I made Ready Player One in REAL LIFE! - THE ULTIMATE VR SETUP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Today we dive into a video that has been on my mind and in the words for a LONG time. For the first time I put together all of the world's craziest VR hardware that anyone can purchase and recreated the setup found in Ready Player One's books/ movie.
Super high resolution VR Headset: Varjo XR3
Omnidirection Treadmill: Katwalk C
Bhaptics Full body haptics
VRFree Gloves ( stopped working really early on)
Celia Scent module
Full Body Tracking vs TundraTrackers
And more-
All I have to say is.. I don't think we're quite ready for this.

(Pin This) He wears a mask to hide his face. It has nothing to do with the pandemic.
we know
fr just take off the mask
@@epixwabbitz7980 i dont think he wants to and if so i think we should respect that decision
Frigging conservatives be freaking out about this
Side note: anyone who's tried even moderate intensity exercise wearing a mask knows Thrill must have the VO2 capacity of a steel forge, hot air balloon, and blue whale combined.
i hope this becomes a yearly series with slowly upgrading each piece of tech to show how far we are coming.
yeaaaaaah! 'Player 1: Read?' day
Yes! Until the day we can all jump into the oasis together haha
That could incentivize companies to accommodate the venture as a means of marketing their own hardware.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Oh hell yea! I can't wait for VR to become what he was aiming for here, and this is surely the best gauge. Just try to put it all together and see how well it works... I kinda get that feeling he described, when he started running, and i can't wait for VR to try out for myself, not to mention along with my friends!
It’s crazy to think if companies really put everything into vr we could have the oasis. If you yourself can do it imagine what a large team could accomplish.
the problem is making it affordable for everyone and make the technology small so people have space to put in their homes. We could probably make an extremely realistic vr game like the oasis but it would be a waste of time because they’d probably have to make some sort of huge and expensive setup which would be hard to sell and make profit.
@@kami_dred7319 I like to think that we'll be pretty close to the Oasis in 25 years. But if Meta is still running the show it'll be like what the actual bad guys of Ready Player One wanted to turn the Oasis into
@@StupidNSimplesns 25 years is a bit much. I would say like 15 years
@markjvp In other words, a better vrchat lol
@markjvp like, i highly doubt there can be much of a hub for vr as a whole, BUT realistically speaking you might see platforms such as steam or epic (if they get heavily into vr) build out there platform homes such as steamvr home, to be something more akin to a hub, and make them into a much more desirable thing that people want to use. Like it kinda seems to me like that could be a really good marketing tool for getting people onto your vr platform.
Man that's cool, so basically you're saying the biggest issue is lack of content and device compatibility with haptics and other accessories. Either way, seeing how much the big companies are getting into vr, ar and mixed, it seems those problems won't be around much longer if the companies actually want to expand vr
Well running apparently feels more like slipping in style.
We are so close
How much all those costs?
Dude I am so happy that I will still be young when this shit fixes itself, I love ready player one but I hated the idea of being in my 40s when it finally comes to fruition.
@@mikulina7985 dude. what's wrong with being in your 40s when we finally have it?
to be truly honest, ThrillSeeker goes through all of the problems and pain and thousands of dollars worth of bills to show us this, to prove something, and does a great job at that. Not just doing it but also presenting it towards us, and I think needs more credit for this. unbelievably good job ThrillSeeker, we cannot thank you more.
Love how passionnante he is
And he doesn't just lie and say it's all great to get sponsored by these companies (which I'd bet my life he could have had this video sponsored by every company who's tech he bought and used, probably even never had to buy it but got it for free just to give a one sided good review) but he actually gives you an honest answer to whether this is all worth the time money and effort at this point and what to realistically expect if you're going to follow his lead regardless of what his recommendations are!
@@boocolo1046 yeah. I guess
8:14
Man that’s deep. It’s absolutely true that this may be too much for people to handle. Even In Ready Player One, nobody wanted to leave their houses because virtual reality is everything everybody wanted.
