The Largest Unsolved Problem in VR. 

I hope you enjoyed this one. I spent a lot of time on this video and had a ton of fun hand animating everything. Feels so good to evolve my content to talk about VR on a deeper level. I have no clue how this video will "do", but I felt it was an important video to make and I want to make more stuff like this. We're in this together! Lemme know what you thought! Also, the STL for my Controller holsters are in my discord server: discord.gg/Thrill It's also a great place to talk deeply about VR stuff like this!

More people should be saying this out loud. It has been many years and it almost feels like we haven't made any steps towards figuring out a proper method of interfacing with VR.

Ironically, the biggest problem for VR interfaces is "infinite affordances". It isn't just that you CAN do anything, it's that there is no way to prevent the user from doing anything. In real life, a table is easy to use. You can rest your elbows on it, you can place objects on it, you can sit on it. It won't allow you to accidentally pick it up by pushing your hand through it, and objects won't fall through it if placed a bit too low. Same with walls, and doors, steering wheels, flight sticks, and all physical objects. VR introduces a fundamental, physical disconnect between the conceptual objects you're interacting with and any affordances the application is attempting to force on them for practical reasons and the actual physical affordances provided you, ie infinite ability to manipulate your hands around the objects. It also dramatically reduces the reliability of feedback for these operations since there is no physical response, no resistance, no click, nothing but visuals and sound, which are in fairness poor feedback for physical interactions. It's why good car design promotes buttons and knobs over touchscreens--the former is just dramatically better to use than the latter since the latter necessarily occupies more attention, lacking several forms of physical feedback (while STILL having more than VR, because at least you know if you touched the surface in the first place, or passed through it).

You know how we invented computers so we wouldn't have to physically walk to a filing cabinet and look through it? What if we went backwards...

I'm a game developer who always was obsessed with interactions and interfaces, it always was so obvious to me why a game felt good to the hand or not in an intuitive way. This video gave me the right framework to translate that "lens" to VR development, which I'm currently delving into. I followed you for a while now, this is the most helpful video you ever made to push forward VR. Thank you!!

Personally I still feel like the biggest thing holding the industry back is that 90% of the companies producing this only see it as a side venture if that, if vr is just a throwaway product these companies will randomly throw money at then I can't see it improving considerably in the next few years

It feels like a lot of people overlook vr ui, when in reality it’s a large portion of what makes the experience immersive or not. If an interface is intuitive, you don’t think about it, but if it gets in the way, you do think about it and that takes you out of the experience. It would be like going on a Disney world attraction only to see a staff member desperately try to reconnect a wire to one of the anamatronics.

I am in school for design engineering and this is a great summary of the basic problem every day people have when becoming frustrated with a piece of technology they don't understand. Thank you for this great video

I've always thought that Rec Room had pretty good steps for vr menus and navagation. Relating your own world to a dorm, with the lobby being accessible by a door in the same world. It feels like one connected space. Even if you want to skip that process you have a holographic watch, with pushable buttons that give feedback and pictures that give a clear signifier to where it leads or what it does. Even when you get into making custom gamemodes it uses things like paint guns for modeling and circuts for setting game rules. The entire game uses something similar to something real which makes finding out what your doing very simple to beginers and why it's a great starting point for any VR noob especially since its free.

One of the most striking events of VR done right is the locks in Half-Life: Alyx. Puzzle-solving in a 3-dimensional space where interaction doesn't inhibit movement was mind-blowing. It gave a good impression of what a holographic UI could be.

My favorite Thrillseeker video yet. It's hard to put into words ~why~ VR UI is so frustrating (especially for first-timers), but you successfully made a comphrensible breakdown dedicated to just that. This is a video for both developers & players a like. And a great reference I will be sending to people for a long time!

