They weren't entirely interested in hopping into the market right off the bat. And personally, I think that was a smart move. They struck at the perfect time with the Valve Index and made one of the most popular PCVR headsets out there nowadays.

My first headset was the CV1 and even though I have the Rift-S, Quest, & Quest 2, I still prefer the CV1 due to its OLED displays and because of how light it is. The controllers are also a beast when it comes to battery life and are super light aswell.
Yep that was my experience as well. Its so light and the controllers are amazing. Unfortunately for me the quest pro is just better mainly due to the lenses.

What an amazing video. I got into VR with psvr1. Got quest 2 but i really feelt like I missed that golden pcvr days meta had with rift and rift s. So i got myself an used rift and rift s. Purchased all the AAA pcvr titles meta offered on PC on 2 accounts and i slowly completing them with a friend. Meta made most of their games multiplayer and works too this day!. I have now gotten myself the psvr2 and are excited for the future.
Thanks mate! Thanks for sharing your story. Eh i dont even think we have hit the golden age of PC VR yet maybe in a couple years haha! At least i hope so 😢Yeah Psvr2 looks cool enjoy it mate!
this really makes me have a new found appreciation for how far the tech has come, i remember in middle school my friends and I attempting to pool together a years worth of savings between all 3 of us only for none of our parents wanting to trust kickstarter, in hindsight im kinda glad as the DK1 probably wouldn't have been what we were after, but its insane to see how far its came in like a decade, id argue not even phones have gone through as big improvements (i mean with VR we went from no DOF to 6DOF full body tracking WITH hand tracking, with phones we went from what? touch screen with stylus to touch screen with finger?) its sad that the original oculus founder got thrown out, seems to be mark's kink really, but im also glad we got to have the quest and quest 2
Hey! by any chance can you make a video/tell me about how to set up an oculus dk1 with steam? i would be very grateful as i've been searching for entire days pissing blood. -an oculus dk1 user
@@josalt Thank you so much for answering! :D but i already did this and it doesn't work. steam sees my dk1 but it says it's sleeping and it needs to be woken up, i guess my computer is the problem.
The DK1 and DK2 days were amazing. Almost entirely in the hands of optimistic enthusiasts, all of the content and experiences being made were extremely creative and experimental. There were so many tech demos that are better than almost everything out there in recent years. There were no controllers back then, but there were all sorts of third-party companies making awesome hand tracking in motion cap type stuff. A lot of it was so much better than what we have now, of course what we have now is very accessible and user friendly. There was nothing more exciting in gaming than Palmer Luckey and Oculus. Midnight releases of new consoles were cool and all, but this was like stepping into a new thing altogether, and it was enthusiasts and small time developers showing what was possible that attracted eventually the venture capital etc. Nothings are a bit more sterile, but it's still great to be able to play practically any game in VR, even if all the experiments are largely gone.
It happens, hope you can eventually save up for a quest 2 or something soon 🙏 Personally I've always had a big empty room but no money for a VR setup but that changed today and I got a used rift cv1 for 90 and I'm using my old pc that's just good enough to run a few things in VR
i loved my cv1 then facebook had to screw over all the early cv1 adopters such as myself doing stupid stuff to make me loose trust in them i also didnt have the issues you had wit the cv1 i just set up my sensors and headset tightness and forgot about them
I am amazed. How did you do this? How long to edit? It’s been my dream to own a quest 2 and you have all of them? Amazing video, one of the best I’ve seen. Don’t give up man, your going places.
Hey! I did it everyday for 2 months constantly filming then edited it all at the end. Was a massive challenge but super satisfying to post! Im sure one day you will have a quest 2! Thanks for the nice words !
@@SoupieVR. You should wait for Meta quest 3 the successor of Quest 2. it’s going to come 6 months October 2023 according to the leaker. So please save up for meta quest 3 if it’s came out. So I don’t recommended buy meta quest 2 in 2023 because Quest 3 on its way I hope this helps you.
Great video! This really restored my hope in VR. I ordered a Quest 3 a bit ago and it hasn’t arrived yet. I was starting to regret my decision but this video really restored my hope in virtual reality. Great quality video, thank you for spending the time to make it.
