@@TheSkyHive You know the famous saying "we were too busy figuring out if we could we didn't stop to think if we should". Look what Facebook has done to society (more bad then good) and you want to completely immerse your life into all that? you're already a slave and you don't even realize it.
Current vr treadmills that function on using a low friction shoe and low friction surface you run in place on are honestly not that great, at least from personal experience the tech is nowhere near where I would considering using it on a daily basis unfortunately. As a fun gimmick now and then? Sure, but not much else
From sights and sounds, we're progressing towards integrating touch/haptics and motion (walk/run/jump), including temperature feedback. Can't wait to see how the technology intends to implement olfactory/scent feedback. Once we're able to smell our virtual environment, the loop might just be truly closed. The future of virtual reality is exciting indeed.
facebook: we've created the first and most advanced tactile gloves. HaptX: *are our patents a joke to you?* seriously though, the fact that zuck boy didn't even acknowledge the existence of HaptX really just shows what kind of "metaverse" he wants.
Even funnier is that bHaptics just announced their own gloves, which will probably beat the other two to the consumer market at a relatively affordable price point. Mind you, they aren't nearly as sophisticated, since the use an LFE motor in each fingertip, similar to their vests and other modules. It won't be nearly the same sense of touch, but for gaming that could add just enough of a sensation to add a new level of realism. Come to think of it, I'm surprised he didn't mention bHaptics at all, since they're the only company that has a haptic suit on the retail market right now.
@@ward0g415 its still a very small market of enthusiasts at this point in time but when this type of tech hits the mainstream, i think most people will be fine with basic force feedback, finger tracking and LFE motors.

@@pile_of_ants That's very backwards mate. Competition lowers the price. If there is non then they got little reason to lower the price. If anything they got reason to increase it because where else is the consumer going to go.
How old are you? I'm lucky because I'm only 21. If I keep fit and it takes another 15 years for all this to come out, then I'll have a good 20 years of playtime
Imagine if they made a harness that "hangs" you from the roof allowing you to feel like you're flying, swimming, or falling! That would be awesome if you ask me.
Considering their goal is mass adoption of the product, it will be affordable. Not to mention subsidizing the cost via collecting and selling consumer data/info.
We could have a system with a camera or IR sensor to track our body movements, along with gloves and shoes to feel the ground beneath our feet. A body suit could enhance the experience by allowing us to feel touch or act as a sixth sense, using vibrations and pulses to help us perceive the world around us. Additionally, the suit could include temperature control to simulate environmental changes like heat or cold, and integrated force feedback to simulate resistance or impact. Eye-tracking technology could enhance visual realism and interaction, while advanced audio systems could provide spatial sound to immerse us fully. The incorporation of scent dispensers could add another layer of realism, making virtual environments feel even more lifelike. These innovations could revolutionize VR, creating truly immersive and multi-sensory experiences.
Juuuuust a heads up. The Virtuix Omni One is not on the market yet. They were supposed to release Q4 of 2021 here but never did. The treadmill you show @ 8:28 is the Katwalk C from KatVR, which is currently the ONLY consumer VR treadmill on the market. It is great though and I use mine all the time. Cheers!
I was going to say the same thing. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who spotted this. I'm also surprised he didn't mention the Infinideck since that's what Parzival's treadmill in Ready Player One was actually based on (the Sixers used treadmills based on the Omni One prototype).
Never going to happen. Sorry. It's easier to license it all out then build it all. If it does happen, it will take a very long while, and even then by the time they're done, better third party would have been out by then.
@@Darklord_tK the weight is not what is being aimed at here its more just touch so if you grab an apple in VR you would feel like if you just held it IRl but you wouldnt feel the wight of the apple if it was (hypothetically) 150 pounds your hand wouldnt just fall or your muscles contract.
I dont think this will be some kind of break through. It probably wont be long until we will be able to convince the brain that everything that happens in VR is happening in reality and lets us feel everything that we think we feel. It will be awesome....and scary.
Yeah I agree I would rather not take this approach but it seems to be the simplest and most cost effective solution though I have come up with some non brain solution that just don’t seem like they would be worth it you have have so many senses. I think the other possibility is the brain tricking itself into thinking things are real which thrill seeker experience’s with the Varjo Aro don’t think I spelled that right sorry.
@@PG13park We need something like the VR Headset in Sword Art Online, only if its possible. Though Neuralink is doing a a bit similar thing, its not capable of full sensations
if we convince the brain somehow that everything in VR is Real, then that would be start of matrix, we will forget we are in VR, and no one tell us because everyone will be in VR
I know some people think they need smell options, but tbh touch is so much more important imo as long as the game doesn't constantly reference smell. We already have sight and audio. Eventually taste *might* implemented, but even though I cannot smell anymore I'm convinced that smell is better than taste right now. I'd say this is the order in which I'd deem importance. Sight>Sound>Touch>Smell>Taste
6:50 isn't that a literal quote from SAO? that's like legit a main point in the show. and have you guys heard about the brand HALF DIVE thats making a vr headset that looks almost identical to the full dive and even said they are taking huge inspiration from the show? not only that, but a VR SAO game is coming out in February 2022
mew there isn't a VR SAO game coming out in February 2022.. it's just the Global version of the event that happened a couple weeks ago in Japan. It's more of a "history of SAO" promotional event where you can pay to participate in the janky Skull Reaper battle. Mew also that battle was uploaded to VRChat so you could just do it there.