I've been a gamer since the 80s. I'm a developer of 24 years. I run a Design and Branding agency in London. I've a small gaming RU-vid channel and am a big VR enthusiast in my spare time. I've been a fan of yours for over 4 years and I'd like to think I'm well-positioned to have an opinion on the state of VR and design, however, this is one of the most succinct, well-considered and thought-provoking videos on design within the VR space I've seen. So much so that I'm compelled to comment and congratulate you on such a great video. I know you've taken time away from YT and had a change of direction and I appreciate the time it takes to produce content of this calibre. Well done. Keep up the good work for as long as it drives you. The concept that a virtual object is simply a Skeumoprhism is a double-edged sword. It positions designers in a place where the rules of physics, space and time should be consistent if we wish the user to understand intuitively what the object is they perceive and how we expect them to interact with it. On the flip side, this means we're bound to create simulated replicas of the real world (hyper-accurate as they may be) which limits the true potential and creativity of 'Virtual Reality'. Taking your door analogy, we expect to be able to push or pull the door to open it and for it to remain a fixed size and shape, but if it was to scale if pushed, translate if pulled or morph into a pink elephant when opened this blows the concept of skeuomorphism out of the water. There is conceptual flexibility within an immersive environment, however, unifying a common UI language across providers and platforms is certainly key. Skeuomorphism is ubiquitous to the personal computing experience whether you are on a PC, Mac, Linux or a MU-TH-UR 6000. Like the floppy disk simply used to 'save' a file (yet I can't remember the last time I used a 1.44Mb floppy!). Hand vs controller. Push/pull vs corner drag to scale. The different interactions required to create the same result is confusing and frustrating. A continuity of interface is severely lacking in the current UI lexicon. What a fascinating moment in time in which we all live...

4:21 im utterly flabbergasted at the fact he somehow included a segment about a NUCLEAR MELTDOWN into a video about VR interface

Videos like these continually remind me that information and innovation depend not on the smartest person but rather on the person sharing information in the most comprehensive, widespread manner possible. Even looking back at Einstein, his theories weren't unknown in his field, but he was the first person to herd all of these different ideas together to form a cohesive, comprehensive theory. _That_ is the power of effective communication, and it's why I have equal parts fascination and apprehension with video essays like these. They brilliantly weave these different ideas together, but it is ultimately done by someone without a firm background in the subject (i.e., not having a degree in the field they talk about), and that leads to a certain danger I have no idea how to feel about.

I believe in "Time Friction" which is that for every issue, every one thing big or small that a user bumps into outside their control, each collective minute or second of discomfort or frustration is more and more abrasive until the user is left sensitive and raw, wanting less and less to interact with the experience. It's why being able to tailor menus and layouts can help give back a little of that control and give the user more agency in a personalized interface that speaks to them. Nothing's more frustrating to me than having to see whatever Meta wants me to see from the moment the OS UI pops up, or not having shortcut options unique to the user. Boggles the mind that years upon years later they can't even entertain the notion "Hey maybe someone doesn't want some of our widgets they'll never use on the main bar!" or "Maybe letting people make custom folders or changing the UI color to a whole rainbow of choices might help them feel like this is their system." The little things and the lack thereof all accumulate. And little things add to longevity or demise of a thing.

This is an excellent video, thank you so much! Take it from someone who has studied design and worked professionally in computer UX design for 20 years in different industries (now also VR UX design). Outside of work, I'm a gamer at heart and have spent somewhere in the 4 digits of hours in VR on different devices. You're speaking directly to my soul.

This entire video was absolutely amazing! Please make more like this, it was so interesting and really opened my eyes to design of not only VR but in every regard. I especially loved how clearly you've managed to explain the problems with VR interfaces but also provided a solution!

A XR UX research PHD (who is also one of the devs worked on the original vive in HTC) once told me, the UI is designed for the investors who only watch demos on flat screens. Hence, the UI are designed to be good looking from outside, instead of good to use for the ones using it. This made so much sense.

