #young@heart
The footage for this looks pretty janky. The torch looked like it had tracking markers on it but appeared completely static in the footage. Guessing the footage they actually showed was just on PC to demonstrate the graphics? Would've been nice to see the actual player's view.
I remember placing a couch in the same place in rec room as it was in real life, then sitting down on it. It's pretty cool to do that, and I can't imagine what this might be like.
I always thought of being able to walk around in a big area without running into anything and without all those wires would be cool BUT THIS IS A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL OF VR
I'm rather skeptical of their tracking tech here. The big white dots can't be very accurate on a micro-scale. The Rift uses small points of IR light which is more effective, although the Vive's Lighthouse tech still works best. The first person video shown here looks rather jerky, so that leads me to believe that it isn't as good at giving an immersive tracked presence as Lighthouse or even Constellation can provide.
Vive wouldn't really be possible with how it is right now. Currently, the Vive only works with 2 lighthouses, which could not possibly cover an area like they have here. It's too big and there would be way too much occlusion. Valve has stated it could be possible to update the software to support an arbitrary amount of lighthouses in the future, but for the time being we can only use 2. Even still this would likely need custom software to switch between lighthouses as you moved through the facility.
Tried this before and it is SURREAL as a Malaysian it costs about 129 ringgit which is hella expensive. The thing itself is very short about 30 minutes (this was the star wars one) and tbh it really isn't worth it's price. Maybe in a couple of years when the price gone down go ahead and try it!
I like how instead of saying where it is, he says it's "here", and proceeds to give a general area, half an hour from salt lake city. Nice, easy to find
@Daniel Rieger: Yes, they don't mention the exact location of The Void's HQ. It's in *Lindon, Utah*, near Pleasant Grove. Address: *644 N 2000 W, Lindon, UT 84042, USA* Map: www.thevoid.com/locations/lindon
I did the Star Wars scenario and it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend it. At the same time WHAT the heck is that stain on the chair at 0:24. Suddenly makes me cringe at what I might have been touching without knowing it....
at this point, they should stop claiming to be "utah-based" since they are actively refusing to open the facility in utah. I would honestly respect them a lot more if they would just come out and say "after partnering with disney, we are moving our corporate headquarters to california, and we will be ceasing operation of our previous facility in lindon."
Omg I'm so freaking excited to do this at Disney Springs. I haven't don't any type of VR what so ever. So I'm so happy I'm going to be able to do this for my first VR experience.
I want a suit that can give you the illusion of weight and apply force to your joints to make it feel like you can actually pick stuff up. I want a suit and gloves that can give you the illusion of water and textures and objects touching you. I want it to be able to make you feel wind or fire. I want a suspension sistem to allow you to move around and jump. I want a high def headset that is both light and comfortable. I want 3D sound and headphones that cover your entire ear and can play more sound than we can even hear. I want a base that can move around and give the feeling of uneven ground or diffrent serfaves, and make it so you can walk around. But.... you don’t always get what you want. ):
Thanks, I was wondering how a video like this could have dislikes, now I understand. I'm looking forward to that part of the video now, youtube celebrities deserve to be mocked, and Pew is the king of that dungheap. Also glad to see all this triggering going on.
It's great. In the Star Wars one their height is represented. My wife was a little short to be a Stormtrooper. Have to each other. Flip each other off and high fives
Not trying to bash him for being 'bad' but that little coin demo is the first time I've ever caught slight of hand on the first viewing. I'm kinda proud of myself...
went to the void in genting! Although pricey and long line it was worth it! We played wreck it ralph haha WE ACTUALLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT THE LONG LINE IS FOR AND THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE A MOVIE LOL
there is already a glove that makes you feel vr coming soon so u wont need all of this its all ina glove so i think the glove wins cuz its much much much much smaller
i used to dream about this kind of stuff thinking what if maybe someday in the far future this would be possible. if you look past all the bullshit that humans are the tech we have developed is truly amazing!