Yeah as it can clearly be seen in today's Society that technology is advancing far faster than we can freaking evolve because that's just the effect technology seems to have on itself while we obviously just don't have the capacity to evolve that quick and the effects of this are a great immaturity with the technology that we have
honestly i agree, no one is ready for this and if this gets to a lot of people, a lot of people wouldn't really go outside tbh.
its like infinite tsukuyomi to be honest
The movie 'the congress' is exactly about that. People will not be able to cope
Thrill, I just want to add up one thing.
You said "It failed as a proof of concept". But worked brilliantly as exactly that - proof of concept. You assembled everything together and it worked to the level you were trying to achieve. It doesn't matter at all if the software was not working together, it doesn't matter if some hardware parts were falling off during it - you were trying to prove that this is possible, this can be done with some time and dedication, maybe even to an easy to set up and use extend. All the "ifs" are out of the question when you just try to show "this is possible". And your results are astonishing
If history has taught us something, is that if something can be done with technology even if it's very poorly, then it will be guaranteed it will get way better in the future.
@@martiddy but now we need to ask ourselves a big question… should we do this? Should we potentially make something so real, so immersive, that we loose ourselves in a fake world?
@@StarCat76 I guess it depends on how immersive the technology is, if is something like Sword Art Online where a brain computer interface is sending information to your brain, then it could be 100% immersive. And there are gonna be a lot of security protocols for that kind of technology for sure, but just like with any kind of technology that has existed, people will always find a way to use it for bad purposes. Though, I don't think we are close to have the Nerve Gear, at least not until the next 40 years or more. I would say we are more close to Ready Player One instead.
@@StarCat76 Absolutely. Because instead of just looking at the negative outcomes and saying "No we shouldn't" you should also weigh in with Positive outcomes and take a reasonable grain of salt and see why we should.
@@StarCat76 the logical end of technology is just that. And no matter what moral question you ask it is going to happen eventually if humanity lives long enough.
Dude you’re literally prototyping the future of the vr experience. Pushing the boundaries and recording the results. You’re applying the scientific method to vr. A VR Researcher.
Don’t ever stop
Imagine years ahead he'll be someone that has to be studied about for an exam on VR and the first baby steps of vr in the world,in VR history 101 in colleges or highschools in the far future.
we need branches of science and engineering dedicated to vr and ar experiences, I would love to go to college for vr development and engineering tbh
@hopkidokid lol, that'd be funny and interesting. But I'm sure Thrill isn't the only one who has done this. I think it's possible that there might also be a few others who've tried it. But Thrill is the only one I know of.
Thrillseeker: pioneer of the virtual future. Mega props to actually giving this a go just to see how far we can currently get.
Fantastic video. I kind of hope this is one of those things where we look back at this video and go "wow look how rough things used to be".
VR already has come a long way since my original janky controllerless Devkit 2 that I had to directly load games into before wearing.
More than anything I hope we see a renaissance in VR content though. I think the tech is a matter of time if there's stuff to engage with in the hardware.
Yeah, this is actually amazing, like imagine being in battle talent or something, you would be feeling every single slice, the strain of swinging a sword, the grip, and it would be very cool!
And he *still* uploads in 24-30fps
Thank for all the hard work in putting this video together. So exciting to see what the future could potentially hold
Even though it had its hangups, the fact that it all cohesively worked for even just a few minutes is a huge success in my opinion. You took baby steps so others may walk or even run in the future with this tech! Great work! 👍
This is absolutely insane and if legitimate companies see this I sincerely hope they just start massively collabing/competing on VR compatibility standards.
legitimate companies will work on open standards. then Apple will come along 3 years later and shit all over them. and for some reason, Apple will win.
The disgusting part is the company investing the most into making a world that just works cohesively is Meta...and their idea of what a virtual world is like...yeah it's ugly.
would be super damn awesome just to have one bit of software for all of vr. Like currently just with few stuff I need to run:
-steamvr
-vive console
-vive wireless
-bhaptics
-fpsvr
for my vr to work, and good god 1 is enough because the software always causes issues. I couldnt imagine needing to run more
On the other hand just running steamvr would be awesome
@@cate01a we already have that in openxr.. but games have to be written to use it, rather than proprietary APIs from Valve and Oculus . Some games use openxr already, like Population One for example
Oh yes they definitely are watching. There's some people's jobs do nothing but that. If this to happen it's all about the legalities
Yep, we need VR protocols. Just like the internet.