The picture from the dk1 shows a lot of progression off the original headsets, weird to see how far it went in so little time then the internal development taking another like 2 decades to match
Thank you so much. I'm still on the OG Rift VC1 because I enjoy the light weight, behind-the-back tracking, PC Graphics and ASW. Looks like the Quest Pro finally made inside-out tracking work and the Quest 3 is similar, just without face tracking. Hope the latency and compression artifacts are okay when using it as PCVR. I really wish I could just plug it straight in.
@@Ordlnary_Gamer I think maybe he's referring to be able to plug it straight into the GPU like a native pcvr headset does to avoid the compression and artifacts.
Gear vr : Samsung and first ever quest “go” Rift and rift s : mostly first ever Quest go : for car Quest 1 : start of a new time Quest 2 : amazing stunning picture res Quest 3 : amazingly good Quest pro: its amazing (for working) but you can use to game, or pair with quest 2 for best experience
the one thing that made me fall in love with the quest two is just how much is capable. if you do something right, BOOM. you just did i great thing. people have found ways AND WAYS to make a quest two better. like playing pcvr wireless with index controllers. you can do SO MUCH with the quest two. it BLOWS me away.
I loved this video my first headset was the quest 1 I was just a 12 year boy who saved his $400 and bought I fell in love now I’m almost 16 and I bought a pc just to play vr and I have a index, quest 2, and kat walk c. I’m now a vr enthusiast I really believe in the technology. Even though stand-alone is what got me into vr I do wish meta didn’t ditch the whole pcvr community I want more AAA titles but I understand why they did this. Thank you for the history in the beginning too I’m sure this video will make people appreciate vr and not see it as a silly metaverse that may never happen.
You're so young, yet you're such an enthusiast! I'm also a young enthusiast, I'm about a year older than you, almost 17. I'm not as lucky as you, though. I only have a GearVR, Oculus Go, and Quest 2. Still, I love vr. And I plan to get many more headsets. Nice to meet a fellow young enthusiast!
@@DiamondDepthYT not every I meet someone my age with such a passion for vr not to be people can see the potential only the gimmick happy to meet another enthusiast!
Hey there, thanks for sharing your story about how you fell in love with VR! It was similar for me once i tried a rift s i was just hooked! It's awesome to see how much you've grown as a VR enthusiast, from your first Quest 1 to now owning an Index, Quest 2, and even a Kat Walk C i have always wondered if they are worth it ive never tried one! . Thanks for the nice words about the video providing some historical context and helping people to appreciate VR more. I thought it was important to understand where VR came from in order to better appreciate where it's going. And while it's true that Meta's focus on standalone VR may have left some PCVR enthusiasts feeling left out, it's important to remember that the goal is to make VR more accessible to everyone. With continued innovation and development, I'm sure we'll see amazing experiences and games on all platforms. I wish they would make a headset powerful enough to play VR games with a full operating systems like there holocake 2 prototype. Anyway, keep on enjoying VR and exploring all the incredible possibilities it has to offer!
I own the Oculus Rift and it’s great, the only downside and reason I replaced it was because it was old and was restricting the amount of games I could play
@@josalt doesn't matter if it's 2nd hand what a video man! Very knowledgeable even not 1 million vr channel can create such type of great content like history and unboxing of every quest not even think of it! This video was a lot needed! And please continue this type of content not boneworks alone!
when i say im young to vr, i really am! i got my vr in december 25th of 2023, and ever since i got my quest 2, ive loved vr to the most ever, its crazy how much a box on your face can change everything.
To add some more history, the inter period between the launch of the quest 1 to quest 2 was crazy, alot of people wanted the quest 1 but FB stopped production to get ready to sell the quest 2, so resellers were selling quest 1s for almost triple the rrp. I feel like those who only got into vr during the quest 2 really missed the early vr community and the fun and theories that were going on at the time, it feels like there was more innovation. Still happy to see more people in the community and enjoying the thing that many people have dedicated their life to
Yeah definitely i remember the time but for me i was unsure if i should get a rift s or wait for quest 2. There are lots i had to leave out of the vid because it would go forever. The hardest thing to cut was what happened between the DK2 and CV1. They built tonnes of controller prototypes and headset prototypes. Im sure there is lots more innovation in VR to come we will see if Apples headset lives up to the hype but unsure if the huge leaps will come from META.
