I am gonna watch but if *orn isn't on this list I want a refund

Thank you so much for the information. I am 73 years old and this is my first Quest 3 VR. OMG! When I went to the store (browsing around) I put these on and immediately started talking out loud that this is amazing. I love the exercising, meditation (new to me) and boxing. Yep. I got the Brink Traveler but having difficulty navigating it hopefully it will start to make sense. I wish I could get more people my age to try this but in the between I am having so much fun. Pssst. I still work and sneaked out today to take a Zumba class. This was such a great experience. Anyway just wanted to say thank you so much. If there are new tips and tricks for the Quest 3 I hope you let us know. In the meantime this is a 73 year old lady enjoying VR.
63 YO grandma here;) Just got a Quest2 and I'm already loving it so much. I've been only looking for exercise and non-gaming Apps and ways to also get VR experiences with things I already do. This was all SO helpful! Thank you. I've used Google Tilt when I was teaching elementary and middle school. A also purchased a museum experience (created by the Tate Museum in London) and it was amazing for my classroom. Walking and interacting with Mondrian's studio was wonderful! My (Apple) school bought me a PC (whole other learning curve I had to muddle through alone) just so I could use VR with my kiddos (Vive at that time). The kids were so engaged when they had their turn using it. I retired at the start of Covid and now so happy I can keep learning and play around again with VR and without the expense of buying a gaming PC. Being untethered is game changer! After watching your video it looks like there is enough here to keep me busy learning and exploring, for awhile. I only wish I had other retired gal pals IRL that I could share my excitement with...so spilling over here. Apologies.
I love this comment. Thanks so much for sharing.
The travel looks so neat... but I didn't know you had to hook to PC for google vr.. that's a disappointment for me, as I only have a lap top, and not a gaming one at that....
Love this comment as well. Some perspective; my grandma owned 40 acres of bottomland (pecan groves) but lived in 2 room house, water was by hand pump and the shitter was out back aways.
That was about 60 years ago.
Don't underestimate the social interaction value provided by the multiplayer games. Getting the Walkabout Mini Golf, Golf +, Eleven table tennis, and First Person Tennis games have allowed me to interact regularly with friends ad family around the country that I would otherwise interact with once in a blue moon. It's turned out to be by far the best thing about VR for me.
You are my favorite human being
We use VR to design operating rooms for surgeons. The actual doctors will perform mock surgeries in VR and we use CAD to move things around how they want it so it’s optimized before actual construction begins.
I highly recommend Mondly VR for language learning. Beyond learning some basic words and phrases, you can also practice languages in actual mock conversation situations.
That's actually what I wanted to ask. I love learning languages. Is it really good?
I spent my 1st VR week watching 360 videos on youtube. VR is such a great thing.
I use Google Earth and RUclips 360 (there is another one but I forgot the name), and I do 360 city tours or some nature experience. The other day I did a tour with David Attenborough. It was incredible. This is more the direction I like to go in.
Google earth is dope. The 360 videos on the other hand just didn't do it for me. The 360 videos look like 240p quality even though its in like 8k or even higher. Once 360 videos become higher quality vr will without a doubt become even more awesome
I enjoyed the youtube channel airpano. Very cool 360 videos of national parks by drone
@@dovahkiin516 8k and 12k look fantastic on the rift s, anything lower does look pretty grainy for sure.
Thank you! I am new to VR and I am 64 years old! This helps so much
Using the browser and going to Matterport is also a lot of fun! 3D tours of homes, museums and other places.
The language apps like Mondely are an amazing way to learn or practice another language. You are in an environment interacting with other figures set up in real world situations. Way better than text based apps.
That's actually what I wanted to ask. I love learning languages. Is it really good?
so far i friggin love vr as a creative tool. doing motion capture and making 3d designs is so cool. really awesome
I logged in the other day after a few weeks absence and was delighted to see we have legs now!
Absolutely agree with your list! In addition, I would add: 1.) *LOST RECIPES* - the best description I can offer is that it is a "relaxing cooking experience." I was shocked at how enjoyable this was, puttering around in ancient kitchens learning ancient cooking techniques. It's really great, I promise! 2.) *PUZZLING PLACES* and/or *CUBISM* - relaxing tactical puzzles games with 3D pieces that float in the air around you. Cubism has the option for passthrough view. 3.) *DANCE CENTRAL* - even just the free sample is fun to dance on a real dance floor and learn some moves. 4.) a *RUclips VR EXPERIENCE* - like floating over Las Vegas is a crowd pleaser for newbies.