I've spent more time than I'd like to admit struggling with terrible VR UIs and this video perfectly summarizes my biggest complaints * Laser pointers are imprecise, and pulling a trigger makes you miss the thing you're pointing at * There's no coherent menu structure in SteamVR * The first 30 minutes of every game are dedicated to dialing in comfort and locomotion settings * Menus that stick to your face feel invasive I hope that talking about this means consumers and devs alike can start to hone in on what actually makes a good experience

Superb video. I can see the direction your interest is taking you, and I appreciate you journaling this publicly in the form of these videos.

I really want to take the moment to appreciate the editing of this visual. Each clip feels like it has purpose and the composition is immaculate. The animations when highlighting the signifiers feedback and affordances were a really nice touch. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this production. You really out done yourself with this vid.

21:33 Using Command and Conquer in your video... you are truly a man of taste.

I love how much this dude loves VR. He's the real life Parzival and I'd happily hand him the keys to the Oasis!

That was the best video about VR that I've ever seen. I've already thought deeply along these lines, and yet this video opened up my mind even more, spectacularly so. I also appreciate the effort put into the visual explanations. ThrillSeeker, this is your best yet. Congratulations on your new high watermark. Bravo.

I really love the passion you have for VR. You talk about VR as a whole, rather than just the games. And you're not biased. You lay it all out, and you just give us the facts. Keep doing thing bro, love the channel.

THIS IS AWESOME THRILL!! This is one of my favorite videos that you've ever made

THE RETURN OF THRILLLLLLLLLLLLL

Super high quality video. This is a very welcome change from just hopeful news stories and demos, it's really cool to see you seriously discuss an issue that VR as an entire medium is facing.

Always good to see another video from you. And the design and visuals of your videos just keep getting better and better. All the graphics and effects you do to help communicate your points blows me away sometimes

loving this whole VR dev arc. IMO, it is ridiculous that you can't run several 3d limited volume apps side by side on quest. or extending the GUI analogy, switching limited volume app into immersive mode is like clicking on the maximize button in flat OS. Even within a fullscreen app, there should still be a way to interact with other running limited volume apps. Microsoft recently announced volumetric apps api, which should allow streaming of limited volume apps natively from your desktop or azure into quest. this should shake some things up in quest productivity space.

I really enjoy these kinds of videos because they carry a lot of information about different subjects that affect ours lives without us knowing

This feels like the kind of video that a hungover teacher would roll out on the VCR TV... and I absolutely mean that as a compliment! Well structured, very informative, solid documentary. Keep fighting the good fight, Thrill!

Videos like this are the reason why I follow this channel. You always bring forth the topics and tech that we should all be looking at. And it's not just about VR - I don't think people think about how much VR ties into all other tech from hardware to governance and regulations. Anyhow - I just wanted to say thanks again for another fantastic video and for always fighting the good fight. Cheers amigo ~

This is an amazing take at design, and it's way more important than people realize. I want to add two things: We want to interact with VR like we do in the real world: anything can be touched, and everything reacts to being touched. Also feedback: if I touch something, I must feel something happened. It needs to be instantaneous. Force feedback would be the best, vibration is the second best, sound is the third best. Visual feedback must be there, but it can't be the only feedback.

I work in VR, and the UI and how the user interfaces with the sofware is one of the biggest problems with VR. (Besides the nausea and fear of walking into a wall) Our observation is that the biggest problem with UI is lack of tactile feedback, you can push through everything, and are never stopped. You never actually can touch something, and we humans are not used to it. We control everything with touch, and we crave tactile feedback, and VR we have zero, so or brain naturally dislikes it. In my professional opinion UI design is not necessary the direct problem, or a problem that can be solved by standardization or a "better" design. The problem is that for the first time in human live, we are trying to control things without the sense of touch. You are fighting against 150.000 years of human evolution. The problem is most like VR itself, and when that is solved, we can move to the next step. For now, we can only try, and design for a day were we can touch things in VR.

Banger video glad to see you're still doing what you love after all these years!