OpenXR will be/is a life saver
It would be cool if Unreal Engine and Unity starts making standards for VR games.
pay the money and it's possible
That's what I think the real metaverse will be. Not a walled garden owned by one company, but as a set of standards to easily move between different virtual spaces.
Web3 is in it early of the progress
I absolutely love what you're doing for VR industry! You give a 100% unbiased reviews past, present and, future of VR gaming. Why, you don't have at least a million subscribers is beyond me!
Keep up the good work! It's an awesome channel! 🤘
Extreme hardcore gamers are going to go from extremely unhealthy sitting all day and eating ramen to ungodly fit sprinting all day and eating ramen, I can see a criminal stealing a ladies handbag and a block down the road a man of ramen spots what's going on with his ultra fast and hyper aware reflexes, instantly reacting turning 90 degrees toward the thief and going from 0 to 30 mph within a matter of seconds, the born and bred thief who has made a career out of running away with stolen goods is no match for mr.ramens speed, as he is closing in and the thief realises he is in pursuit his stamina is beginning to deplete and his body is becoming more like a sack of potatoes meanwhile, meanwhile mr.ramen is smoothing gliding near to his top speed with ease and as light as a feather, he knows the criminal has no chance even by the powers of god to escape, the theif has been apprehended and mr.ramen sprints back to the woman and gives it back, she's so grateful and thanks him, he replies It is is simply my sworn duty as ramen man... m'lady! he swoops off to continue on for more side quests

Holy moly that was a dope video
My other favorite VR Channel! 😁
wow i haven't been to a thrill video so early, ive wanted to see a video like this for months but NO ONE actually had a setup of this level.
I have a setup like this. He's got more patience than I. I've used it like 3 times. It's too much of a hassle. So I just use the XTAL 8K at my simulator for MS flight simulator. Also, I don't trust ThrillSeeker. He tends to be on the hyperbolic end of the spectrum.
Same
Lol same
Same
Yeah I’ve been hoping I wouldn’t have to make a Twitter to request Thrill make a video like this haha
I hope to one day get a setup like this and run outer wilds like this. That would be incredible
I am really enjoying seeing The progression of VR through your videos, It makes me hopeful that the world can take VR and use it for good.
I'm not even a minute in and this already looks fucking AMAZING
yeah
It’s crazy cool. But why he wearing a mask???
@@Gilgamesh54 he always does! It's just who he is!
@@Gilgamesh54 he always does, he doesn't want to reveal his face
Yeah this video was really cool
Next step in the setup: 10°C air conditioning.
Can't wait until all of these accessories start having haptics.
can someone convert to normal people units?
@D33P cold air

For those that must know, it's 6 2/3°C
one of my weird life goals is to learn how and build a residential a/c unit that can quickly achieve that feat.
I call this a success, why?
- Took several pieces of hardware that were made by several companies without thinking about one another working together.
- Modded and added programs and probably more to get things working with the hardware.
- You even took glitches and bugs and found a quick fix and work around.
- Got everything working even for a short time being close to Ready Player One without the full prepared and ready for games, out of the box tech.
You're one of the first or maybe only to experience the closeness of Ready Player One.
Have fallen in love with vr the past couple year so cool to see how far it has come. can’t wait to see what the future brings
It’s time to revist this video now bro, let’s see if anything has got better
100%
7:33 I think this is a perfectly plausible reaction considering how Avatar starts. Jake is put into the body of the Na’vi, acknowledges his existence in it for a moment, and sprints out the door. Stops to smell the air, dig his toes into the ground, pure bliss. Granted he was excited to have working legs again but. Close enough
You remember what happened in Avatar?
As a double leg amputee I would do the same thing lol!
If you've read the book, you'll know there's one pretty memorable (and arguably extremely important) item left out of this setup . . .
EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm talking about a robotic sex doll that plugs into the system.