@@shreeeze I do back that, im happy that the VR community is much larger now and people see the potential that VR has. But that being said I feel like the whole dynamic of the community has changed, it feels personally more toxic and theres less innovation, speculation and hope for VR as a whole. Im not sure what was the cause of all this and I wish to not point fingers, but im still happy how the community how it is today I just miss some elements of how it used to be
I been using a DK2 for sim racinmg and can say that after about 30/40mins I have to take a good brake from playing sadly the headset is on its last legs as the foam face cover has come away, I decided to order a Quest 2 as an upgrade as I got it for less than £200 new
ok but why did you set up an entire section around absolutely glazing a war profiteer? he brags about taking weapons contracts on his twitter. no matter how seriously you take his political fundings, he's far from what i'd call a "genuinely awesome guy". my jaw dropped dude
Plus his constant and not insignificant donations to republician politicians. One of those smarmy techbros we could really do without and certainly not awesome.
Glad it wasn't just me, what left me gobsmacked was the interview where he discussed choosing between defense, a nonprofit private prison company, or getting into petroleum based food products to combat obesity. No way it wasn't sarcastic, but it's like... all he got out of massive political fallout from a stupid impulse purchase was to double down on being a total asshole. More than war profiteer, human suffering and surveillance profiteer.
..are you talking about Palmer? Yeah, he's a terrible guy. But he's also the founder and creator of Oculus, the literal subject of this video. What did you expect? Also, I believe he was talking about Palmer in 2012-2015 ish, and not who he is today. Back then, he was very well praised.
38:51 I feel like for all of the quest’s, they should have had an option of black or white, I feel like a black quest 2 and quest 3 would look really good!
A single donation might steered entire vr industry downhill because of cancel culture. What a time to be alive... Actually let's see how quest 3 performs
I have a feeling quest 3 will be similar to everything we have gotten so far haha. Damn i just wish they woudl send the resolution as high as humanly possible !
The good enough passthrough in the quest 3 is a big difference for the casual users and opens possibility's for games! Quality overall is very good but indeed nothing special comparing to the more expensive headsets. Altough price vs quality they are the best in te market right now in my opinion !
I remember my Oculus Development Kit 1. Loved showing people roller coaster demos and things. Among the Sleep use to have a VR mode and was crazy with it. Now I own a bunch of VR Equipment.
The Gear VR, a few years ago, was my first VR experience. I used it with Virtual Desktop for any VR game that would take a gamepad or other form of joystick, it was great for Star Wars Squadrons and an early taste before I could nab myself an Oculus Quest. I think it's a very underrated headset, if you think outside the box
45:23 funny that you mentioned that, the vr hardware was invented for the U.S military and can only be used by them then the , consumer version came out years later like 5 or 10 years later ,
Thank you for this video, the quality was perfect, the background subtle music is amazingly immersive, the documentation is very interesting. Overall 10/10 video!
oh wow, republique vr looks great! sure its a little rough around the edges (due to being on a mobile headset) but still the asthetic is STRONG! so well done! Amazing! a well cobbled chunk of polygons looks way better than a infinitely poly dense flat world
As an early adopter.... ex-too-early-nobody-knowsVR-back-thenYTber...now career changed to IT and game developing hobbyist -> thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart! It is called preservation of what was []-D And you did it in a perfect execution :D Kudos to you!
fun fact: the samsung galaxy gear vr was used in lego land germany on one of there rids what they did was they used the vr to put you inside of like a lego world with many things flying and stuff they used the head tracking to know when you drop on the ride and stuff it was really cool when I tried it
DK1 was my first good VR experience, then CV1, then Rift S (also the first headset that was mine, DK1 and CV1 I used at the local sim racing center, quite often). Now I have a PICO 4, considering the Q3.. I like the PICO but the Oculus (now Meta 🥲) interface is just better...
Phenomenal video! I still use my CV1 from years back when i was in high school, recently been contemplating getting a new quest 2/3 but could never find a review where someone would compare to a CV1, so this weird niche review was extremely helpful for me. Thank you!