I would also suggest *MALOKA* as a great meditation and relaxation app. It gives you your own peaceful "mediation island" that you build out and design the more you mediate.
For anyone new to VR, you will be surprised by how much meeting in VR can feel like a more "real" or "natural" way to hang out than having a video call does. I have far-away family and hanging out with them for a round of golf in *WALKABOUT GOLF* or some bowling in *FOREVER BOWL* or watching something in *BIG SCREEN* actually feels like hanging out. It is 1000% better than sitting still in front of a zoom screen. It may not be intuitive if you haven't yet tried VR, but spatially it feels a lot more like we are "together" having a fun shared experience and joking around, than staring at each other awkwardly on screen does.
TIP: When we have people over who want to experience VR, we project what's happening in VR to our big screen TV. (Popular when using *GOLF 5 eClub* - to watch everyone's attempts at the driving range) Do a web search for easy instructions. In my case I need to connect to my laptop via the meta web link logon, initiate connection while wearing the headset. I then use the "project" function on my laptop to easily project to our smart TV. (But everyone's tech and connectivity will be different.)
I think a lot of people underestimate how much real experiences be replaced by virtual reality experiences.
I remember once an interview of an astronaut who walked on the moon that tried Apollo 11 VR and said it looks really good.
YES!
I have both the PCVR and Quest 2 versions, and the PCVR really looks a lot better and more realistic than the standalone Quest 2. The part where you can walk on the Moon is pretty amazing.
Oh yeah I love my VR I love my VR headset I love that I can go around the world in it but to be honest nothing beats the real world and it feels good that I have a way to connect to my friends that are thousands and Miles away on my Facebook app on there and my messenger app on there plus it feels really good that you can do a lot more than just games I mean could you imagine how boring that would be if the only thing you could do was games I mean I can literally watch a movie in a movie theater in my own apartment and all I got to do is pay a few extra bucks a month that is awesome
Wow. You really think a VR moon environment is anything close to replacing the actual experience of taking a rocket propelled space shuttle, landing on the moon, and being in 0G on the literal fn moon’s surface?
Look VR is amazing and even mind-blowing, but your comment is laughable my dude. Literally touch grass.
@@milk_bath It's not what I think. It's what an astronaut who actually went on the moon said when he tried Apollo 11 VR.

VR is the FUTURE 🙌
Thank you for this.ive never been a gamer but I see so much on TV about vr headsets I just bought the quest 3 for myself.cant wait to try all these things ❤️
An excellent video. A different kind of list then just the top 10 games. Really liked it.
Just ordered one today, can't wait!
did it live up to the hype or sitting in a corner collecting dust?
I'm so glad I came across this video. I just spent 2 hours in Mission ISS. It was amazing! Thanks for showing things available other than gaming. I can't wait to check out your other recommendations.
I tried playing that game but after 2 minutes I felt like I was gonna throw up and I don't usually get that ever from anything
Great vid! Thnx for all these suggestions. I love vr pottery. Its really satisfying and relaxing somehow🤣
Dude, thank you so much for this video.
Im gonna get most of these for my new headset im picking up in may. Im excited already.
Just bought the meta quest 2 your video helped me out alot especially on which apps I should get
Great vid. You answered a lot of questions I had about buying one. Thank you.
Wow didn't realise what is on the Quest 2 ,mine is arriving today ,i just wanted it for movies ,super excited for it to arrive ,thanks for doing this 😉
luv the info thankyou
I have both Wander and Google Earth VR. I like that Wander let's you explore places in the world you can't street view see in Google Earth VR.
Thank you. I’m not really into VR but am learning Spanish from Immerse. Powerful
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks for this wonderful video. You’re awesome.
Awesome video thanks for the info.
Good list. Thanks
Awesome! Thanks Pal
Poker VR is really fun for sure ;)
Thanks for the list Sam
Something new for those interested in continuing education, Morehouse College is starting a course in World History. Never before interested in gaming but this device is fantastic. Thanks for this video people like me non gamers need to hear about the other uses...