The way I see it, the metaverse is essentially already here. It's just in its infancy. We already have numerous programs, from VR multiplayer games to VRChat and similar applications, that allow people to connect in VR over the internet. The catch is, they aren't connected as one single experience like the Oasis. You basically have the Oculus or SteamVR launcher, then the program. As I see it, cross platform capability is a core facet of the metaverse. Meta, regardless of how they rebranded themselves, is gating themselves away from the metaverse by producing console-like hardware and focusing on their own storefront. Sure, they have the largest market share of headsets because the Quest 2 is affordable, since they subsidise the cost of it like any console and make up the difference in game sales. Also, Valve is the only real competing VR storefront right now, but they don't limit you to just their Index headset to use their ecosystem. It's a bit reminiscent of the Apple vs Android situation, or Xbox vs PlayStation vs PC. It's all restrictive, and the original concept of the metaverse that Neal Stephenson first described in Snow Crash was the complete opposite of what Meta is working towards. I do hope that a lot of their proposed products come to the market at competitive price point, but if I can't use it without other Oculus or Meta products I wouldn't consider it. Also, I think you have left a few companies out of your video that are worth mentioning. When you mention the Virtuix Omni One, you actually show a clip of Thrillseeker on his Kat Walk C. Kat VR currently has the only omnidirectional treadmill on the consumer market, and while it's not perfect it's a great first generation product. Both KatVR and Virtuix have commercial models, but there are a lot of sketchy claims about Virtuix's consumer treadmill, like their intent to have their own headset, storefront, and subscription service, which sounds to me like they're more interested in roping in more investors than actually bringing a consumer product to market. While the Sixers used omnidirectional treadmills based on the Omni One, the treadmill Parzival used in Ready Player One was actually based on the Infinadeck. They're only focused on the commercial market right now, but they have a great design that is essentially a 2D powered treadmill that can keep you centred while running. I don't see this being a consumer product any time soon, but it's a good look at what is on the horison. HaptX has also been working on VR gloves for a much longer time. You showed them briefly, but you didn't mention them or talk about them. While they aren't anywhere close to or really even considering bringing a consumer product to market, the prototypes Meta has shown are so similar to what they've been working on that HaptX has accused them of copying their technology. That said, Haptx has let Meta staff try out their prototypes. It's entirely possible that Meta caught up to them by developing their own product, but either way Meta isn't the only company in this game. In fact, there's a third company for haptics that deserves mentioning. Currently, bHaptics has the only consumer haptic products on the market. Their vests and other modules use LFE motors to vibrate and simulate impacts and touch. While this could never be as realistic as the microfluidic haptic feedback that HaptX and Meta are working on, it's just enough of a stimuli in high paced gaming to give that realistic sensation, and they are relatively affordable. Also, a few days ago (after you posted this video), they announced they are working on their own gloves with an LFE motor in each fingertip, which is due to be released by the end of 2022. While this won't provide nearly the same sensation as the HaptX or Meta gloves, it'll be on the market long before them and provide a decent level of feedback for gaming.
So what if there's any company that isolated their userbase there can't be a Metaverse? Why does everything being connected what makes it a Metaverse. In my opinion the internet is the Metaverse. The Metaverse is just a means to connect human minds together.
Great video it was very informative and really exciting I can't wait to see the development of these devices and hope we can have some commercially ready within the next 3-5 years. I don't know how accurate this estimation is but I think that is a reasonable time period to wait while these things are developing.
I am curious how it will turn out. In my opinion, nothing works if you need different sizes (for the gloves) and a lot of space for free movement. The hands are only two parts of the body. Have you ever tried to sit down on a virtual chair?
The problem with using _READY PLAYER ONE_ as the blueprint for a metaverse, is that too many companies seem to be moving forward with it as if IOI were _aspirational,_ and not literally an evil megacorporation.
IOI was a completely separate organization from the Metaverse creators. They employed people to compete and acquire virtual currency and items in exchange for real life money. The evil portion is that people became indentured servants to them. The Metaverse itself in Ready Player One is an aspirational place.
@@TheJustinShowAndCo None of that changes the reality that all the companies leading the charge for the creation of a metaverse clearly looked to the cyberpunk dystopia created by IOI as a _goal_ and not a _cautionary tale._ Need I remind you that Facebook literally tried to put advertisements inside VR games? The only reason they relented was that it was clear they didn't have enough control over the VR market to get away with it.
essentially IOI were a normal company that wanted to own the oasis to make them money through advertising ect. How exactly is this different to facebook now?
@@DripChip_ It's difficult when people make my point for me. _It's not different, that's the problem!_ Facebook saw IOI and went "Solid plan, shame it was foiled by a bunch kids! How do _we_ get in on the whole 'profiting from human misery' thing?"
@@TheJustinShowAndCo And no, btw, the evil part was trying to become the sole owner and beneficiary of a globe-spanning virtual world. All the other evil shit was done in service to that goal.
Being able to "feel" the vr world with gloves is cool and all, but it's fine if they just release vr gloves, that can't feel, I'm 100% fine with that, because everyone's been wanting them for so very long (myself included). So just the gloves would fantastic, gloves where you can feel would be even better, but if they are hard to make, then I speak for myself and most other people when I say, give us the regular gloves
I would like VR for people like me to do things that I used to do. I have MS and I can't run or ski anymore. Hell, long walks are challenging. I would love to put on a VR headset and do things that I can't from the comfort and safety of a chair.
The Metaverse isn't Facebook's... They bought the name so we THINK it's theirs. Please stop saying the Metaverse is owned by Facebook. Meta is the name of a company in Chicago that Facebook stole the name from (there's a legal battle).
Just to clarify for people, the first footage of an omnidirectional treadmill they show here is the KAT Walk C being used by my man ThrillSeeker. After the 2013 is when actual footage of the Virtuix Omni is shown. The KAT Walk C isn't as advanced as the Omni, but it is available for anyone to buy whereas the Omni is only available for commercial use at the moment.