Am I the only one that sees how the 5:55 bro screen looks like Tuscany from bonelab/bone works, correct me if I’m wrong but is the bonelab map a fredrenxe to the be area he is in at 5:55?
i still remember the day my dad brought home a gear VR. and soon after started watching youtubers play on the oculus rift. it was such a dream to have tasted VR and see people enjoying it. i was beyond excited when i got my hands on the first oculus quest, i'd play it so much i'd get all sweaty from moving around so much. now with the quest 3 i without a doubt dub it one of my favorite pieces of gaming hardware

this really makes me have a new found appreciation for how far the tech has come, i remember in middle school my friends and I attempting to pool together a years worth of savings between all 3 of us only for none of our parents wanting to trust kickstarter, in hindsight im kinda glad as the DK1 probably wouldn't have been what we were after, but its insane to see how far its came in like a decade, id argue not even phones have gone through as big improvements (i mean with VR we went from no DOF to 6DOF full body tracking WITH hand tracking, with phones we went from what? touch screen with stylus to touch screen with finger?) its sad that the original oculus founder got thrown out, seems to be mark's kink really, but im also glad we got to have the quest and quest 2
Why are the feet blurred 31:45😂
Haha i thought it would be funny
@@josalt you ahould unblur them i think it would be a very good idea and many people would be very very happy with that delicious i mean decision
Hey! by any chance can you make a video/tell me about how to set up an oculus dk1 with steam? i would be very grateful as i've been searching for entire days pissing blood.
-an oculus dk1 user
Hey! Uninstall ALLL Oculus software from your computer then download this: developer.oculus.com/downloads/package/oculus-runtime-for-windows/
@@josalt Thank you so much for answering! :D but i already did this and it doesn't work. steam sees my dk1 but it says it's sleeping and it needs to be woken up, i guess my computer is the problem.
The DK1 and DK2 days were amazing. Almost entirely in the hands of optimistic enthusiasts, all of the content and experiences being made were extremely creative and experimental. There were so many tech demos that are better than almost everything out there in recent years.
There were no controllers back then, but there were all sorts of third-party companies making awesome hand tracking in motion cap type stuff. A lot of it was so much better than what we have now, of course what we have now is very accessible and user friendly.
There was nothing more exciting in gaming than Palmer Luckey and Oculus. Midnight releases of new consoles were cool and all, but this was like stepping into a new thing altogether, and it was enthusiasts and small time developers showing what was possible that attracted eventually the venture capital etc.
Nothings are a bit more sterile, but it's still great to be able to play practically any game in VR, even if all the experiments are largely gone.
update for quest 3?
Fun fact! At 43:48, you can actually get this old menu back by using the Oculus Link to your computer. "This is the default menu for pcvr"
Palmer is a nutcase xD
Wow! I never knew that was how the Quest line was made, it’s ABSOLUTELY amazing to see the DK2 and DK1 for the first time.
Called me poor in 9 different ways. I wish I could afford a quest 2
It happens, hope you can eventually save up for a quest 2 or something soon 🙏
Personally I've always had a big empty room but no money for a VR setup but that changed today and I got a used rift cv1 for 90 and I'm using my old pc that's just good enough to run a few things in VR
@@maverick9708cv-1 is awesome
might be able to snag a used one now
Try a pawn shop I managed to pick a used one up for 120 with light stick drift(fixed with blowing air into the stick) and a decent battery
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭same
i loved my cv1 then facebook had to screw over all the early cv1 adopters such as myself doing stupid stuff to make me loose trust in them i also didnt have the issues you had wit the cv1 i just set up my sensors and headset tightness and forgot about them
I am amazed. How did you do this? How long to edit? It’s been my dream to own a quest 2 and you have all of them? Amazing video, one of the best I’ve seen. Don’t give up man, your going places.
Hey! I did it everyday for 2 months constantly filming then edited it all at the end. Was a massive challenge but super satisfying to post! Im sure one day you will have a quest 2! Thanks for the nice words !
2 MONTHS? That is so long! That is dedication. Thanks I’ll try to get one, I’m saving up but all I have is $30 so it might take a while.
@@SoupieVR. You should wait for Meta quest 3 the successor of Quest 2.
it’s going to come 6 months October 2023 according to the leaker. So please save up for meta quest 3 if it’s came out.
So I don’t recommended buy meta quest 2 in 2023 because Quest 3 on its way
I hope this helps you.
@@yuyo09VR oh yeah, I just searched it up, thanks! By the time I have enough money it will be October so thanks so much for pointing that out.