That’s very interesting, I’m gonna have to check it out, thanks for sharing.
I'd like to do a foreign language course with native speakers over seas. That would be splendid. :)
That was a great informative video, i thank you for all the information in this video. 5/5
Great video! Thx!
It requires a PC, but SpaceEngine. (Can also be run outside of VR on one's PC.) It lets you visit the worlds of our solar system and the universe. Hover over Saturn. Stand on a Jovian moon and look up to see how Jupiter would look from that vantage point. This would fall under an educational app. It does deliver a strong dose of awe if one enjoys astronomy.
RUclips has a nice selection of VR videos on various topics.
Thanks a lot. Currently putting together a follow up to this and I’m yet to try SpaceEngine. I’ll check it out.
Wonderful video!! I got a Quest 2 for Valentine's Day but am not into gaming. Now I don't have to worry that my set will go woefully underused! Thanks!!
Love this! Thanks for watching
I didnt know vr porn is so realistic now days. I did try back in 2016 and it was bad but now vr cam is very good so its so real
@@ji3200 You perv!! *kidding* looked really blurry to me :P I think you have to sign up for paid sites to get the "good stuff" and I don't trust those sites with my credit card as it has a high limit. lol
@@ji3200 what the hell
@@II_GzB_II go youtube it try what it feels like. "VR Bangers" youtube channel
Fishing is a great one !
Awesome info... thank you
Thanks for watching!
VR, can do it all!
Great, this video convinced me to buy a VR headset
Awesome! I found you! Subbed! Thank you for your content!
Very excellent information; thank you. It would be great if you provided links or some guidance as to where people can find the apps or websites you're referring to. Thanks again.
These are great! I love watching 360 documentaries on mine it makes them so much more intriguing.
I just recently got a quest 2 and airlink/steam together is AWESOME! Been playing HLA and OMG its just pure AMAZING! :D
Subscribed! Great video!
That Graffiti app looks insane
Great video!
Polarized eyewear is a minor distraction for most audiences, although it does reduce brightness. Stereo imaging in a theater projection setting is very difficult to "get right" due to the varying geometry required for different seating positions. Sit to far away, and you get "stretch". Too far left or right from center? Not good. Also, the range of interocular distances in the audience must be accommodated to prevent smaller interoculars from becoming excessively "wall-eyed". Even the screen size itself makes a variable to be considered. It ain't easy, and it's amazing it works as well as it does. VR eyewear has distinctive advantages that overcomes all of the above (except the need for special eyewear).
To Turbguy: Could not a regular computer monitor work the similar way if one pulled up his chair and neck while having his nose touching the screen?
Good point but in VR you would sit in the perfect spot. Everyone can. You wouldn't have to sit in the nose bleed balcony top left seat to watch a film. So unless the purpose of the app is to explore a theater rather than to watch a film, it shouldn't be much of an issue.
Nice!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for watching
I really enjoyed this video
Just watched the 3D version of World War Z. Amazing experience
I just got mine. Wow! I went to Meta Quest TV and viewed the aerial view of Angel Falls. I could not watch without sitting down. If you don't like heights it will get you. It is so nice.
I got me a vr bc I’m disabled and can’t really go outside do to my back and hips and ect so this is great for me to use to help me keep up with my weight and socializing with others
Would love for you to do this but for free apps!!
Great ideas! I love the Nature Treks! I bought TRIPP, but I am not very impressed with it. It takes forever for each area to load, and most often I feel like I am having a bad trip, pun intended, I just don’t care for all the things moving and the feeling of floating more or less. I do enjoy Big Screen, and Brink is amazing. I can hang out on a ledge in the Grand Canyon, or lay back and look at the beautiful night sky in Alabama. I am still trying to maneuver in Wander, so I am not giving an opinion on this app. Great video!
Underrated video
I cannot wait to see VR in 10 years. I believe in 10-20 years VR may replace some PCs. I work in IT and I need to stay on top of my game. So far I have seen and managed VRT for drones, Geo positioning, AutoCad for infrastruktura mapping. One will win Microsoft for business, Meta for fun and who know maybe google will make something nice too. and Steam for gaming hard core fans.
Dope
thank you for this amazing video. great tips and info, I find that very helpful specially for someone like me that never had VR-set but you sir have now changed my mind. any recommendation on what is one of the good vr sets to buy that isn't crazy expensive? once again thank you for the great content.