I think a good idea for commercial VR would be to have buildings with tanks that would have those water bead things that would have micro robotics in them to sense your movements and also provide haptic and possibly even thermal feedback and The face mask can provide not only oxygen but aromatic feedback as well, for parts with smells.
a device releasing aromas would need refills and would be clunky, hopefully that problem gets solved cause smelling the environment would be surreal in VR
@@kingnova980 well this would mostly be for the commercial scene, like VR arcades, but I'm sure there will be enthusiasts who buy these big things for their homes too. They'll mainly be marketed for commercial use. What I'm thinking is that the base of one of the tanks alone will cover an 8'w × 8'l × 8'h area. Plus about 3 × 3 × 3 for the rest of the unit, unless you have a multi set up. Then you will have how many tanks, plus server rack(s) so you can run multiple with less space than if you did each one individually.
It's both funny and sad to be calling meta's "unique" gloves groundbreaking and all that. Sure, it might be the first truly *streamlined* haptic feedback glove, but there are several, years old products already available, using the same technology facebook claims to be their own (when it's already patented by others since prior to 2015). It does that crap because it can dunk a ton of overhead profits and drown rivals in patent infringment lawsuits that last years. It's a dirty and shameless tactic. It's really dissapointing because the product itself seems so damn sleek.
While probably costing a fortune, those robotic shoes do help one issue I have, and that is space, the place I have to play VR currently doesn't have enough space for something like an omni-directional treadmill, as bad as I want one.
Honestly, the most important sense is sense of movement and stability - most underrated, but still the most important for good VR experience. I can easily settle down for controls like in Half-Life Alyx and I won't be disappointed, but motion sickness really ruions my day.
You just gave me an idea. I wonder if anyone thought of a VR platform you stand on. The platform would vibrate according to what is happening in game. Like feeling an enemies footfalls or feeling rumbling of the virtual ground during an explosion ect. Would increase immersion a lot in my opinion.
@@nNicok Rumble is pretty easy. Just some motors. The main issue is lack of real life locomotion. It's going to be a while before we make an omni treadmill though.
while different people are susceptible to different levels of motion sickness, with enough useage of it, your brain can be taught to combat and overcome it. I never suffered badly with motion sickness, I did get vertigo a few times when I had my original Rift, but now it doesnt bother at all, no matter I do. I wont even look at a VR game these days unless its got full, seamless, fluid motion, none of the old style teleportation nonsense.
Vr headsets was big news back in 2015. Now that its 2022 look at all the new things theyre inventing. Imagine another 10 years go by. Its just gonna keep on getting more crazy
I see a lot of comments of people being excited about them gloves and all the vr gear. I too am excited but also cautious and maybe a bit scared, might be the wrong word to use, but to imagine a wolrd where we rather are in a virtual enviorement instead of the real world is kinda sad, especially seeing how less and less people probably will then care about ourplanet and all the stuff going wrong with it at the moment. Now as you said in your video the stimulations our body recieves makes it think it is in the real world, now if the haptic suits and gloves gives us these stimulations they will essentially make us believe we are in this virtual world, full immersion might sound cool, but forgetting you are actually ina simulated reality is not cool.
This is going to be awesome! Hopefully they'll make the oculus more comfortable. Bugs me they're giving credit to Zuckerberg, the dumbass has nothing to do with this, the engineers deserve the credit!
you can get aftermarket stuff that makes the oculus more comfortable. I have an aftermarket strap and a replacement face contact cushion and its extremely comfortable
This was a nice overview of all the accessories/ devices being created to improve immersion in VR. thank you! I actually learned about some projects I was not aware of.
Pretty sure that will be a real thing one day - some people will absolutely want that level of immersion. 'Pain fidelity %' or such will end up a slider on a settings screen. Probably come some time after VR stops being screens in front of your eyes and instead stimulates nerves directly, which is likely a bit away.
The pain suit has existed for years, but it is quite expensive and isn't a consumer product. It can also move your body against your will, as it uses electricity on your muscles. The suits you can see people using are haptic suits. Doing the full head, arms, hands, chest, and back is $1,300.
I'm mostly hoping for accurate finger tracking. I do a bit of sign language on VRChat and would like to actually use real signs rather than the altered VRChat signs that are designed for the limitations of the controllers
I did see people in VRChat doing somewhat okay finger signs with the Index controllers. Biggest limitation right now is lateral finger spreading, although that's apparently coming with the Deckard controllers.
Couldn't meta do bands similar to the wrist ones but on your armpit area to scan your arm? You could hide it under your shirt and therefor wear it to events and do something similar on your thighs to do a scan on your thighs down? Then maybe one on your neck that shows your face / mouth area and could replicate your movements of your face and eyes to make it more realistic? Or would there be issues for these?
I don't think VR games will use these, It's for office work and small applications. Just my opinion 😁 I like the touch controllers, no need to replace them, it's nice to feel the gun handle instead of air 😊
But do your fingers stop when grabbing objects ? Because there's some difference between feeling objects and holding objects. And Brian Farmer is right, what about movement ??
I actually looking forward for VR in office use cases. Current options for office still limited. But honestly I love dive inside an immersed world, as it separates my home from my workspace through virtual space.
The omni treadmill looks like a replica of the one used in Ready Player One because that movie actually just uses an omni treadmill from that company as the movie prop
Omnidirectional Pads and Omnidirectional Treadmills are Two Separate things entirely. Especially given the treadmill does exists and works. The pads require specific slippers and most do not support jumping at all.