LOL, yeah the book was a lot more in depth showing off how the tech of their time scales
it will exist someday. i cant tell if im dreading it or welcoming it.
also what the fuck was the movie its like they skimmed the back cover and made the movie from there
@@ThrillSeekerVR so that's not a no regarding the sex doll being part of the second attempt at this. You did say in this video that you're working on a second attempt with some extra stuff ;)
@@pezantvr5871 teledildonics says "hi"
@@coocato someday? Look up The Handy ;)
This is one of the greatest videos I've seen in a long time. You've outdone yourself here Thrill. Absolutely stellar.
Thank you! Worked really hard on this one
This is fascinating! Thank you for doing this video and experiment! I did an interview with a local VR gaming arcade and they showed me their most immersive setup and it was pretty amazing but I could see we're still a ways from total immersion but not TOO far away. From a guy that was present and played the commodore and Atari and dreamed of a real Holodeck this is all just....WOW
I can't imagine a way it won't always be awkward to make some transitions in vr. Like, imagine going from running to driving, you'll basically have to get unstrapped, remove your headset and climb into your driving rig.
Imagine the technology by time 2030 comes around. Ready Player One might be right around the corner from then
Both the dystopic hell scape and the affordable vr tech
bro 8 years from now the whole worlds gonna be different
It's terrifying that you're correct. For centuries it took decades for the world to change as much as it does in one these days
We're jumping to Sword Art online instead now
Full Dive is really close to being achievable with Neurolink and new Vr technology
I’ve been waiting for this video from you for so long now. Once software support actually works together in just a few more years this will be a giant shift.
Have to say that, Thrill, you are great in story telling. I've gotten emotional watching a guy play games in VR.
INSANE! You are probably the only person in the world to get it all hacked together and experience this :O
Your feedback and reactions are immense.
--- I joined you on patreon just for this video! :)
(ironically enough, i haven't even had my VR setup operational for the past ~2 years, only have OG rift)
This seems really awesome! I hope our technology advances to a point where we can be in alternate virtual wolds as realistic as the real one as an average consumer! The only thing I'm afraid of is that once people are in they might not care as much to improve our actual reality. We should look to always be improving but having all your senses controlled through one System could be very dangerous and addictive really fast if there aren't posed any restriction on the technology.
Thrill: I made a ready player one setup.
Also Thrill: Did I just kickstart the end of society? And do I care?
Or the creation of a new one….if you really think about it.
@@-A-cI’m down for the new society
Way back in the day when computers were fresh and new you had the same exact problem. No product worked on other systems. The IT conglomerate created a VERY good solution: The OSI model. A framework or physical device communication with seven layers.
The problem here is very similar. We need a VR OSI Model.
I would recommend.... using the OSI model! LOL
The transport (4) and session (5) layers seem the most important to get the devices talking with each other, and then the presentation layer (6) would need an industry agreed upon common set of interactions that the application layer can call, and presentation does the translation from common calls to hardware specific functions.
Looks like I found the network engineers!😊
Needs a fresh name though.
How about...
Oasis
Systems
Integration
?🤔
@@Jadebones i see you are a man of culture as well
And this (hopefully) is what META is doing
This was Beautiful, I get more excited everyday for the future of VR. I'm so freaking happy to be a part of it, and to bring others into it.
This came up in my reccomended and I had to watch it
I love Thrills videos and this one was amazing.
I am so excited for the future of VR and I hope attempt 2 works better!
I am also intrested, How does the smell hardware actually work?
Thrill, you're a true pioneer! Thanks for sharing with us your inspiring work!
Just imagine in 4 - 5 years when this is the norm! It's going to be incredible to see how this complete immersive technology will begin to shift societies understanding of reality.

Thrill please stop! I've already had to make a video about you. And you responded in some way. Please understand your influence on shaping the future dystopia! Focus on something else or spreading awareness of how a vr future dystopia will not be a net positive but a negative! It's so clear to see. Just look at how most corporations function already! Vr will not be a free and open source software that we can all use. And vr should not be a way to experience life but a little fun hobby like gaming now and then! Stop This!