I love this video so much. Thank you for taking your time to make this. I will miss the consistent TN videos, but this is far more interesting and fitting for your style of video making thrill!

11:53 This is really like a picture of a pipe- a picture of a pipe is not a pipe, it’s a picture of a pipe; and a picture of a thing is not the thing itself, it is just a picture.

my uncle worked on concept work for this movie. For his phd in architecture he tried constructing what 3d cyber space would look like.

You are such a great creator. Thank you for boiling down design and UI so well. As an engineering student, this an amazingly succinct way of describing multiple classes I have taken

I made my design graduation thesis on this matter in 2022... Funny enough I found the same concepts you did! I was thrilled seeing this video where you talked about most things I researched, and I tell you, your research was awesome, you found great references and proposed great ideas! The OS being responsible for the initial configuration is an idea I trully hope developers get aboard, it would solve so many problems with standardization and good measure for usability. Thank you so much for this update on the matter, this video is a must for the moment we are on in VR. I just don't understand why I can't save the video in a playlist in youtube ): I would definetly add it to my VR research playlist. Thank you again, and keep up the great work! You got yourself a new subscriber!

This kind of deep dive is fucking awesome to see from you Thrill. Please consider more!

Being a programmer for over 40 years and a lover of VR since DK2, this is your best video yet. Thanks so much, great stuff.

As a long time viewer, I gotta say… this is some of your best work THRILL. Kinda gave me V Sauce vibes, but with your unique spin and input on it all. Awesome job.

I see there being 3 levels of VR: 1.) Cinematic - Using VR to view 2D content on a virtual screen that can be customized to your needs/wants (I.E. watching a movie in VR.) 2.) Stereoscopic - Using VR to see content in 3D. May or may not include tracking or motion controls (Games like Moss do this) 3.) Immersive- Typically what people think of when it comes to VR. First-person with Tracking and motion Controls.

Honestly, as someone who has followed your content for quite some time. I would say this is probably one of the best videos you’ve ever made. It’s incredibly educational while still being entertaining. And especially useful for people who want to start developing in the space as it’s now something that, you can point to as a reference moving forward. Really amazing work. And I look forward to what you come up with next.

the quality of this video is on a different level! amazing work and so well put together, this feels like watching a documentary!

Amazing video! I love that so many of your videos are focused on making VR better.

I think this is the best/most important video on what VR is and could be I've seen in a very long time. Most are stuck in a cycle of response/review on what is being done, not commentary and guideposting about what SHOULD be done. I think this is my favorite video you've done... period.

Touch screens alone are reason to believe this will be known as the dark ages of technology. The dark age of what was between buttons and whatever comes next. As someone with large hands it feels like I am living in a twilight zone dimension where is designed for people with tiny alien fingers.

Ok I only just finished part 2 as I don’t have time to watch the whole thing at the moment (I’ll be back) but this is one your best videos yet if not the best. The creativity you put into something that could just be some generic talking head video is absolutely astounding. The way you edit, write, use visuals, sounds, and music is all so incredible to me. Not to mention the actual analysis of what you’re talking about which is equally fantastic. I genuinely believe you’re one of the most talented creators out there and figured I’d give you some props for it as I think your skill for making videos flies under the radar

I've had these kinds of thoughts around VR game design for so long. You managed to put em in words. Nice one!

Mr Jobs understood proper skeuomorphic design. And I think VR is where this kind of design would make the most sense of all for the interfaces and menus and such, yet it doesn't get used nearly as much or as well as you'd think. Sadly, it's also become used less and less with each new iPhone iOS update too. :( Also, as cheesy as it sounds, reaching the "It just works" point really is the key too imo. No matter what methods and solutions you ultimately use to make a great interface, if that's how it genuinely seems when people use it, "It just works", you've succeeded as far as I'm concerned. How you get there is the big challenge, but the completion/finish point of your particular interface implementation should be when "It just works" and no sooner ideally.