This video makes me want to get rid of my devices and get out in the real world... If this was just a huge game i would love it but the fact that it takes over the real life and work is scary Just imagine when this really takes off. You decide to go to the park to enjoy the beautiful weather and play with your dog but you quickly realise that you’re all alone because everyone decided to be in the Metaverse. The Metaverse is a very flawed idea in the way that it looks promising and downright interesting on the surface, but extremely horrifying and disfuncional when you look at what consequences it may have on societies. This so called "social interaction" will only diminish actual social interaction up to a point where nothing will be as genuine as living life the way it was meant to be lived. Imagine wanting to be alone and hanging out in a meta world instead of going somewhere in real life... imagine how depressing it would be to celebrate your birthday with VR with a virtual cake and friends and then you take off your VR headset and realise you're actually all alone This is 8 minutes of motivation to get back to building real life human interactions and connections with the people around us, and getting the heck off the internet, Considering it's now impossible to have a conversation with somebody without then pulling out their phone I feel like this is going to be a huge issue. The fact that so much money and resources would have been spent on this... Tell's me that they already know it will be economically viable. In other words, they know this will be extremely addictive. Technology is severely limiting our character as human beings. To a great extent, we no longer have to have to have patience, hard labor, physically socializing, be self-sufficient, learning the hard way, etc. It seriosuly takes away from any human effort or desire to test ourselves and endure hardships with many things we would otherwise learn greatly from. A seriously over-looked phenomenon that will bring us to our grave. Thankfully, judging by the completely negative responses this concept has received so far, people seem to be on the right page, and that's good to know.
I agree with you with all that you said but people on the right page? Is the one thing I disagree with. This is the future unfortunately and technology wise, it's just going to get more immersive and the VR keeps selling, the need for these gloves becomes more. So I do see the world becoming in a way were, we live and work in the house and when we want to have a break or a walk we use VR.
Im hugely into VR. I have been since 2012, "metaverse" is overhyped. I promise it isn't gonna be what you think it is. I can tell a lot of you haven't used VR. yes, it does make you feel in another world to begin with but everyone acts like it's a replacement for our lives. all these "metaverses" with "real estate" is so niche and all hypehype it will never have no real value. No one is going to pay for this space with real money unless it's hype beast like all the NFt and Crypto boys. Metaverse already exist like Roblox for example. Vr should be about endless opurtunity to experince things not waste your money to advertise i promise you, it will not work that way. I can guarantee we are far from a meteverse
I honestly wouldn't even mind if we don't get any haptic accessories yet. I would just really like to see some affordable VR gloves, that tracks even better than the controllers, like an enhanced version of oculus hand tracking.
Will be interesting to see whoever can tackle the challenge of simulating resistance. Like if I pick up a rock, these gloves might be able to make me feel like I'm holding a rock, but if I really wanted to, I could keep squeezing until I clip through its surface and immersion is still broken. Simulating resistance, or I guess in game terms "collision" is in my opinion, the real challenge to VR.
I'd imagine it's impossible to do this with gloves. the only way i'd think this possible is to make your brain think there is actually a rock there and not allowing your hand to clench past the rock. or if the gloves used some kind of opposing force that wont let your fingers get a certain distance away from each other
That haptic glove is sick. The only problem is detecting what to fire and what your holding… I seen many company’s do this(because their lazy or they are a factor) but they normally skip the realistic part and just fire all the pins at once if you just clutch your fist. It may be reliant on the games developers…
From a total idiot when it comes to technology from a production and development point this seems only a decade or less away. Seeing what they have now feels like other early technologies that were developed. I'm looking forward to this technology being available and affordable in the very near future!!
I look at the body suit, and all I can think of is that "Animotion" company from that episode of the Simpsons, where he kept the suit on in the bathroom. lol
I wanna see someone fully geared out with a full body haptics suit meta's vr gloves and everything they can possibly use for the vr to make it as immersive as possible that would actually be so cool to see

How old are you? I'm lucky because I'm only 21. If I keep fit and it takes another 15 years for all this to come out, then I'll have a good 20 years of playtime
@@chillysanders4415 I'm 24.
Imagine if they made a harness that "hangs" you from the roof allowing you to feel like you're flying, swimming, or falling! That would be awesome if you ask me.
It'd be nice to play a role of a superhero that flies through the air... complete with controlled fans arranged in a circle.
So I assume this is a joke but when your flying in vr as of rn it already feels like your flying

@@Khaotism It doesn't. You're literally standing.

Considering their goal is mass adoption of the product, it will be affordable. Not to mention subsidizing the cost via collecting and selling consumer data/info.
Once I see the price, the lucid vr gloves are going to become even more popular
VR is really coming along well. I can’t wait. Oh I have a layer to add on VR. I’m making the llc tomorrow.
You’re ripped
We could have a system with a camera or IR sensor to track our body movements, along with gloves and shoes to feel the ground beneath our feet. A body suit could enhance the experience by allowing us to feel touch or act as a sixth sense, using vibrations and pulses to help us perceive the world around us.
Additionally, the suit could include temperature control to simulate environmental changes like heat or cold, and integrated force feedback to simulate resistance or impact. Eye-tracking technology could enhance visual realism and interaction, while advanced audio systems could provide spatial sound to immerse us fully. The incorporation of scent dispensers could add another layer of realism, making virtual environments feel even more lifelike. These innovations could revolutionize VR, creating truly immersive and multi-sensory experiences.
One day
Juuuuust a heads up. The Virtuix Omni One is not on the market yet. They were supposed to release Q4 of 2021 here but never did. The treadmill you show @ 8:28 is the Katwalk C from KatVR, which is currently the ONLY consumer VR treadmill on the market. It is great though and I use mine all the time. Cheers!
I was going to say the same thing. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who spotted this. I'm also surprised he didn't mention the Infinideck since that's what Parzival's treadmill in Ready Player One was actually based on (the Sixers used treadmills based on the Omni One prototype).
All these companies need to come together and sell the whole package of the best headset, gloves, suit and running device all in one giant box.
Never going to happen. Sorry. It's easier to license it all out then build it all. If it does happen, it will take a very long while, and even then by the time they're done, better third party would have been out by then.
@@ZiggyDaZigster We can always dream.