Amen brother happy to see you here
I have to agree on some things you say .. I think are future will not be a good one if we all get involved in living a virtual life. and also it's funny to see you here? Why are you watching thrill if you don't like it
I’m testing the boundaries. I also told people not to buy this and I was obviously mixed on my thoughts: ex my thought that people won’t want to go outside and that people aren’t ready for this.
I didn’t say it was the best thing in the world, this was eerie and scary. Something I feel I showed plenty of.
@@ThrillSeekerVR ye I know man. I like you as a content creator but I feel your content is more ( VR is a good thing for humanity and society ) + not looking at the negatives. You just kinda shrug them off as you clearly like the tech. And as a big channel you have a responsibility to find studies on just how bad social media is alone and virtual living... Vr is the next step of that! VR is a very new technology.. and when the young generation is conditioned to think this is a normal way of engaging with the world. It's already too late... Not to mention the sinister corporate agenda that will no doubt push vr and AR into the mainstream. - I'm open to have you on a podcast on my channel to talk about these issues. As on my video you just kinda blew me off. As I get bigger I will not stop and will fight this dehumanization! I will not live my life based on algorithms and a technocracy!!!
Ye man just look at meta ..
This is fascinating! I’m looking forward to the next step in your experiment. Keep up the amazing work! Not only do you talk about the tech but I love the philosophical approach you bring to the content.
I love VR, although I get motion sickness quite easy. The hardware is amazing, but the software is so lagging behind. I really hope developers start making amazing VR games soon, because we just have a handfull of great games. And if there is nothing to do in VR, it does not matter how good your gear is.
Wow, ThrillSeeker is KING of VR content. Stoked for version 2! Your setup is extremely impressive given what you talked about with the state of the industry.
Imagine what it was like 5 years ago.
Imagine what it'll be like 5 years from now.
Yeeeeep, exactly
This video is SO good
It’s unbelievable how far technology has gone.
I feel like if you had some dedicated game engine for VR that natively supported the various devices that would handle the issue of compatibility well.
Issue is of course making a game engine that actually does that in a seem less robust and modular way.
It’s honestly a bit like self driving cars. It we made the road with self driving cars in mind (and no human driven vehicles) we could simplify their design by an impressive margin. It’s through the need to interact with 1000+ things that these sort of things become needlessly complicated and end up falling apart conceptually.
This is so cool this needs to happen but like i had another idea to add into it, ready player one doesn't do this but i feel like it would be more realistic, i think the ground that you walk on should be able to lower or rise like your walking up stairs or walking down stairs or a mountain.
I feel that the only way to reach 100% immersion in a virtual world would have to be a device that would be able to stimulate any sense the brain could receive directly in it, as well as having to take control of the actual nervous system of the body so that you could (theoretically) be in a dream like state where you could be completely immersed in a world and even forget reality exists.
What I described is just the Nervegear, if this type of technology existed in todays world the only outcome that would come out of it is humanity itself never wanting to leave the virtual world and leading to its extinction.
Or the people with the most power in the world would create a dystopia where everyone else on the planet would be their slaves or paid workers, in which, the people with power would just spend nearly their whole lives in a virtual world and keep doing that for all future generations until inevitable extinction of humanity comes.
Obviously this is theoretical but it seems very possible if this scenario happened imo.
The first paragraph is essentially the entire plot of Ready Player Two.
Read on optogenetics
We already hava tiny robots 10micron.
Whats left is reducting size to 2microns and making it autonomous, uses ultrasound to simulate the brain
And runs on biofuel. It can be injected or drank
I was just talking about this last night and see this video and comment today 💀
> if this type of technology existed in todays world the only outcome that would come out of it is humanity itself never wanting to leave the virtual world and leading to its extinction.
???
Do people not already want to never leave the virtual world? This does not lead to extinction, though, because people still need to eat and make money to afford shelter and hardware upgrades and such. More immersive VR does not solve the fundamental problem of needing to go back to the physical world to maintain oneself.
You always suprise me with you’re videos
I'm moderately adventurous and have spent alot of time outdoors exploring. I also live in South Africa with it's amazing topographical- and biodiversity. I also love VR... it will have to go a very long way before I'll view it as more than a neet distraction or a medium for experimenting. The weirdest thing however, is that even though I'm a very outgoing person IRL I find it next to impossible to speak in somethings like VRchat!