I saw ThrillSeeker, I tap notif

Really enjoyed this format! Such storytelling that draws you in, wanting to hear more. I think you are on to something with your vision of what a better OS could look like on a conceptual level. I hope the big companies takes notes! Thanks for this!

Something about the thumbnail meant I didn't realise this was a thrillseeker vodeo and I'm mad because I saved the video to watch later instead of watching it immediately. Also this is very well written and exactly right!

This video is a left turn form your normal content and some people wont appreciate it as much as I did but for what its worth i really enjoyed this technical deep dive and I hope that you can take this style and continue with it every now and again because as you said at the end no one really understands this virgin technology we have and I would love to continue to see its development and your path learning more about it through your eyes.

Bravo sir. You understand something very few people do. One of my biggest issues with VR is the way we interface with it. Everyone does it different and awesome in there own way respective way. Take all the best parts and create a standard with hand tracking. I also believe the controllers should have a standard created to always work with a universal type of VR interface. This will also simplify all VR controller designs and help push it forward faster once we have a solid base achieved. I am all about moving the technology forward and your one of the few genuine advocates of growing VR as a platform. Not what's the next best headset. I hope you remain a dominant voice in this community. You put some serious thought and effort into this video. I hope you do more of these.

I think this is the perfect summary of what vr is today. Fighting through systems unequipped for the technology to grasp the moments of awe in between. Great video Thrill

What an amazing video. I currently study cs and really liked that this literally picks up from my courses and then immensely surprised me with your new design concepts / guidelines. I have no idea how much time went into this, but it must have been a lot - and it shows. And then the end... damn I feel you, I really do. Design is such an amazing thing and goes so much further than most people think.

Love this! I'm trying to build and explore the tools to help with better XR Design! So happy you made this!

Welp, mr thrill your gonna die, you criticised Boeing at 4:05

This was a masterclass deep dive on design and human experience in VR! I know you felt the need to go deep and ut was challenging, just wanted to let you know it was great and helpful and exactly the kind of video I also "wish was made" and glad you made it, thanks!

Bro, I will put this video in a private playlist, because I need to rewatch this multiple times, this video pushes my creativity.

Great video. I’m genuinely impressed by the level and depth of original research you seem to have done for it. I’ve been thinking quite a bit about VR UX recently and I found a lot of interesting ideas and thoughts in this video that fit well into my thought process and model. Great work!

Too many menus, not immersive enough. If you want me to use a menu, give me a device with a menu, don't just float it in front of me. If you want to give users an avatar, make us change the clothes ourselves, open a drawer, show the options inside (in a user friendly way). You want us to buy clothes? Have us navigate to a market. Virtual reality doesn't feel like "reality" because the devices and the "lives" the give us are too protected. There's no "leaving the house" to go shopping for more clothes, there's no passing people on a street. I know a lot of these options would be VERY difficult to pull off, especially on standalone headsets like the Quest, Pico, ETC. Though if you want to call it "Virtual Reality" you could at least try to convince us that we're in some type of other reality.

This is one of the best videos you have made, absolutely excellent, I learned so much about design and what VR should/could be! Be proud of yourself, this is a great video!

As a VR enthusiast who is also a UX enthusiast, this is my favorite of all the videos that you have ever made. Thank you so much!

I'm still holding out hope for really good gloves. Ones that aren't bulky and annoying to wear, but have haptic feedback and actually physically keep your fingers from closing any further as you wrap them around a virtual object. Would make a world of difference.

Well played with Johnny Mnemonic… I was about to write a snappy comment about The Matrix being from ‘99 😂 good stuff my dude.

This video is such an insanely eye opening look at UX. Absolutely LOVING this new style of content.

I love the detail! Thank you for sharing all you've learned about design in terms of VR! I can't wait to see how VR interfaces evolve and improve with people like you to inspire progress! 🎉

Most philosophical video yet.