You can get a headset
If we can get wireless gloves implemented into fps games it will change everything
Vr fps games are already fun as hell but feeling the weight of a vr gun in your hands would be a totally different level of immersion
@@Darklord_tK the weight is not what is being aimed at here its more just touch so if you grab an apple in VR you would feel like if you just held it IRl but you wouldnt feel the wight of the apple if it was (hypothetically) 150 pounds your hand wouldnt just fall or your muscles contract.
I dont think this will be some kind of break through. It probably wont be long until we will be able to convince the brain that everything that happens in VR is happening in reality and lets us feel everything that we think we feel. It will be awesome....and scary.
are you talking literally or you mean like horror movies
Yeah I agree I would rather not take this approach but it seems to be the simplest and most cost effective solution though I have come up with some non brain solution that just don’t seem like they would be worth it you have have so many senses. I think the other possibility is the brain tricking itself into thinking things are real which thrill seeker experience’s with the Varjo Aro don’t think I spelled that right sorry.
@BeyondSpace someone had to say it. Amen brother. We'll escape one day
@@PG13park We need something like the VR Headset in Sword Art Online, only if its possible. Though Neuralink is doing a a bit similar thing, its not capable of full sensations
if we convince the brain somehow that everything in VR is Real, then that would be start of matrix, we will forget we are in VR, and no one tell us because everyone will be in VR
Should be titled: “Meta steals more IP from startups”, classic
yeah sad i hope that it will connect to pc but it probably won't
well mark zuckenberg has the money and manpower.
I never considered the 'space race' of the Metaverse. Pretty interesting!
People are freaking out over this as if they were inventing new things, without knowing other lesser known companies have done it before them already
But soon Meta will own all those companies.
@@dracud True, and the original comment was pointless anywsy
I know some people think they need smell options, but tbh touch is so much more important imo as long as the game doesn't constantly reference smell. We already have sight and audio.
Eventually taste *might* implemented, but even though I cannot smell anymore I'm convinced that smell is better than taste right now.
I'd say this is the order in which I'd deem importance.
Sight>Sound>Touch>Smell>Taste
6:50 isn't that a literal quote from SAO? that's like legit a main point in the show. and have you guys heard about the brand HALF DIVE thats making a vr headset that looks almost identical to the full dive and even said they are taking huge inspiration from the show? not only that, but a VR SAO game is coming out in February 2022
Yoooo, I’m down
Imagine u get stuck in it 💀
@@dough1222 imagine the nausea💀
I'd get stuck in it without them asking me to
mew there isn't a VR SAO game coming out in February 2022.. it's just the Global version of the event that happened a couple weeks ago in Japan. It's more of a "history of SAO" promotional event where you can pay to participate in the janky Skull Reaper battle. Mew also that battle was uploaded to VRChat so you could just do it there.
The way I see it, the metaverse is essentially already here. It's just in its infancy. We already have numerous programs, from VR multiplayer games to VRChat and similar applications, that allow people to connect in VR over the internet. The catch is, they aren't connected as one single experience like the Oasis. You basically have the Oculus or SteamVR launcher, then the program.
As I see it, cross platform capability is a core facet of the metaverse. Meta, regardless of how they rebranded themselves, is gating themselves away from the metaverse by producing console-like hardware and focusing on their own storefront. Sure, they have the largest market share of headsets because the Quest 2 is affordable, since they subsidise the cost of it like any console and make up the difference in game sales. Also, Valve is the only real competing VR storefront right now, but they don't limit you to just their Index headset to use their ecosystem. It's a bit reminiscent of the Apple vs Android situation, or Xbox vs PlayStation vs PC. It's all restrictive, and the original concept of the metaverse that Neal Stephenson first described in Snow Crash was the complete opposite of what Meta is working towards. I do hope that a lot of their proposed products come to the market at competitive price point, but if I can't use it without other Oculus or Meta products I wouldn't consider it.
Also, I think you have left a few companies out of your video that are worth mentioning. When you mention the Virtuix Omni One, you actually show a clip of Thrillseeker on his Kat Walk C. Kat VR currently has the only omnidirectional treadmill on the consumer market, and while it's not perfect it's a great first generation product. Both KatVR and Virtuix have commercial models, but there are a lot of sketchy claims about Virtuix's consumer treadmill, like their intent to have their own headset, storefront, and subscription service, which sounds to me like they're more interested in roping in more investors than actually bringing a consumer product to market.
While the Sixers used omnidirectional treadmills based on the Omni One, the treadmill Parzival used in Ready Player One was actually based on the Infinadeck. They're only focused on the commercial market right now, but they have a great design that is essentially a 2D powered treadmill that can keep you centred while running. I don't see this being a consumer product any time soon, but it's a good look at what is on the horison.
HaptX has also been working on VR gloves for a much longer time. You showed them briefly, but you didn't mention them or talk about them. While they aren't anywhere close to or really even considering bringing a consumer product to market, the prototypes Meta has shown are so similar to what they've been working on that HaptX has accused them of copying their technology. That said, Haptx has let Meta staff try out their prototypes. It's entirely possible that Meta caught up to them by developing their own product, but either way Meta isn't the only company in this game.
In fact, there's a third company for haptics that deserves mentioning. Currently, bHaptics has the only consumer haptic products on the market. Their vests and other modules use LFE motors to vibrate and simulate impacts and touch. While this could never be as realistic as the microfluidic haptic feedback that HaptX and Meta are working on, it's just enough of a stimuli in high paced gaming to give that realistic sensation, and they are relatively affordable. Also, a few days ago (after you posted this video), they announced they are working on their own gloves with an LFE motor in each fingertip, which is due to be released by the end of 2022. While this won't provide nearly the same sensation as the HaptX or Meta gloves, it'll be on the market long before them and provide a decent level of feedback for gaming.
Holy shit you really know what your talking about. Good shit I learned a lot :)
Fucking God u had alot of time 🤣😂
So what if there's any company that isolated their userbase there can't be a Metaverse? Why does everything being connected what makes it a Metaverse. In my opinion the internet is the Metaverse. The Metaverse is just a means to connect human minds together.
