thing","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":163.12,"end_s":171.36,"text":"that we're most excited about is the incorporation of feedback into into

is","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":190.56,"end_s":196.599,"text":"is not nearly as complicated so we're excited to provide that uh as soon as we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":195.08,"end_s":199.879,"text":"can and as soon as the product's ready and we feel like it's ready for

that's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":201.44,"end_s":206.84,"text":"that's really important and being able to link that together you guys are going to have an SDK so being able to

about","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":209.36,"end_s":215.599,"text":"immers is that all of your senses are

I","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":261.759,"end_s":266.919,"text":"ultimately want to see this as a tool that improves the world uh and improves","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":265.32,"end_s":272.52,"text":"communication I think it's going to be amazing for the classroom uh so the idea","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":269.56,"end_s":276.639,"text":"of of a uh classroom full of you know 10-year-olds that are able to go to

each","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.919,"end_s":285.24,"text":"other uh once you do social VR um it's","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":282.6,"end_s":288.759,"text":"one of the most powerful experiences uh that you'll have because you realize","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":286.96,"end_s":291.96,"text":"that we have a future ahead of us where we're going to be

way","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":294.32,"end_s":299.88,"text":"so ultimately I I I'm just excited to see where where the community takes it","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":298.56,"end_s":304.56,"text":"for sure there's a there's a couple things in that I want to that I want to branch on one is being able to bring","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":302.96,"end_s":308.96,"text":"this to the community is insane because of how much this is traditionally expensive this is an insanely

amount","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":311.199,"end_s":317.4,"text":"is just nuts and then you brought up uh being able to go to the lou this might","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":315.759,"end_s":322.319,"text":"make history class interesting that's that's probably the first time I've ever been able to say that like it's one

social","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":327.84,"end_s":332.88,"text":"interaction that you were talking about the most insane experience I I've been","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":331.36,"end_s":338.0,"text":"saying this is the the greatest demo ever but easily the greatest part of the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":335.28,"end_s":341.199,"text":"greatest demo ever was when I'm in this demo environment which is the space","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":339.52,"end_s":344.72,"text":"environment which is like pretty cool but it's not the most compelling demo","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":342.96,"end_s":348.479,"text":"ever and then you walk over and you see the other person that's in the demo and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":346.759,"end_s":351.84,"text":"you wave at them and they wave back and you're like oh that's so cool and you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":350.16,"end_s":355.72,"text":"see like the little micro movements cuz you just both got excited that's nuts","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":354.16,"end_s":359.96,"text":"that instantly made that demo which is like kind of cool absolutely amazing and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":358.52,"end_s":364.199,"text":"when you get into things like if you saw the kickstarter demo when there's a bunch of people there and you're

what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":373.96,"end_s":379.72,"text":"you do with the testing environment so that is super super cool how is someone","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":378.639,"end_s":383.0,"text":"going to go about getting one of these like I know the kickstarter has 23 24","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":381.639,"end_s":385.88,"text":"days or something whenever you guys see this might be different but like at what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":384.84,"end_s":390.16,"text":"tiers you going to be able to get different levels of this device sure so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":388.0,"end_s":394.4,"text":"the see the entry point is $10 in which case you get an SDK and it's going