The most interesting phenomenon I've noticed in VR is that textures on objects appear to be MORE DETAILED compared to when they are viewed on a screen, even when there is not actually any additional detail being displayed. I'm sure many users feel this way, that textures and lighting in VR just look so much more detailed and realistic even though the actual level of detail being displayed is often far less than what is being rendered in games you view on a flat screen. I think this phenomenon is connected to the way our brains "fill in" a lot of what we "see" with our eyes, and when we view graphics on a flat screen, our brains know we are only looking at a flat screen, and it isn't fooled into thinking what we are seeing is real, but when you put on a VR headset, your brain gets fooled into thinking you are seeing real objects with real depth, and it starts "filling in" detail that may not even be there in reality, giving you the illusion that it is far more detailed. Anyone else wonder about this phenomenon?

Extremely constructive and important discourse and stunning editing. This video is a jewel.

This video was amazing. Felt like a documentary! Keep it up👏

As a User Experience Designer by trade, it warms my heart to see this video. Someone, like you, so steeped in VR domain knowledge, using that knowledge to consider a better experience for everyone. My hope is that more designers will see this video, and come to adopt the Thrillseeker Principles of VR Design. I'm going to share this around.

There used to be a Leap Motion Sword Art Online UI demo someone made in Unity. Felt fun to play with. I still like that more than any UI we've ever seen. Anything beats a flat screen with a freaking laser pointer.

This is a fantastic video and I'm going to reference it in my own design video. I have two VR products out now and I spend a LOT Of time tweaking how the user interacts with it. I think one of the best things for the industry right now is to bring these issues up and let everyone bang on them independently. See what people come up with!

This is a tremendous introduction for the Design of Everyday Things and you have really well distilled it for the "perspective" of VR. I agree that it is one of the the essential pillars of any design or engineering work and you break down some of the key lessons from that book. I read this as part of my design education and I wish that it was part of more required courses across all design-oriented courses. It really helps designers understand their own biases, specifically qualify what their own sense of intuition and "gut" is, and break down what may be abstractly "good" or bad" into distinct features and characteristics that can be analyzed independently. TLDR: great job highlighting the awesomeness and importance of this book. More specifcally, I think the pyramid of VR OS principles you propose is a great start as well. I have some commentary for each section. Respecting the space of the user is key and I hope that UI designers realize that when working in a virtual space, that they have the freedems afforded by a virtual space and should provide themselves (and the end users) the ability to manipulate the planes, volumes, etc. of their experience fluidly to work for themselves, rather than forcing the user to fit to a rigid experience. This will also lean more into the "invisible" nature of good design as users will need to think less about how they interact with VR systems. This plays though heavily into the principle of the conceptual model, discussed more later. I think your commentary on "hands-first" is good and perhaps a necessary "jump" to prevent designers from accidentally/subconciously constraining themselves to the (relatively) finite affordances of more traditional controllers. Part of me feels that the reason why designers haven't taken these steps as much is due to a lack of hardware/software ability to recognize and discern hand gestures easily. I hope that with the advancement of AI, the forgivingness of image and depth-perception trackers will skyrocket and while also allowing for more complicated, and perhaps even user-specific, gestures and controls (Iron Man is the dream here for me). Standardization is a dream, one we should certainly pursue, but with tempered expectations. In the PC world, apple OSs are extremely user friendly and optimized really well for their intended designs. However, developers dislike having to repackage their software everytime for apples bespoke environments (as evidence by the lack of various software compatibility for apple devices). I also imagine that many corporate, open-source, and small-time developers like the appeal of designing in an environment that is less tightly constrained by outside hosting parties. Having a standard like in apple is great for in-house work for a single family of systems, but if multiple standards arise, I worry it will create a very entrapment-prone market. Yet, at the same time, achieving a global standard across multiple platforms is idealistic (though I do hope for it). Your segment on predictablity of confirmation can be solved entirely by developers and designers through a renewed focus on skeumorphics and feedback. Visial lasers provide great feedback, but I hope designers do not limit themselves to one aspect of feedback. Building on the "hands-first" affordances, perhaps a combination of gestures and visual feedback in the form of highlighting or other HUD-like effects can be used. We've designed current skeumorphics on older systems like save icons being represented as floppy disks. But now that smart devices and touchscreens have been mainstream for a relatively long time, perhaps there are skeumorphic-like gestures that we can import from the 2D world into 3D volumes to facilitate that intuitional understanding of users. While your discussion on the conceptual model is important, from what I remember in the Design of Everyday Things, a conceptual model is actually defined by the users primarily, not designers and developers. Designers can study their existing conceptual models and compare them to those of users in order to reveal biases and otherwise unaparrent misalaignments in what a given feedback communicates or what a given feauture actually affords. VR is still in its wild west phase of development, so average users do not have a consistent conceptual model for how the technology can or should be interacted with. Developers are not standardized in their conceptual models for how VR should be constructed. Apple's environment as you described, seems great (because the conceptual model of the engineers is potentially naturally in-line with the model users have), and they have the opportunity to educate users on its features to build a new standardized conceptual model. This could then be a blueprint for VR workspaces that all users and designers can then build off of for how to access, interact with, and manage new features/affordances added to the space. With synchronized conceptual models between users and designers, then standardization can more easily be adopted. I would also argue that the principles of conceptual models are the foundation, rather than the capstone, of design, and would likely be lower on your pyramid of VR OS principles. But this could be a bit of a chicken-vs-egg argument. :) TLDR: great proposal for developers and designers on how to continue evolving the VR experience. I would argue to start with aligning the conceptual models between users and deisgners first, however, and that then the other principles/layers of the design pyramid will flow more naturally. TTLDR: awesome video, love your content, you inspire me to keep coming back to VR and feed my idealistic dreams for technology and the human experience.