@@SoupieVR. your welcome!
can I add you on oculus when your getting meta quest 3 :)
not the original quest 1 charger... 38:57
As usual, an incredibly well made and put together video! You deserve 100K Subs, and even more!
Wow, thank you!
@@josalt no problem man! 👍🏾💯
Great video! This really restored my hope in VR. I ordered a Quest 3 a bit ago and it hasn’t arrived yet. I was starting to regret my decision but this video really restored my hope in virtual reality. Great quality video, thank you for spending the time to make it.
The picture from the dk1 shows a lot of progression off the original headsets, weird to see how far it went in so little time then the internal development taking another like 2 decades to match
That impresive af
10/10 film
Thanks meme king
Thank you so much. I'm still on the OG Rift VC1 because I enjoy the light weight, behind-the-back tracking, PC Graphics and ASW.
Looks like the Quest Pro finally made inside-out tracking work and the Quest 3 is similar, just without face tracking. Hope the latency and compression artifacts are okay when using it as PCVR. I really wish I could just plug it straight in.
You can, but you must use a usb-c cable (preferably 3) to use it.
@@Ordlnary_Gamer I think maybe he's referring to be able to plug it straight into the GPU like a native pcvr headset does to avoid the compression and artifacts.
0:05 Is that tuscany
Yes
Gear vr : Samsung and first ever quest “go”
Rift and rift s : mostly first ever
Quest go : for car
Quest 1 : start of a new time
Quest 2 : amazing stunning picture res
Quest 3 : amazingly good
Quest pro: its amazing (for working) but you can use to game, or pair with quest 2 for best experience
Whos watching this quest 3 is out?
Me

the one thing that made me fall in love with the quest two is just how much is capable. if you do something right, BOOM. you just did i great thing. people have found ways AND WAYS to make a quest two better. like playing pcvr wireless with index controllers. you can do SO MUCH with the quest two. it BLOWS me away.
LETS GOOO!! THE LEGENDS BACK! Im getting up early for this.
🥰🥰
5:40 is that where Stress level Zero got tuscany for boneworks from?
I loved this video my first headset was the quest 1 I was just a 12 year boy who saved his $400 and bought I fell in love now I’m almost 16 and I bought a pc just to play vr and I have a index, quest 2, and kat walk c. I’m now a vr enthusiast I really believe in the technology. Even though stand-alone is what got me into vr I do wish meta didn’t ditch the whole pcvr community I want more AAA titles but I understand why they did this. Thank you for the history in the beginning too I’m sure this video will make people appreciate vr and not see it as a silly metaverse that may never happen.
You're so young, yet you're such an enthusiast! I'm also a young enthusiast, I'm about a year older than you, almost 17. I'm not as lucky as you, though. I only have a GearVR, Oculus Go, and Quest 2. Still, I love vr. And I plan to get many more headsets. Nice to meet a fellow young enthusiast!
@@DiamondDepthYT not every I meet someone my age with such a passion for vr not to be people can see the potential only the gimmick happy to meet another enthusiast!
@@andrewrodriguez1483 how you get big money like dat?
Hey there, thanks for sharing your story about how you fell in love with VR! It was similar for me once i tried a rift s i was just hooked! It's awesome to see how much you've grown as a VR enthusiast, from your first Quest 1 to now owning an Index, Quest 2, and even a Kat Walk C i have always wondered if they are worth it ive never tried one! .
Thanks for the nice words about the video providing some historical context and helping people to appreciate VR more. I thought it was important to understand where VR came from in order to better appreciate where it's going.
And while it's true that Meta's focus on standalone VR may have left some PCVR enthusiasts feeling left out, it's important to remember that the goal is to make VR more accessible to everyone. With continued innovation and development, I'm sure we'll see amazing experiences and games on all platforms. I wish they would make a headset powerful enough to play VR games with a full operating systems like there holocake 2 prototype.
Anyway, keep on enjoying VR and exploring all the incredible possibilities it has to offer!
@@josalt thank you for your response and time it means a lot
I own the Oculus Rift and it’s great, the only downside and reason I replaced it was because it was old and was restricting the amount of games I could play
must have been expensive but a good video definitely a underated creator
I got them 2nd had and did a few trades but loved making the video. Any excuse to buy more VR headsets... haha and thanks for the kind words!!