guys","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":458.08,"end_s":460.68,"text":"next time","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"Linus Tech tips coverage of E3 2014 is brought to you by hyperx Fury series high performance ssds the Corsair Vengeance k70 and k90 RGB mechanical keyboards and nc.com our trusted retailer for high performance gaming PCs all right guys we're here at control VR to check out easily the the most impressive demo I've seen at any convention so far if I can stroke your ego a little bit more uh with the CEO so what H how does this work so uh what what control VR is doing doing is we are providing uh users of virtual reality such as Oculus the opportunity to put their hands in the game which is something that has never been done before and it's really solving the biggest issue that's been facing the the VR industry which is you know it's one thing to be able to see an environment in 3D but how does one then see himself in that experience and once you try it uh it really is hard to go back without it and so uh the way it works is we're using uh a form of advanced wearable technology and so these were uh tiny little sensors that were originally developed for military applications that over time we've been able to uh adapt and shrink the size down where we can place sensors on each of your fingers uh and have complicated uh algorithms that basically are able to then create a language that sends back to your operating system exactly how your fingers are moving and it's a real real achievement it's it's it's completely surreal because there there's a few things out right now where you can get like your ARM moving but it's usually very not very well synced and your fingers aren't going to move with it and all that kind of stuff and when you put this thing on and you get the Oculus on and the first thing you do is lift your hand up and start wiggling your fingers that's the weirdest thing ever and it it feels amazing uh what what can we see coming from you guys in the future sure so where we're at right now you can you can get the development kit on Kickstarter uh it's going to be running for uh another couple weeks and then what you can expect from us in the future is to uh get a great SDK we want to provide our community the best tools possible so that they can go and create the applications that really speak to them you know we're very passionate about this technology and about the potential for really changing the world with it because it it starts with gaming but also then you know goes into Physical Therapy applications potentially um robotics you know there's there's really a lot of different applications for this so what you can expect from us is to get a quality product uh with an easy to use SDK and then from there you know we've already begun working on uh you know the uh plans for the commercial product and what you can expect in the future as a commercial product is you know we're going to offer a wireless solution for this and then uh I think the the thing that we're most excited about is the incorporation of feedback into into the system and so um when you think about uh having a controller for virtual reality you want to be able to also experience that that sensation when you reach out and touch something that you're touching it so uh the real huge hurdle has been what we've accomplished now and uh you know including a feedback system something we're already working on and is something that uh in in comparison is is not nearly as complicated so we're excited to provide that uh as soon as we can and as soon as the product's ready and we feel like it's ready for Consumer Market where we just want to get it out there as quick as possible and that's that's really important and being able to link that together you guys are going to have an SDK so being able to link both of those together will be really helpful one really important thing about immers is that all of your senses are immersed and with oculus you only really get the one you only get Vision so being able to pull in touch and movement is very important and something that a lot of people don't necessarily understand yeah sure in a drive-in game if you have a model whose hands are fixed to the wheel at all points in time and you have a wheel in front of you it might work but there's not honestly that many situations where that's perfect so it's nice to see you guys trying to tackle two extremely important components of VR so that people can actually get this experience what is your final vision for VR in general the whole experience sure so you know the final vision is something that uh I I can't even articulate because we don't know where it's going to go it's like sort of like the Internet it's you know it's a very powerful thing that's out there and and it'll evolve as people develop different applications for it so you know I ultimately want to see this as a tool that improves the world uh and improves communication I think it's going to be amazing for the classroom uh so the idea of of a uh classroom full of you know 10-year-olds that are able to go to the to the to the lou in Paris and be able to walk around and you know talk to each other uh once you do social VR um it's one of the most powerful experiences uh that you'll have because you realize that we have a future ahead of us where we're going to be able to connect with people that we usually would not be able to connect with in a real meaningful way so ultimately I I I'm just excited to see where where the community takes it for sure there's a there's a couple things in that I want to that I want to branch on one is being able to bring this to the community is insane because of how much this is traditionally expensive this is an insanely expensive device and the fact that you guys are getting it at a fairly affordable amount is just nuts and then you brought up uh being able to go to the lou this might make history class interesting that's that's probably the first time I've ever been able to say that like it's one of the worst possible subjects in school and it's like wow I can actually go to these different places and experience that in real life and the social interaction that you were talking about the most insane experience I I've been saying this is the the greatest demo ever but easily the greatest part of the greatest demo ever was when I'm in this demo environment which is the space environment which is like pretty cool but it's not the most compelling demo ever and then you walk over and you see the other person that's in the demo and you wave at them and they wave back and you're like oh that's so cool and you see like the little micro movements cuz you just both got excited that's nuts that instantly made that demo which is like kind of cool absolutely amazing and when you get into things like if you saw the kickstarter demo when there's a bunch of people there and you're all just like playing around with food throwing like pingpong balls around and like just doing whatever that's crazy it's it's not necessarily about this this testing environment which is essentially what it is it's about what you do with the testing environment so that is super super cool how is someone going to go about getting one of these like I know the kickstarter has 23 24 days or something whenever you guys see this might be different but like at what tiers you going to be able to get different levels of this device sure so the see the entry point is $10 in which case you get an SDK and it's going to allow you as a developer to see how you could incorporate this and start developing for uh for the platform uh you can get a one-ARM system for 350 and then the complete experience is 600 for the full upper body motion capture with your fingers which is absolutely unheard of you know and uh over time we're going to continue to do everything