They want to put Facebook and publicity + spy of you and more violences etc. This is chit
Damn we both had a lot to say when it came to this video lmmfao
Imagine the vr and "metaverse" worlds aliens have. Full dive? Yes please.
I want full dive..but without the death part lol
Maybe you are in their metaverse.........
@@fightingdreamers77 why?
@@Fortnite-os9ny Watch SAO to find out why. Abridged version is vastly better though.
Great video it was very informative and really exciting I can't wait to see the development of these devices and hope we can have some commercially ready within the next 3-5 years. I don't know how accurate this estimation is but I think that is a reasonable time period to wait while these things are developing.
I am curious how it will turn out. In my opinion, nothing works if you need different sizes (for the gloves) and a lot of space for free movement. The hands are only two parts of the body. Have you ever tried to sit down on a virtual chair?
you just scan a real chair into VR. I have my couch scanned onto my oculus home environment. took less than a minute
I play my vr outside only
@@davidross5031 DONT. the sunlight can ruin the headset
@@galaxycraftingsikk but it's the only place I can play! And I play in a carport thing it sorta blocks it
Mark Zuckerberg probably saw Ready player one and just went “I will make this a reality”
The problem with using _READY PLAYER ONE_ as the blueprint for a metaverse, is that too many companies seem to be moving forward with it as if IOI were _aspirational,_ and not literally an evil megacorporation.
IOI was a completely separate organization from the Metaverse creators. They employed people to compete and acquire virtual currency and items in exchange for real life money. The evil portion is that people became indentured servants to them. The Metaverse itself in Ready Player One is an aspirational place.
@@TheJustinShowAndCo None of that changes the reality that all the companies leading the charge for the creation of a metaverse clearly looked to the cyberpunk dystopia created by IOI as a _goal_ and not a _cautionary tale._ Need I remind you that Facebook literally tried to put advertisements inside VR games? The only reason they relented was that it was clear they didn't have enough control over the VR market to get away with it.
essentially IOI were a normal company that wanted to own the oasis to make them money through advertising ect. How exactly is this different to facebook now?
@@DripChip_ It's difficult when people make my point for me. _It's not different, that's the problem!_ Facebook saw IOI and went "Solid plan, shame it was foiled by a bunch kids! How do _we_ get in on the whole 'profiting from human misery' thing?"
@@TheJustinShowAndCo And no, btw, the evil part was trying to become the sole owner and beneficiary of a globe-spanning virtual world. All the other evil shit was done in service to that goal.
I love how ready player one came out and literally every VR enthusiast was like “yep that’s what the whole industry is going for now”
Being able to "feel" the vr world with gloves is cool and all, but it's fine if they just release vr gloves, that can't feel, I'm 100% fine with that, because everyone's been wanting them for so very long (myself included). So just the gloves would fantastic, gloves where you can feel would be even better, but if they are hard to make, then I speak for myself and most other people when I say, give us the regular gloves
that's my thought, launch regular gloves first use that to collect user feedback to put into the next step of feeling and all that afterwards.
Normal gloves already exist
😂
But why do you need gloves when on quest 2 you already can use your hands?
Gloves that you can’t feel are basically just hand tracking
I would like VR for people like me to do things that I used to do. I have MS and I can't run or ski anymore. Hell, long walks are challenging. I would love to put on a VR headset and do things that I can't from the comfort and safety of a chair.
The Metaverse isn't Facebook's... They bought the name so we THINK it's theirs. Please stop saying the Metaverse is owned by Facebook. Meta is the name of a company in Chicago that Facebook stole the name from (there's a legal battle).
Just to clarify for people, the first footage of an omnidirectional treadmill they show here is the KAT Walk C being used by my man ThrillSeeker. After the 2013 is when actual footage of the Virtuix Omni is shown. The KAT Walk C isn't as advanced as the Omni, but it is available for anyone to buy whereas the Omni is only available for commercial use at the moment.
I hope this will give me some feeling back as I lost most sensation from a stroke so it would be nice to know what it feels like to feel again🤔
Try magic mushrooms, might create neurogenisis and start healing yourself
@@zxt6788 I tried a bean but only farts happen with them. Mushrooms sound great
cant wait until someone makes a hand torture device in vr that actually works
I think a good idea for commercial VR would be to have buildings with tanks that would have those water bead things that would have micro robotics in them to sense your movements and also provide haptic and possibly even thermal feedback and The face mask can provide not only oxygen but aromatic feedback as well, for parts with smells.
a device releasing aromas would need refills and would be clunky, hopefully that problem gets solved cause smelling the environment would be surreal in VR
@@kingnova980 well this would mostly be for the commercial scene, like VR arcades, but I'm sure there will be enthusiasts who buy these big things for their homes too. They'll mainly be marketed for commercial use. What I'm thinking is that the base of one of the tanks alone will cover an 8'w × 8'l × 8'h area. Plus about 3 × 3 × 3 for the rest of the unit, unless you have a multi set up. Then you will have how many tanks, plus server rack(s) so you can run multiple with less space than if you did each one individually.
Omni directional treadmills are in the works, too. Working prototypes exsist. They are super cool and ya'll should check em out.
It's both funny and sad to be calling meta's "unique" gloves groundbreaking and all that.
Sure, it might be the first truly *streamlined* haptic feedback glove, but there are several, years old products already available, using the same technology facebook claims to be their own (when it's already patented by others since prior to 2015).
It does that crap because it can dunk a ton of overhead profits and drown rivals in patent infringment lawsuits that last years. It's a dirty and shameless tactic.
It's really dissapointing because the product itself seems so damn sleek.
While probably costing a fortune, those robotic shoes do help one issue I have, and that is space, the place I have to play VR currently doesn't have enough space for something like an omni-directional treadmill, as bad as I want one.
