    what if his controller flew out of his hand and smashed through the window and it fell all the way down and you ran down the stairs to get it and then the little tracking part on the side just snapped off and you used duct tape to put it back on and then there was a shortage of parts so then you couldn't buy a new one but ur like the vr guy so valve is like "Frick it he's the vr guy" and they send you a one made out of their leftover scraps made of cardboard and then it breaks because the base stations can't track it so then it starts freaking out and gives you a seizure and then you go to the hospital because your index controller flew out the window.

    As someone who's a partner in a small company that does electronics, all I can say is the struggle they're talking about is super real. All the huge companies could just buy their way out of the problem, but all the little guys were completely shafted when the part shortage hit. it's been a really rough couple years. I commend them for sticking through it. The fact that they're still around at all is a testament to their will to survive and to keep improving. I wouldn't hesitate to pre-order if I was in a place to financially do so (but I'm not, due to the same reasons mentioned above, things are tight. support the companies that are doing what you love)

    If anyone from shockwave sees this comment; know this, once get a headset, I'm coming for you. So please, do what you have to do to stay afloat and keep innovating. Your tech is the most promising I've seen yet at a price point that won't break the banc.
    For reference of timeframe, I'm waiting on the Deckard (returned my Vive XRE, it just wasn't working out as I hoped) So once the Deckard comes out and is true stand-alone (or if a killer stand-alone comes of the Samsung-Google-Qualcomm joint venture), expect an order from me.
    I have a good feeling you guys will hit it out of the park, just look at what Slime has achieved. The time your brand reared its face just happened to be the worst and most challenging time but it looks like you lot overcame it! Hang in there, you got this! :)

    •  Год назад +10

      Also, to Thrillseeker, you absolutely are doing Shockwave a big solid by bringing attention to them. Your channel has nearly 700k people subscribed at the time of this writing. Hypothetically speaking, if EVERY one of your subscribers tuned in to this video and learn about Shockwave, that's a LOT of attention that just got directed to this startup that can literally lift them out of the dark spot they're in.
      Basically, if your followers see you using it and giving your honest review/impressions of it, that can mean the world to Shockwave.

      The problem with standards is that usually if a big company sets the bar and they register that, then nobody else but the same company can use it unless other they pay extra for the license and stuff. So it's a standardized way to make every experience fairly similar but in the other hand it depends on how greedy companies are with this. I'm not saying they shouldn't monetize it but just imagine if Apple or EA made a standard of such thing, they'll monetize the hecc out of it and will leave any indie developers out of the loop by default or will at least be much harder to get into that, it would make it more simple to the consumer tho, but that's a tradeoff for developers I think.
      Unless the whole thing gets opensource then that might be a good alternative too I guess.

      Could you imagine if/when full body tracking haptic suits are mainstream, and become the norm for VR, where the tech is far more advanced than the best you can find today? It's going to be insane. Just hearing someone behind you with proximity chat alone is insane, let alone them tapping your shoulder first and feeling it like it's real life..
      Imagine getting shot in the back with a burst of shots and feeling the exact points they entered your body in the game, feeling rain drops hitting your shoulders, being in an explosion with shock all over your 99% of your suit, hugging another player feeling pressure on your chest, arms and pats on your back, boxing getting hit with body shots that you don't just see but feel at different strengths depending on the other players speed, it's just gonna make VR that much more immersive that once it's made into a good quality, affordable, highly responsive product I can't see myself not using one.

So, if not for the ones putting out content for those that could get others into this group, the economy behind this cannot progress. So, I get where they're coming from. Hopefully they get more ppl to preorder so that they can get the funding to keep the ball rolling and even work on improving the suit.

    Extremely important update on the suit: The company is currently in the "cover their a**" stage, as they are refusing to deliver more suits to backers and stopped sending every new suit order. Every few days to weeks we would get a new person in their discord saying the purchased the suit months ago, only to be ghosted and unable to perform a chargeback; many who came into the server were still without their suit months after their initial joining. The server has been deleted by the Shockwave Team, due to extreme negative feedback from obviously upset consumers, and the many backers they had yet to send the suit to (such as me) when this video went up would also voice their displeasure. Since the video went up, there had still not been a single update from the team since the few months prior to the video going up. Hoping this gets pinned by Thrill as its a serious red flag on the companies part. There was a suit, but now it is a gamble that is not in your favor: either you get something like what you bought (many reported a different suit entirely being substituted, or in incomplete packages or incorrect sizes), if anything, or you get nothing.

      The reality is probably exactly what they said in the video. They don’t have the money to make new suits. I don’t mean to minimize your problems but when you’re buying into a start up that’s in the R&D stage you should expect delays and issues along the way. If you paid into the kickstarter and expected everything to come on time exactly as promised you were incredibly naïve and should rethink how you support startup companies in the future. Startups are volatile and way more susceptible to changes in material prices and don’t have nearly as much capital to work with as large companies. If I were you I’d just ride it out and hope for the best.