Bigscreen is the best! I often host rooms and meet lots of new people.
Quest 2 should give you a big check. This video is awesome. I am buying bc of this video alone! Thank you
Amazing, entire aim of this channel is to bring more people into VR and grow something I think is fantastic. Thanks for watching.
Thrill of the fight is my work out…wow what a workout
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. I'm not a gamer. I just ordered the meta quest 3 and I'm looking at what I can do with it besides gaming 😂
p-ORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I appreciate the suggestions. I'm new at this, and need all the help I can get lol.. Take care ❤
Awesome, your in for a lot of fun.
@@RushReality I'm excited, thanks again!
I can tell just from your comment that you are a good person/empath. I hope you have a good life.
@@monkeymonkerson your comment couldn't of been said at a better time. Thank you. My husband just got done berating me, unjustly I might add, so I was just feeling sad. TMI sorry. Just thought you'd like to know the impact of your kind words. Take care ❤
@@monkeymonkerson p.s. pretty dog, I have 2 pit bulls myself. 🥰
Desktop vr is pretty good, I can import my real desk , and see and use keybord or use hands and controllers to access my computer.
but who can work long hours with something tethered to their heads? Doesn't seem practical for a lot of work scenarios to me.... Maybe I'm missing something?
@@thomasherzog3318 , I don't see full work days in VR yet for most people, however, it brings a whole new level for work or education meetings! :)
@@SirLucidThoughts as long as you don't mind coming out of said meeting with a red ring around your face from having the headset on. :P My only point is that they have some quirks to work out still. :)
@@thomasherzog3318 you don't have to be tethered and the next quest 2 pro or Cambria or whatever will be a lot more like ski-goggles or something instead of the pretty big boxes we have now. if I had to guess it'll be 5-10 years and then everyone will own a pair of AR/VR glasses just like everyone has a smartphone now, I think AR will be key to getting the mainstream since most people will want to see the real world most of the time and AR has the potential to replace pretty much all screens we use now..

Thanks a great Video💐💐💐💐😎👌You can also get help & advice for social and mental issues i only seen it in Quest 2.
I would love to see one for Woodworking.
Picking up my vr tomorrow. Commenting bc there’s only 4 comments rn but ik you’ll have 2.1 mil by next mid year. And this comment will pop off and everyone will be like damn he called it.
Haha amazing. I sincerely hope you are correct
95 Axel: Unless your comment fades into the ethers of the ethereal like the fads of yore that these modern ilk devices will become.
Great vid!
Add to this language learning. Lessons come alive in your living room with Mondly VR.
Im sold
Yes! It's an amazing device.🙋🏼♀️
That was such great video! Just need “sidequest”
my favourite thing is watching movies like Cloverfield in VR, first person camera view is great
Nice Vid.
Maybe a dumb question but what vr set are the best? I just watched the video and would like to buy a pair of VR glasses 🙂
Which VR glasses are he using in the video?
Thank you for this video. I’ve never tried a VR headset. I have a question do you have to be sitting near your PC? Also, can I use this on my MacBook Pro? Thank you.
I need a part 2!
Well you are in luck!

Thanks for watching
You did forget (while you were mentioning the browser) about the WebApps it offers as well, I remember using some of them to see Chinese museums and stuff like that, very nice stuff.
Like what can you give me some examples of web apps and how to get them
@@morganbellew157 when you open the web browser it should have apps on its home screen that you can play with. Some of them are web games or just museum walkthroughs and such.
Awesome collection! Are there any or any of these apps hybrid? So people without a VR headset could join?
I want all of these
I just bought Quest 2 along with 16' cable to connect to my PC. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
this was a great demonstration however not clear to me if all these apps are available for all VRs or just the expensive ones like Map Quest. Thanks for sharing the information.
I am debating whether or not to try it. I do suffer from vertigo on occasion and wonder if these will trigger it. I dont want to game but curious to see what else it can offer me.
This is exactly the video i would have shown my parents to get allowance for a vr headset. Then play games all day.
possibilities are endless though. Looking forward to immersive sports in the future.
Noticed your t-shirt logo, fellow Hueligan!