Honestly, the most important sense is sense of movement and stability - most underrated, but still the most important for good VR experience.
I can easily settle down for controls like in Half-Life Alyx and I won't be disappointed, but motion sickness really ruions my day.
You just gave me an idea. I wonder if anyone thought of a VR platform you stand on. The platform would vibrate according to what is happening in game. Like feeling an enemies footfalls or feeling rumbling of the virtual ground during an explosion ect. Would increase immersion a lot in my opinion.
@@nNicok Rumble is pretty easy. Just some motors. The main issue is lack of real life locomotion. It's going to be a while before we make an omni treadmill though.
@@sheepish2159 KAT VR
@@amadchaudhari7474 yep
while different people are susceptible to different levels of motion sickness, with enough useage of it, your brain can be taught to combat and overcome it. I never suffered badly with motion sickness, I did get vertigo a few times when I had my original Rift, but now it doesnt bother at all, no matter I do. I wont even look at a VR game these days unless its got full, seamless, fluid motion, none of the old style teleportation nonsense.
Vr headsets was big news back in 2015. Now that its 2022 look at all the new things theyre inventing. Imagine another 10 years go by. Its just gonna keep on getting more crazy
The tesla suit is a nice idea but what about when you sweat? Can you wash it?
G tag players be like
I see a lot of comments of people being excited about them gloves and all the vr gear. I too am excited but also cautious and maybe a bit scared, might be the wrong word to use, but to imagine a wolrd where we rather are in a virtual enviorement instead of the real world is kinda sad, especially seeing how less and less people probably will then care about ourplanet and all the stuff going wrong with it at the moment.
Now as you said in your video the stimulations our body recieves makes it think it is in the real world, now if the haptic suits and gloves gives us these stimulations they will essentially make us believe we are in this virtual world, full immersion might sound cool, but forgetting you are actually ina simulated reality is not cool.
I’m not a fan of Facebook at all but I’m glad they’re forcing things along. Other companies will have to innovate to keep up
What's the actual reason for not being a fan of Facebook..
I can’t believe that ready player one in its entirety could be real within the next 5 years
This is going to be awesome! Hopefully they'll make the oculus more comfortable. Bugs me they're giving credit to Zuckerberg, the dumbass has nothing to do with this, the engineers deserve the credit!
true it's always the big man stealing all the credit from his employee's labor and that's just wrong
His companies money pays for all the R&D.
Oculus is gone
you can get aftermarket stuff that makes the oculus more comfortable. I have an aftermarket strap and a replacement face contact cushion and its extremely comfortable
The Future of VR is Bright
This was a nice overview of all the accessories/ devices being created to improve immersion in VR. thank you! I actually learned about some projects I was not aware of.
Damn you adding that Meta is not to be blindly trusted really added a lot to this video, making it feel more realistic than idealistic, nice video
oh my gaaaaaawd ready player one anyone?!?!??!!
The first game I ever thought about was VRchat, just imagine how cool it would be?
We know we've gone too far when they start implementing pain features. Can't wait until that happens.
Pretty sure that will be a real thing one day - some people will absolutely want that level of immersion. 'Pain fidelity %' or such will end up a slider on a settings screen.
Probably come some time after VR stops being screens in front of your eyes and instead stimulates nerves directly, which is likely a bit away.
Its already hear you can buy one for $299
The pain suit has existed for years, but it is quite expensive and isn't a consumer product. It can also move your body against your will, as it uses electricity on your muscles.
The suits you can see people using are haptic suits. Doing the full head, arms, hands, chest, and back is $1,300.
I have soo many ideas that can be used for this technology. The possibilities are endless.
I'm mostly hoping for accurate finger tracking. I do a bit of sign language on VRChat and would like to actually use real signs rather than the altered VRChat signs that are designed for the limitations of the controllers
TRUEE!!
I did see people in VRChat doing somewhat okay finger signs with the Index controllers. Biggest limitation right now is lateral finger spreading, although that's apparently coming with the Deckard controllers.
Couldn't meta do bands similar to the wrist ones but on your armpit area to scan your arm? You could hide it under your shirt and therefor wear it to events and do something similar on your thighs to do a scan on your thighs down? Then maybe one on your neck that shows your face / mouth area and could replicate your movements of your face and eyes to make it more realistic? Or would there be issues for these?
These techs paired with Unreal Engine 5 would truly be an enhanced experience.
Honestly I’m totally cool with a suit that causes me pain when I get hit with a sword or a bullet. That’s pretty awesome.
I don't think VR games will use these, It's for office work and small applications. Just my opinion 😁 I like the touch controllers, no need to replace them, it's nice to feel the gun handle instead of air 😊
It said it will have things on it to make u feel whatever you are holding
@@alexrad5616 its cool, but how will we handle movement? Using these without any BCI or omni directional treadmill will be tough
But do your fingers stop when grabbing objects ? Because there's some difference between feeling objects and holding objects. And Brian Farmer is right, what about movement ??
I think with the gloves you're supposed to hold a toy/prop gun, not air.
I actually looking forward for VR in office use cases. Current options for office still limited. But honestly I love dive inside an immersed world, as it separates my home from my workspace through virtual space.
"ready player one is considered the bible of the metaverse" is a pretty scary sentence for those who have actually read the book lmao
imagine hl alyx with this
Insane
The omni treadmill looks like a replica of the one used in Ready Player One because that movie actually just uses an omni treadmill from that company as the movie prop
I.... Can't.... WAIT!!!
Omnidirectional Pads and Omnidirectional Treadmills are Two Separate things entirely. Especially given the treadmill does exists and works. The pads require specific slippers and most do not support jumping at all.
I'm scared to know what people will do with this amount of power.
I can't wait until oculus makes a full-body wireless suit with that full touch thing that everyone can buy if they want
The ps5 controller has the surprising ability to convey texture and surfaces. I can’t imagine this concept being blown up to this level.
