What I Learned from Spending a Week in Virtual Reality | Jak Wilmot | TEDxVienna 

Thank you for having me, TedX Vienna :)

Little does the audience know..... he had the entire tedtalk written out in his headset

This would be a completely different talk if he'd been playing vrchat.

“Lemme pause Fortnite real quick.” Audience: **cold, dead silence**

This man ended his Ted Talk with a meme and I don't think anyone in the audience realized it

This guy needs to voice act

100 years from now, the Ted Talk will be "What I learned from spending a week in real life."

I am a video game environment artist and I bought my first VR headset just over a year ago. I bought it for my Dads 80th birthday. I wanted to remake a cabin my family went to every Christmas, a cabin that no longer exists. All the details would be there, dust floating through God rays, a TV so full of static that the picture was barely visible and colored metal drinking cups that no longer were colored after my brother washed them in the washing machine, stealing their color. The day came when Dad put the headset on and he was transported back in time, with all the details of the cabin he remembered, and then the memories came flooding back.. but this time there was a huge birthday cake on the kitchen table and finally a HAPPY BIRTHDAY fireworks display that lit up the entire sky. For a man who always thought games were a waste of time he loved it. haha. VR is an extremely powerful tool that I love and I cant wait to see how it evolves.

The mad lad actually said "Thank you for coming to my TED talk"

Damn the audience sleeping on some good jokes from my boy jak

I remember, the first RU-vid video I watched from this guy was him explaining his after thought of his experiment. I just watched it all over again but in a Ted talk.

168 hrs later my first words after taking off the VR headset... "I know kung fu".

No one cared who I was... until I put on the headset.

still waiting for TED to actually come out and do his talk i'm not impressed...

Chicken Bean

I love disrupt, his videos art put together with such art and finesse.

this guy totally killed his ted talk and the audience just sat there like 😐

bruh that joke at the start was so dead

We'll be able to attend virtual Ted Talks in the future

So proud to see my boy jak doing a ted talk

In 10 years from now we will be laughing at how huge were those vr glasses back in the day. Edit: *Social Experiment* If you like my comment, does that mean I'm content creator? Would you support my creation? $jacoza

Mathmaticians are going to be using that to draw on rooms full of thousands of white boards

just got a headset, spent 19 hours in it, and now my hands feel like they need to be recalibrated

The dood said lemme pause fortnite real quick and no one laughed, i feel so bad

He actually had his script in the headset

I am very interested in how VR affects the brain.

"Just gotta pause Fortnite for a second" > nobody laughs

This is the most comfortable I've ever seen someone on stage.

He's watching two girls, one cup in vr while giving talk

He’s a great speaker

Oral tales and cave paintings become books and paintings become movies and TV become Mobile platforms and computers becomes AR and VR. They are just tools that humans use.

He sounds like Adam Neely

I hope one day I am gonna successful and be talker in Ted like him

You can tell he took some courses on public speaking and speeches haha

Kirito giving a Tedtalk

Also known as “Manz goes on a gaming binge then starts chattin’”

i cant belive you did a ted talks jak this is amazing love you :)

I love this guy. He starts with “I gotta pause fortnite real quick, one sec” and ends with “thanks for coming to my ted talk”

I think the test scores can also be explained by the *novelty* of a VR experience or a VR lesson. We tend to recall information, concepts and experiences best when we do our learning in the context of something new, something unfamiliar and surprising. There's a certain salience to it which it might not owe to VR itself.

I really like Jak and I really hope people start believing in him because all the drama these past couple years has mostnlikely been discouraging

Who is ted and why does he talk so much?

he actually didnt really say something

What emotion does the face on his headset convey?

I like his T-shirt(Einstein wearing HMD)

This sounds like the beginning of the matrix🤔🤔

When he said I just gotta pause fortnite real quick and nobody laughed because they actually thought you could pause an online game

this guy deadset sounds like heath ledgers joker

anyone gonna mention the person stroking the other person's head at 9:37

I just watched " ready player one” and this comes to my recommendation

I went outside once, the graphics were okay but the gameplay was terrible.