@@josalt doesn't matter if it's 2nd hand what a video man! Very knowledgeable even not 1 million vr channel can create such type of great content like history and unboxing of every quest not even think of it! This video was a lot needed! And please continue this type of content not boneworks alone!
@@Yaxsth Wow thanks so much for the kind words really does mean a lot! Yeah ill be branching out more haha but still have some boneworks stuff haha
@@josalt okay Np! 😂 Means a lot you can also do a Pico video? Like this
@@Yaxsth I want to but its expensive haha
when i say im young to vr, i really am! i got my vr in december 25th of 2023, and ever since i got my quest 2, ive loved vr to the most ever, its crazy how much a box on your face can change everything.
To add some more history, the inter period between the launch of the quest 1 to quest 2 was crazy, alot of people wanted the quest 1 but FB stopped production to get ready to sell the quest 2, so resellers were selling quest 1s for almost triple the rrp. I feel like those who only got into vr during the quest 2 really missed the early vr community and the fun and theories that were going on at the time, it feels like there was more innovation. Still happy to see more people in the community and enjoying the thing that many people have dedicated their life to
Yeah definitely i remember the time but for me i was unsure if i should get a rift s or wait for quest 2. There are lots i had to leave out of the vid because it would go forever. The hardest thing to cut was what happened between the DK2 and CV1. They built tonnes of controller prototypes and headset prototypes. Im sure there is lots more innovation in VR to come we will see if Apples headset lives up to the hype but unsure if the huge leaps will come from META.
The times before the Quest 2 were so amazing
@@shreeeze I do back that, im happy that the VR community is much larger now and people see the potential that VR has. But that being said I feel like the whole dynamic of the community has changed, it feels personally more toxic and theres less innovation, speculation and hope for VR as a whole. Im not sure what was the cause of all this and I wish to not point fingers, but im still happy how the community how it is today I just miss some elements of how it used to be
4:36 somebody tell me how the worlds first vr headset has a better fov than the quest 3
Amazing documentary
Thank you!
This RUclipsr is so underrated
Quest 1 still the best, the one I have so you know it’s true
cant argue with that
OLED and full IPD adjustment ftw
31:40 why are his feet blurred
"Palmer seems like a genuinly awesome guy"
Ah, you're one of those people.
Yikes.
And you are an even worse person
I been using a DK2 for sim racinmg and can say that after about 30/40mins I have to take a good brake from playing sadly the headset is on its last legs as the foam face cover has come away, I decided to order a Quest 2 as an upgrade as I got it for less than £200 new
JOSALT MOVIE
I mean basically haha
Watching while cleaning up my quest 2 too sell, hurts me letting go of this man.
I could've done without the 5 minutes of glazing palmer lmao
real.
hey quick thing at 47:54 , what/where is that map? i just cant find it
ok but why did you set up an entire section around absolutely glazing a war profiteer? he brags about taking weapons contracts on his twitter. no matter how seriously you take his political fundings, he's far from what i'd call a "genuinely awesome guy". my jaw dropped dude
Plus his constant and not insignificant donations to republician politicians. One of those smarmy techbros we could really do without and certainly not awesome.
Glad it wasn't just me, what left me gobsmacked was the interview where he discussed choosing between defense, a nonprofit private prison company, or getting into petroleum based food products to combat obesity. No way it wasn't sarcastic, but it's like... all he got out of massive political fallout from a stupid impulse purchase was to double down on being a total asshole. More than war profiteer, human suffering and surveillance profiteer.
Good thing we can skip over it...
..are you talking about Palmer?
Yeah, he's a terrible guy.
But he's also the founder and creator of Oculus, the literal subject of this video. What did you expect?
Also, I believe he was talking about Palmer in 2012-2015 ish, and not who he is today. Back then, he was very well praised.
Why is his feet blurred out at 31:40 ?
As a joke idk lol
who blurred palmers feet lol
Im glad someone noticed haha
@@josalt i noticed that too i was looking for some who saw thet lol also great vid
Yeah and I wonder why 😂
nice video, keep going
Thanks thats so nice! 🥰
do you want salt
and pepper
38:51
I feel like for all of the quest’s, they should have had an option of black or white, I feel like a black quest 2 and quest 3 would look really good!
A single donation might steered entire vr industry downhill because of cancel culture. What a time to be alive... Actually let's see how quest 3 performs
I have a feeling quest 3 will be similar to everything we have gotten so far haha. Damn i just wish they woudl send the resolution as high as humanly possible !