What he said about "I shouldn't say this as an entrepreneur" is correct, because it doesn't inspire faith in the company and the project. That being said, one of the scariest and bravest things someone can do is admit they need help and reach out. Doing so is putting aside all pride. I can respect that and I hope they get the support they need to not go under so they can continue to blow minds with new advances in tech. I believe in putting your money where your mouth is, so I'll probably be getting on the preorder of this when I got the spare time and money.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 🤖 The video introduces a new full body haptic suit called Shockwave that provides touch feedback and motion capture for VR.
    00:27 🤯 The Shockwave suit has 72 haptic motors and provides nearly full body tracking for under $500, compared to $2500+ for alternatives.
    01:46 🕹️ The suit works with VR games like Boneworks and VRChat to enable touch interactions between players.
    03:11 ❌ However, the suit has some issues like random disconnects and no easy recalibration method.
    04:08 📈 But the tracking is quite good, comparable to Vive Trackers, and the haptics can be very immersive.
    09:59 💸 Shockwave underpriced their Kickstarter and now can't fulfill all backer rewards due to rising costs.
    12:31 🤔 The company is relying on new pre-orders to fund production, putting their fate in the hands of this video.

    So update on an order I made a year ago for my haptic suit:
    It's broken, second time wearing it and it's broken, depending on the haptics and where on the suit is giving feedback it'll just fully shut off, disconnect, then power cycle. I'm not surprised, it's made like absolute crap, nothing at all like what was shown in this video. The suit utilizes connectors that are not at all meant for this type of application, they're connectors that are really closer to SATA power than anything else, and they're _not_ at all durable or able to handle _any_ kind of stress. Worse part is the suit isn't able to be washed as it's literally just a suit with a bunch of haptic motors glued on the inside with a PCB stuffed in the back of the torso. Oh yeah, and it connects via a rando USB-C port in the same spot, good luck plugging in while you're in the suit.
    What a nightmarish waste of $250 I should've known better.

Their company does seem to be genuine about their attempts from what I've seen so far and had been providing regular updates about the project on their discord server and via kickstarter emails; though I will note the updates seem to have slowed down in the last few months which I suspect was due to their funds drying up and their priorities shifting towards fund raising to finish their commitments.
    I do sincerely hope this video will help them raise the funds needed to complete the project, but even if it doesn't, I still feel at least a little bit better for having seen this video and knowing that they're trying their best to get the project made, even if it is much later than originally expected.

I hope they will be they break even, and start RND for next version of the suit with less drifting and better haptics.

    As an early backer I REALLY hope this works, I don't think anyone in Europe has received a suit and I had honestly resigned myself to accepting I was scammed but I trust you dude so let's see if Shockwave can deliver
    Also, you didn't mention (maybe didn't know) that a year after the project was funded they asked backers for an extra £40 for 'additional shoulder and foot trackers', but at that time they were apparently already in trouble with spiralling costs so it very much looks like it was just ploy to get more money
    As I said I really hope the publicity from this video enables them to get the product out but I couldn't personally recommend the pre-orders as I just don't have enough confidence or trust in them for that myself

    I must admit that I've been in a Community that's had issues with pricing and getting things out, I've spoken with the people behind it and I've seen it go as well as can be. However I also was very skeptic that it wasn't a Kick-Scam, it doesn't seem to be, but now there's the payment issues; I really do feel for them wanting to price their product reasonably. The issues is now that they've proven do I pre-order at a higher price to pay for the Backers or do I continue playing the waiting game.

    It's the right price at the right time, even at $500 a piece this is a good deal. So... I'm ordering one. It's not perfectly functional, but it's way better than not having either, and far more affordable.
    Ideally, Shockwave will eventually release their driver support code to Valve's OpenVR project so support can spread industry-wide, but just having the IMUs integrated into an actual suit is a boon in itself.

Although, they're already impementing AI for this, so maybe a more "techy" community like valve's targetting would be interested. having said so, this looks promising

    I wish VRChat wasn't the most toxic vr application that exists today. I've seen the worst to the best on VRChat and have enjoyed playing it, but no matter who you are, you cannot help but run into toxic bullies and people who feed off of your emotions. Evil people fill every dark gap in society. Even in "futuristic" games like VRChat. It seems like the feeling of being anonymous gives people an excuse to bully other players and ruin the experience for not only that victim but everyone else in that room. Unfortunately for people who don't have great social skills but happen to have a vr headset, being able to talk to people and play putt putt in your room is not only a great time, but helps you improve your social skills, especially if you don't want to waste gas money and time, trying to contact your friend so you can hang out with them once a week. To sum this up, I feel like VRChat is a great place for social interaction and building social skills, but come at the risk of meeting demented bullies, jerks, weebs, white knights, and wierdos. But It seems like trying to be friends IRL is also a challenge and when we live in a world filled with quick and fast methods of doing things, waiting for long periods of time for 1 friend that may or may not ghost you is not realistic either.