FINALLY!! A NEW VIDEO!!

The Largest Problem in VR: The UI

this is a captivating video - it was extremely well written and you presented what you had found in an easy to understand way while inspiring further thought about the concept. you've leveled up so much lately, well done thrill.

My dude, what a awesome video to watch. Thanks for sharing this. Loved the parallels with Design philosophy

Love you thrill I hope your doing better with health I love your channel

I can't wait for the "almost perfect" VR headset.

Finally! A breath of fresh air in the VR space from the user experience perspective which is what VR is all about! Can’t wait to see what you end up building…

Love the video! It shows how much time you sunk into this and you nailed the hesitation I feel when I think about getting into VR. All the quirks and obstacles one has to face in comparison to well tuned and evolved 2D interfaces are appearant to a layman just by watching the vr-captures of current user experiences. I am a web developer and I cannot stress enough the importance of good default behaviours and settings. Without the developers and designers actually using the interfaces they create, they cannot find those well working defaults.

"Never to complain unless you have an alternative" as the one lesson instilled by your mother... Damn, I do have the exact same "the lesson" from my mother. I criticize her for everything else she said throughout my life, but that one thing is so correct that I have no words against it.

from VR news to going BIG BRAIN on UI *slowclap*

Exceptional video Thrill, Ive been following you for years and this one is a masterpiece. Beautiful and informative! Great job!

This is one of your best videos yet, fantastic deep dive

Love you thrill I hope your doing better with health I love your channel.

Thrill uploads, Instalike!

Thank you ThrillSeeker for you insights. Also a big thanks to all the comments on this video - it shows how many people share their thoughts and together we can work on making the (VR) world a better place. So many good ideas about how to improve the experience. I really had fun watching this video. Keep up with that good work

It’s awesome there are dedicated VR enthusiasts like yourself that dive deep into the nuts & bolts, discover best practices and share them 😎👍🏼

18:43 ay, dats me!

I love how you address this topic with such honesty.

That was a really fantastic video essay, dude. Thank you and well done.

The production value on this video, and you HAND ANIMATED all of it? Like what??? Insane quality!!