Why do you think that is? Just curious since I'm the opposite side of the spectrum. I'm pretty introverted and get stressed out talking to new people sometimes, so I'm hoping when I get a VR headset I'll be able to talk to people better in VRChat since they're strangers on the Internet I don't have to ever see again if I wanted, so less is at stake.
If you are Afrikaans it may be that you simply feel a little out of place amongst international folks. Your age also may have something to do with it. I'm getting older and I think I no longer have the energy to interact with the wide range of ages you get in apps like VRChat. I tend to stick to single player games in VR and I'm sure I'm missing out but perhaps the right app/game may just have to come along to pull me into multiplayer interaction.
I think it’d be a lot easier without the mask on lol but yeah insane setup mate, making me rethink my idea to buy a sort of similar setup hahaha keep it up!
My daily VR setup;
Man this is a dream come true! Amazing stuff!
A note of the Friction: In ready player one, most users don't actually wear all of that gear. The basic oasis set is just gloves and a headset. What wade puts on is equivalent to the setup you donned, the highest tech, most immersive setup money can buy. He puts on all of that gear to become fully immersed, but the whole concept of VR goes big with the release of the Oasis, the platform that unites the hardware.
So you're basically spot on with what needs to happen. Great video Thrill!
This right here, when I talk about VR to non-VR players, they always come back to "ill play it when its like ready player one". I'm like... it's already there... They don't realize that not everyone had a full body tracker....
@@doperegistry8504 Exactly, and not everybody wanted one either. Some people want to just casually play some games, other people want to immerse their entire reality into the Oasis. The former you can do right now, but the later is still in the works
This is some real hype. Cant wait to see what the future brings.
Dude! Thank you so much for putting this together!
I know it's taking along time money and effort but it's crazy to think your man bringing VR to the mass's well done!
I really hope dev's on all level's see your opinion and forward such limits and push what it is you have found. Peace
this is the future of gaming. the people ARE ready. the gimmicky aspect of it is what pushes people away from VR. when it’s at this level for the standard of VR, we’ll have that oasis I’m sure. what an exciting video & proof it can be done. the future is gonna be crazy, and you’re a pioneer ThrillSeeker. wow.
Thank you for all the work and effort.
Thank you for watching!!!!
I feel that, even if you partially failed the attempt, this video is going to add momentum and awareness to VR. It shows what we need to achieve the VR experience.
Here is to bringing the VR future closer
I've been thinking about whether this type of thing would work with our current software for a while and it is amazing to see you turn my thoughts into reality. Although, I think people will stay inside anyways in Florida at least with how hot it is.😵
I feel like for the VR "laws of physics" as you mentioned, we could have an application/medium that developers can use to develop and publish games on, sorta like what Roblox and other platforms do. That way, the initial app that you start up could control all the games to a degree where everything feels consistent. I may have a new project on my hands...
Dude crazy idea, why don't you start developing, you have an amazing reach with your community, I'm sure there is a lot of people here that have expertise in a lot of different elements of what we need to build it, what's the worst that can happen 🙏
I'm more curious about the scent module, and how it actually works. is there a way we could get an in-depth video covering that?
It just has preloaded scent cartridges and little fans. You get a few scents and that's it. It isn't able to paint scents using primary smells to create thousands of different experiences or anything of that nature.
@@Thezuule1 i have thought about that many times. that would be a dream come true
Consider using more of your b-roll, and filming some interviews, and footage of you directly addressing the camera, and making this a short documentary (eg. 30mis - 40mins).
It's good content, and will rack up millions of views.
Always the best VR user on RUclips, hope you keep growing as a content creator!
Crazy man, thank you for putting all of this together. Incredible dedication to satisfy our curiosity. You are a true pioneer of the VR.
Everyone reviewing the Apple Vision Pro, meanwhile you've been ahead of them all.
Yeah they’re all acting like it’s a new concept for some reason.
Wow. I hope that a lot of the “thinkers” that do experimental ideas for big players like Valve and Meta watch this video and take notes…
Thanks very much for making this video Thrill!