The good enough passthrough in the quest 3 is a big difference for the casual users and opens possibility's for games! Quality overall is very good but indeed nothing special comparing to the more expensive headsets. Altough price vs quality they are the best in te market right now in my opinion !
I remember my Oculus Development Kit 1.
Loved showing people roller coaster demos and things.
Among the Sleep use to have a VR mode and was crazy with it.
Now I own a bunch of VR Equipment.
Frige pics
There is a fridge in this one
@@josalt
Gimme a free one deal
I bought the original quest but i hate that they are not releasing any more games for it as its outdated and discontinued
Palmer seems like an awesome guy??? Trump supporter who is now devoted to border control.... Ye what a cool guy
Now we need the meta quest 3!
The Gear VR, a few years ago, was my first VR experience. I used it with Virtual Desktop for any VR game that would take a gamepad or other form of joystick, it was great for Star Wars Squadrons and an early taste before I could nab myself an Oculus Quest. I think it's a very underrated headset, if you think outside the box
Wow, that was a great video! I love all the little transitions and edits. Also, that is a nice fridge.
Thanks for the kind words!
45:23 funny that you mentioned that, the vr hardware was invented for the U.S military and can only be used by them then the , consumer version came out years later like 5 or 10 years later ,
mmm
Thank you for this video, the quality was perfect, the background subtle music is amazingly immersive, the documentation is very interesting. Overall 10/10 video!
What's the space game he is playing at 59:14 on Quest Pro?
Whats the game name 57:40
oh wow, republique vr looks great! sure its a little rough around the edges (due to being on a mobile headset) but still the asthetic is STRONG! so well done! Amazing! a well cobbled chunk of polygons looks way better than a infinitely poly dense flat world
Palmer luckey boosted the vr thoughts and now he has created a headset that explodes when you die in game
Rift-S was my first VR, got it at the launch of Alyx. I remember booting up the first time. Awesome!
As an early adopter.... ex-too-early-nobody-knowsVR-back-thenYTber...now career changed to IT and game developing hobbyist -> thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart! It is called preservation of what was []-D And you did it in a perfect execution :D Kudos to you!
fun fact: the samsung galaxy gear vr was used in lego land germany on one of there rids what they did was they used the vr to put you inside of like a lego world with many things flying and stuff they used the head tracking to know when you drop on the ride and stuff it was really cool when I tried it
wow
DK1 was my first good VR experience, then CV1, then Rift S (also the first headset that was mine, DK1 and CV1 I used at the local sim racing center, quite often). Now I have a PICO 4, considering the Q3.. I like the PICO but the Oculus (now Meta 🥲) interface is just better...
Gear vr was my first vr headset, now 8 years later Im going into vr again with quest 3
Dude, i dont get how you made the gear vr work! I just cant get it to work! Pls give a tutorial of how you did it
Phenomenal video! I still use my CV1 from years back when i was in high school, recently been contemplating getting a new quest 2/3 but could never find a review where someone would compare to a CV1, so this weird niche review was extremely helpful for me. Thank you!
Am I the only one that sees how the 5:55 bro screen looks like Tuscany from bonelab/bone works, correct me if I’m wrong but is the bonelab map a fredrenxe to the be area he is in at 5:55?
what is the name of the game on gear vr
Which one?
@@josalt17:31 gear vr this
Why were you blurring lone echo in your oculus home menu? 43:41
i still remember the day my dad brought home a gear VR. and soon after started watching youtubers play on the oculus rift. it was such a dream to have tasted VR and see people enjoying it. i was beyond excited when i got my hands on the first oculus quest, i'd play it so much i'd get all sweaty from moving around so much. now with the quest 3 i without a doubt dub it one of my favorite pieces of gaming hardware
hello nice video. i have oculus dk1 dk2. how did u set up the oculus dk to vrchat steamvr
Oculus utility running then if you just run steam vr it works 👐👐
I really like the way your videos are formed, And your way of narrating.
31:36 why did they blur his feet out
hey could you give me the link of the external usb hub that you used for the rift s , thanks!
Which runtime did you use for dk2 because when I tried it the drivers broke my computer also how did you get it working with steam vr
The oculus go menu is so nostalgic.