Wow it can do that? With just a motor in it , the gloves are different but hopefully can do the same thing
@@FXV56 Exagerating, I own the ps5 and yes is great and amazing but not realistic at all just cool and very fun
This will take at least another 20 years in order to be truly great.
More like 7 - 10 years. Technology is advancing at such a rapid pace now. 20 years we’ll be seeing things we can’t even comprehend now.
For VR porn you would only want to wear one glove. 😉
You need another special glove for that.

This video makes me want to get rid of my devices and get out in the real world... If this was just a huge game i would love it but the fact that it takes over the real life and work is scary Just imagine when this really takes off. You decide to go to the park to enjoy the beautiful weather and play with your dog but you quickly realise that you’re all alone because everyone decided to be in the Metaverse. The Metaverse is a very flawed idea in the way that it looks promising and downright interesting on the surface, but extremely horrifying and disfuncional when you look at what consequences it may have on societies. This so called "social interaction" will only diminish actual social interaction up to a point where nothing will be as genuine as living life the way it was meant to be lived. Imagine wanting to be alone and hanging out in a meta world instead of going somewhere in real life... imagine how depressing it would be to celebrate your birthday with VR with a virtual cake and friends and then you take off your VR headset and realise you're actually all alone This is 8 minutes of motivation to get back to building real life human interactions and connections with the people around us, and getting the heck off the internet, Considering it's now impossible to have a conversation with somebody without then pulling out their phone I feel like this is going to be a huge issue. The fact that so much money and resources would have been spent on this... Tell's me that they already know it will be economically viable. In other words, they know this will be extremely addictive. Technology is severely limiting our character as human beings. To a great extent, we no longer have to have to have patience, hard labor, physically socializing, be self-sufficient, learning the hard way, etc. It seriosuly takes away from any human effort or desire to test ourselves and endure hardships with many things we would otherwise learn greatly from. A seriously over-looked phenomenon that will bring us to our grave. Thankfully, judging by the completely negative responses this concept has received so far, people seem to be on the right page, and that's good to know.
I agree with you with all that you said but people on the right page? Is the one thing I disagree with. This is the future unfortunately and technology wise, it's just going to get more immersive and the VR keeps selling, the need for these gloves becomes more. So I do see the world becoming in a way were, we live and work in the house and when we want to have a break or a walk we use VR.
I think that the meta verse is still at the stage where we used to play snake on a flip phone. in 20 years, it will be incredible...
Im hugely into VR. I have been since 2012, "metaverse" is overhyped. I promise it isn't gonna be what you think it is. I can tell a lot of you haven't used VR. yes, it does make you feel in another world to begin with but everyone acts like it's a replacement for our lives. all these "metaverses" with "real estate" is so niche and all hypehype it will never have no real value. No one is going to pay for this space with real money unless it's hype beast like all the NFt and Crypto boys. Metaverse already exist like Roblox for example. Vr should be about endless opurtunity to experince things not waste your money to advertise i promise you, it will not work that way. I can guarantee we are far from a meteverse
Yup. And Zuckerberg just wants another way to farm your soul. Fuck that, hard pass.
agreed. Most of it will be shit shilling ads to people. but the concept of a 'metaverse' goes way back.,probably before second-life.
Hope it works well for fps games cause onward with an air soft gun would be amazing and stuff like that
the dystopia is coming
if this becomes real i just want to hug my online friend
feel anything 😳
😏
What sites are gonna support it tho?🙃
I honestly wouldn't even mind if we don't get any haptic accessories yet. I would just really like to see some affordable VR gloves, that tracks even better than the controllers, like an enhanced version of oculus hand tracking.
Vive has finger tracking which is amazing then there is full body tracking
idgaf about my "security" that everyone already knows, just as long as I get something out of it.
Will be interesting to see whoever can tackle the challenge of simulating resistance. Like if I pick up a rock, these gloves might be able to make me feel like I'm holding a rock, but if I really wanted to, I could keep squeezing until I clip through its surface and immersion is still broken. Simulating resistance, or I guess in game terms "collision" is in my opinion, the real challenge to VR.
I'd imagine it's impossible to do this with gloves. the only way i'd think this possible is to make your brain think there is actually a rock there and not allowing your hand to clench past the rock. or if the gloves used some kind of opposing force that wont let your fingers get a certain distance away from each other
@@DripChip_ I really would not be surprised if in 50 years people are putting chips in their brain to do exactly that
Nice products I'm looking forward to buy from ANY OTHER COMPANY than Facebook/Meta.
I need these gloves just for that little extra bit of a power trip in blade and sorcery
I wonder how long it would take for actual gloves fully compatible with any game also with touch base feeling
i dont if i have to wear a suit to experience how it feels to be IN THE GAME .This is just bonkers!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!
Imagine playing spider-man games with these gloves and climbing a building
imma be honest...i just want to have a world in meta to where i can fire a kamehameha at frieza
*we getting closer and closer to “ready player one” …. I’M READY*
Can’t wait for someone to make the knife game in VR
That haptic glove is sick. The only problem is detecting what to fire and what your holding… I seen many company’s do this(because their lazy or they are a factor) but they normally skip the realistic part and just fire all the pins at once if you just clutch your fist. It may be reliant on the games developers…
From a total idiot when it comes to technology from a production and development point this seems only a decade or less away. Seeing what they have now feels like other early technologies that were developed. I'm looking forward to this technology being available and affordable in the very near future!!
The Future beginns❤️🙏🏽
The bright side is that they'll implement this into gaming
the funny thing is the oculus quest 2 has a experimental feature where u can just use your hands called "hand tracking"
I look at the body suit, and all I can think of is that "Animotion" company from that episode of the Simpsons, where he kept the suit on in the bathroom. lol