Congrats on your grand experiment glad you got as far as you did. Hopefully in the coming years companies can come up with an all in one package solution that developers can get behind. Unfortunately the price point would probably have to be less than a grand for consumers to get behind it.
I think open source is the true way
Wasn't such an awesome setup rather expensive in Ready Player One (the book) too? So even if remaining expensive, it would not be all that different from the book. And it doesn't necessarily need _everyone_ to get behind it, but enough people that developers support it would be helpful. Could also work by hardware lasting a long time so consumers can build up a nice setup over a long time period.
I'm calling it now, this is going to be a top 10 video on the channel
Hope so :D
hands down one of the best channels about vr on youtube , thanks for the videos and all the effort you put here and on helping building the vr community
Let's not forget that Facebook lost 60 billion over VR, so they Quest has been set.back big time,.the quality has dropped and the game play is not.as beautiful like it was in 2021 VR is a decade away from been where you wanted to be like Ready Players One but, let's just. Enjoy what we have for now VR is still crazy to those who played a Nintendo 64 SEGA mega drive PlayStation 1 or old PC"s my grandma and parents find the Oculus Quest unbelievable.
This was so well done and so emotionally edited. Thanks dude
The idea of the electronic suit was banging in my head for like 2 years, your video inspired me to finally take on a project and do some initial prototypes and research. I doubt I'll sell it because of all the red tape that comes with electro-stimulating devices. It would be open source kit probably. I have an experience with designing, testing and making electronics, if one is reading this and has experience in mechanics, electronics, biology, software, etc. consider replaying to this comment please. I'm open to collaboration on this project because that way it will happen faster cause I obviously can't work on this full time. I'm not a native speaker btw. but I think it won't be an issue.
Really profound.
You and the video...profound. Next level. You deserve a million views on this.
Thanks you!!!!!!!!
Hopefully- we’ll see :) RUclips is a very weird platform
This is why I love thrillseeker, his ability to use not just his words but his whole body language, perfect videoes+pictures and voice to describe how things felt and was for that moment. This makes us as viewers really understand a whole lot better what he is doing/feeling and kind of makes us feel the same things. (atleast for me)
as someone who can barely walk anymore, cant leave his house for longer than an hour, cant stand longer than a few minutes and is in CONSTANT pain just being awake; i NEED real VR. i struggle with suicide for obvious reasons, life just isnt life anymore. if i could walk again without feeling pain i think i would cry for days
NeosVR has been the closest program I've had to get all the support for my current hardware on one app. Even then, it really depends if the creators of the current world you are in bothered to add the haptics correctly, or even had the ability to test them. Standardization for VR haptic devices is really a must going forward.
The issue is that you're looking at 1% adoption inside of what is already a niche market. There's just no real incentive to do it. Vest makers release an API/SDK and it's up to software developers to adopt it if they choose, which most don't because it isn't even worth the effort to code support in most cases.
Man, I am excitedly waiting for larger companies to invest heavily into VR. The amount of things that are available right now is great and I would like to see the expansion of the industry. As an example, I would love to get an owo vest but there is so little it is currently compatible with. Money is also a factor, but that is just an eventuality.
Ur really the only one who could do it and u Did it congrats. How long do u think Player One experience will take to reach the broad audience? can we expect 5 years with all the support and the hype of metaverse?
Probably in 5 years it will exist and be more seemless, but still very expensive. So probably not for 10 years when a large chunk of users have it
The experience from the movie won't exist for decades. There is no Oasis and you couldn't build that in 5 years with every developer from every game company working on it together. The hardware is nowhere near where it needs to be, the software doesn't exist, and we're likely looking at decades before it does.
I feel like eventually haptic suits and/ or gloves will eventually become much more affordable since lots of consumers want them. You know… supply and demand.
I haven't even experienced a VR headset IN MY ENTIRE LIFE, I just can't afford even the cheapest one, but I've been here watching and expecting, crying with your videos for something I can't even experience myself... but this is another level, I am mesmerized, I just... wow.
Gave me chills man. Let's see where we all end up in 20 years.