A very big THANKS, you help me to know incredible good art application and more. It's a perfect video. Kisses !
I haven't got a pc but a iMac desktop , can this be linked up to it for the games? Thanks
This is so beautiful to watch. Just that I don't have a quest 2 😔
I have one for 500 tbh it was worth so save up
My wife just bought me a quest 2 so now I’m wanting to really utilize it thanks
So now she will be free to play with her neighbour while you're busy with the Quest, clever...😂
@@fabianresburgo5944 I didn’t need a quest 2 for that 🤣 but win win!
You spoke about the great fitness apps you can use instead of playing games but many of the games are pretty good at keeping you fit as well. Beat Sabre is one of the most popular games but it is also great for keeping you trim and supple even if it is not building muscles. Alternatively just try the game that the kids all love, Gorilla Tag. Because you move around fast using just your arms it gives you a great workout. One warning though, make sure you have plenty of space around you and ideally find a small rug to stand on so you do not move too far as that game is responsible for more broken TVs, hands and Quest controllers than any other game!
I'm utterly clueless about VR but I'm intrigued by the idea of a virtual cinema.
How does it work? Can you invite your friends to a private viewing of a film or is it more like real life, where you share a theatre with the general public? Can you talk to people in the theatre, or hear other people? How large does the screen look, and is there a "large space" effect to the sound, such as you would experience in a real cinema? And of course: how do you pay for a viewing?
So I literally downloaded it last night on my quest 2 for free. You start in your own private home Theater where u have a menu u can choose different films or tv shows. There’s also public viewing party’s that takes u to a public cinema where u can watch movies with other viewers and talk etc. as far as sound and stuff goes it’s usually pretty good but I’d definitely recommend headphones if your gonna sit down and actually watch a long movie. The paywall comes in with the 3D movies u are able to rent, it’s 5$ for each movie and there a list of like 15 movies (some decent movies honestly) and u can watch the 3D trailer to experience the effect and see if u like it. But from my experience it’s pretty legit. Oh and I almost forgot they prompt u to make a account when u start in order to invite friends to your theater etc…. Hope this helps.
@@ubieboobie5906 Thanks. Yes, that gives me a pretty good idea of what it's about. Not sure that this application alone is enough to make me want a VR system though - I'm old(ish) and don't play games or anything like that.
@@scollyer.tuition let me give you a different description from Ubies. (I've used these and other apps quite a bit, and I'm not much of a gamer either.)
So: on big screen, you can join someone's movie room or you can create your own. If you create your own you can set it public (and set a max number of people) or private, and invite specific friends if you wish or watch by yourself. There are a few environments (classic movie theater room, modern theater room, camp site, home room, and a few others).
There are movies for rental, but you can really play any movie you have on your computer for free even if you have a 3D movie on your pc (that will require a pc, even if the pc is not connected to your headset).
Worth noting: this is a spcial app. You have apps that are just for watching videos in a virtual screen without ability to invite people to join you. Those usually have slightly better controls, and can be an excellent choice to play videos directly from your headset's storage, and they can make it easy to watch videos laying down on your bed. (Excellent experience IMHO)
Although you are not a gamer I'd say: try a couple games. The novelty factor makes it worth the trouble.
And finally: vrchat. It's a social vr app, where users can build places and avatars (requires somewhat advanced knowledge of game design tools). In this platform there are movie theaters (with a vast collection of movies, even 3D ones), and there's also music, dance, karaoke, parties, community events (you'll need to be on discord servers to find out the time and place), and there's also simple games (even clones of beatsaber).
There is also p0rn (videos, social, games).
I worried I would be throwing money away when I bought the quest, but it's been awesome. If I were you I would wait for the quest 3 and buy it. It's totally worth it even if you don't game.
@@scollyer.tuition There are types of games that you might like. I'm 66.. I enjoy Beat Saber,.. fishing.. there's a very good Golf app and there are immersive experiences... you can tour Rome or other places.. there are mystery games, etc... you can interact with other players in some of them if you want or you can just do it alone. It's actually pretty cool.
Also great for maths debating.
I have one question. Do you have to stay still when using the vr or can you walk around? I only ask because I'm really interested in getting the Quest 3 for meditating on the beach but always wondered if it allows you to feel like you are actually walking on the beach or any other location. I hope that makes since. Have a great day.