10:13 Why is that guy getting his head scratched by someone?

When you realize that life is a simulation

He had his speech in the vr headset lol

Felt like a deluge of nothingness...a bunch of useless words with small momentary references to practicality.

He sounds kind of like the joker from dark night

Reading the speech from inside the visor would make giving speeches so much easier than reading through a teleprompter. I believe not seeing the audience would make you much more comfortable.

Just gotta pause fortnite

“the entire 5 senses are now able to be in sense tricked into thinking what is code is reality” Me: STINKY

This audience seemed so bored

Seriously ? Do you believe anybody can do it ? It is not because difficult but practically not possible... Sorry but he is just bullshitting..

I cringed at “let me pause fortnite”

Could have been a much better presentation if he'd worked on a better closing summary...as it is, it all felt somewhat pointless.

I liked the conclusion.. it's like explaining internet in 1990. Now internet is everything everyone everywhere ..I have been reading this book called 21 lessons for 21st century, it really makes you visualize HUGE impact coming soon due to such technologies.

So proud of you Jak! DISRUPT FAM LOVE!

GUYS THE THUMBNAIL HE DOES NOT HAVE HIS HANDS UP!

Am I the only one who thought he was Captain Disillusion due to the yellow jacket?

That’s our boy! So proud he could do such an amazing talk like this

After 3 hours in VR, my headset gives me a headache, from the weight of it. I'd like to know which padding he was using. Because the physical pain of having a headset on would have made me tap out..

This is the best invention mankind ever made. Imagine doctors still learning in school could use virtual technology to test out actually doing a difficult operation on video over and over before attempting the real thing, so many more err examples.

I've seen several videos like this and they say there's only positives to this or that technology they want adopted. Whether it's the internet or whether it is a weaving loom most technologies have unexpected consequences that are not positive. There are trade-offs to be considered that could be troubleshot if they were acknowledged. Such a superficial presentation is this one is troubling

11:05 He thought everyone was gonna laugh

Just a random thought, what if a burglary happened while he was in VR?

Genius idea, you can just have the whole presentation written in the vr room

until you find out you actually haven't lived a single moment. If it's all good then nothing is good.

my dream is to able to talk like him.

It's 2020 with this technology available and computer science at university is still being taught via slides and blackboard. Seriously, tho.

When he said “hold on, let me pause fortnite real quick” I cringed in to another dimension

5 senses? how ..? isnt it just still seeing and hearing? how to smell/taste/feel?

I could of just watched his vid again

god i want virtual reality so bad. my brother's friend came over and we got to use it for like a few days it was the best thing ever but super unhealthy.

Amazing speech and just a great story. I use vr now to study and to game and its changed both for me forever I love it and I'm never going back.

He sounds alot like heath ledger's joker.

Very good, just can't wait till such a new world will be possible, every day if a person wants it that way.

I bet disrupts was reading script in his vr headset somehow

I had chills.. he is amazing.

What is r3al? How do you define real? If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. -Morpheus

Next Ted Talk: What I've learned from spending 5 weeks buried in sand.

He was the face of disrupt, man. I hope he is doing well these days.

Anyone think he has notes and stuff he’s looking at in his headset?

guy is acting too much, not authentic but interesting

You can shower in that thing?

That was extremely melodramatic

Really you're going Ready Player one like the movie

try lucid dreaming... shame we are not trained to do it when it's like a totally limitless virtual reality...

How was his vision?

He had so many slappin jokes and they were just dead silent

Jak is my favorite content creator when ti comes to new technology. His videos are so well edited and just interesting to watch

*just like the simulations*

Where can I get a VR headset with all these cool simulations? I don’t see any for sale

a week is nothing try a month