VR is one of those things you can't stop thinking about how it will evolve and turn out as the future unfolds
Awesome video! Real fun idea and great execution! We can't wait for more AAA game devs to dive into VR!
Well for ur question whether we r ready or not....nope...im not only cause im broke to even buy a computer...HECK i barely had enough to make a driving license here in Malaysia 🤦♂️
I'd be curious to see a cost breakdown of all the things listed just as curiosity. It's like..5 things right? The headset, bhaptics, cillia, full-body tracking, and the treadmill? Loved this video though. It was pretty amazing to hear you describe everything. Bugs and all.
You’re a pioneer sir! Don’t stop giving us hope & inspiration!
Top stuff! I love the idea of VR more than the reality currently. My most immersive experiences have been with traditional gaming controllers, because they offer more consistency than hand movement controllers which often break the immersion due to poor tracking. When it works well its incredible, but often it can be completely exhausting and often nausea inducing. I will watch your Ready Player One project progress with interest!!
imagine playing echo arena but u actually grab the disc withyour hand and feel like you're flying. even tho ppl say its impossible. they said the same about airpods
Very cool! I would kinda imagine that the headset controllers and than the treadmill get you most of the way there. I think smell and force feedback on you chassis are not necesarilly what people will be going for? I mean, Im ashamed to admit it, but I just started VR and HLA is almost to creepy to deal with sometimes.
Anyways I wondered how good the support for the treadmill is.
Super cool of you to push the envelope and see where the rough parts are. Now we need to add some oil to the cogs in the upcoming years as the industry and it'll be pretty awesome. Kudos!
Almost all the friction is removed if you consider a full suit with tracking, haptics, gloves and boots built in - that will be a good direction, then you will have multiple vendors of suits competing in the space. Standards here could ensure compatibility. Barring that, an API broker style middle-ware layer would be the only thing that made sense. Cool stuff
For me. All I would need is that treadmill and arm and leg tracking.I have a thing called phantom sense. I can smell things. Feel things. Feel heat. And even pain. It suck’s sometimes but when your in let’s say. Star Wars games. It feels so real. Blade and sorcery. I can feel the weapons in my hands. I can feel everything. Even when I’m in space. I can barely breath. Still able to breath. Just not a lot. It’s a nice trait to have.
If you have any questions for me and how to get such things. I definitely could try and help improve your vr experience. And for the creator of this video. Your full body tracking will help a lot cause your arm and legs move when your real arms and legs are moving. Good luck in you vr journey.
If you take away all the narration you end up with a bunch of essential oil fans... random vibrations akin to a sex toy on your body... a really bizzare running platform that requires a harness so you dont fall over... .. no basic framework that all of the software is built upon among the various hardware manufacturers... basically a mish/mesh of 10k or more in gear that basically is good enough to produce a video on but so far from being consistent only a developer would deal with it and in that case only specific parts. The only way past all these problems is that common framework that they can all build upon aka some sort of industry standards or you have a gigantic mega corp with billions product the software and integrate it into all these different hardware components through specific deals.
A horde of the commenters don't seem to think all these problems are going to be solved in a matter of years when its likely more to be a multi-decade effort. Technology doesn't mean much when the software is trash with no open standards or a common framework. Without that if no very large player engages in huge amounts of spend I would see small incremental improvements much like the first sets of 3d gear in the past decade to now. The headset really hasn't improved beyond the resolution/refresh rates at all for example. They cant even show your actual control stick in VR by simply capturing it in realtime via a sensor then re-producing it in the VR world. It is entirely closed off in that sense. On top of all of this this entire area of production hasn't even seen a recession and most of the young people haven't seen entire industries/project totally collapse overnight because its all a bunch of hope/wishful thinking nonsense. We won't even know how durable the VR industry is until we see a recession and the last two obliterated huge amounts of IT based businesses that were absolute utter parasitic garbage.
I love playing VR high (dont do anything that isnt with in the law for your area) its like being able to dumb down the brain or turn up how it sees things. Like I can feel what my VR hands are touching and even what the body would feel leaning on a wall or what ever its almost made me fall a few times lol. I would love to know what it would be like with this whole set up and working 100% think might blow my mind XD.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this.
