keyboards and nc.com our trusted

4
00:00:12,719 --> 00:00:18,800
retailer for high performance gaming PCs all right guys we're here at control VR

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:22,240
to check out easily the the most impressive demo I've seen at any

6
00:00:20,119 --> 00:00:28,960
convention so far if I can stroke your ego a little bit more uh with the CEO so

7
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:30,759
what H how does this work so uh what

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:36,040
what control VR is doing doing is we are providing uh users of virtual reality

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:39,840
such as Oculus the opportunity to put their hands in the game which is

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,719
something that has never been done before and it's really solving the

11
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:47,079
biggest issue that's been facing the the VR industry which is you know it's one

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:52,559
thing to be able to see an environment in 3D but how does one then see himself

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,760
in that experience and once you try it uh it really is hard to go back without

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:01:02,960
it and so uh the way it works is we're using uh a form of advanced wearable

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:06,920
technology and so these were uh tiny little sensors that were originally

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:10,799
developed for military applications that over time we've been able to uh adapt

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:16,560
and shrink the size down where we can place sensors on each of your fingers uh

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:21,280
and have complicated uh algorithms that basically are able to then create a

19
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:25,240
language that sends back to your operating system exactly how your

20
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:29,200
fingers are moving and it's a real real achievement it's it's it's completely

21
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:35,159
surreal because there there's a few things out right now where you can get like your ARM moving but it's usually

22
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:39,799
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

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,520
this thing on and you get the Oculus on and the first thing you do is lift your

24
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:48,040
hand up and start wiggling your fingers that's the weirdest thing ever and it it

25
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,799
feels amazing uh what what can we see coming from you guys in the future sure

26
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:57,880
so where we're at right now you can you can get the development kit on Kickstarter uh it's going to be running

27
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,159
for uh another couple weeks and then

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:05,280
what you can expect from us in the future is to uh get a great SDK we want

29
00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:09,479
to provide our community the best tools possible so that they can go and create

30
00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:13,000
the applications that really speak to them you know we're very passionate

31
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,680
about this technology and about the potential for really changing the world

32
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:20,160
with it because it it starts with gaming but also then you know goes into

33
00:02:18,239 --> 00:02:23,560
Physical Therapy applications potentially um robotics you know there's

34
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:29,680
there's really a lot of different applications for this so what you can expect from us is to get a quality

35
00:02:27,239 --> 00:02:33,440
product uh with an easy to use SDK and then from there you know we've already

36
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,519
begun working on uh you know the uh plans for the commercial product and

37
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,680
what you can expect in the future as a commercial product is you know we're

38
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,519
going to offer a wireless solution for this and then uh I think the the thing

39
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:51,360
that we're most excited about is the incorporation of feedback into into the

40
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:53,959
system and so um when you think about uh

41
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,519
having a controller for virtual reality you want to be able to also experience

42
00:02:55,959 --> 00:03:01,959
that that sensation when you reach out and touch something that you're touching

43
00:02:58,959 --> 00:03:04,080
it so uh the real huge hurdle has been

44
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:07,959
what we've accomplished now and uh you know including a feedback system

45
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:13,200
something we're already working on and is something that uh in in comparison is

46
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:16,599
is not nearly as complicated so we're excited to provide that uh as soon as we

47
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,879
can and as soon as the product's ready and we feel like it's ready for Consumer

48
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,920
Market where we just want to get it out there as quick as possible and that's

49
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,840
that's really important and being able to link that together you guys are going to have an SDK so being able to link

50
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:30,280
both of those together will be really helpful one really important thing about

51
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,599
immers is that all of your senses are immersed

52
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:40,560
and with oculus you only really get the one you only get Vision so being able to

53
00:03:37,959 --> 00:03:43,640
pull in touch and movement is very important and something that a lot of

54
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:48,400
people don't necessarily understand yeah sure in a drive-in game if you have a

55
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,720
model whose hands are fixed to the wheel at all points in time and you have a

56
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,720
wheel in front of you it might work but there's not honestly that many

57
00:03:53,200 --> 00:04:00,079
situations where that's perfect so it's nice to see you guys trying to tackle

58
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,599
two extremely important components of VR

59
00:04:00,079 --> 00:04:07,439
so that people can actually get this experience what is your final vision for

60
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:11,079
VR in general the whole experience sure so you know the final vision is

61
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,200
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

62
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:19,519
the Internet it's you know it's a very powerful thing that's out there and and

63
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:23,560
it'll evolve as people develop different applications for it so you know I

64
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:26,919
ultimately want to see this as a tool that improves the world uh and improves

65
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:32,520
communication I think it's going to be amazing for the classroom uh so the idea

66
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:36,639
of of a uh classroom full of you know 10-year-olds that are able to go to the

67
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:42,600
to the to the lou in Paris and be able to walk around and you know talk to each

68
00:04:38,919 --> 00:04:45,240
other uh once you do social VR um it's

69
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,759
one of the most powerful experiences uh that you'll have because you realize

70
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,960
that we have a future ahead of us where we're going to be able to connect with

71
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,880
people that we usually would not be able to connect with in a real meaningful way

72
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,880
so ultimately I I I'm just excited to see where where the community takes it

73
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,560
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

74
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,960
this to the community is insane because of how much this is traditionally expensive this is an insanely expensive

75
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:13,520
device and the fact that you guys are getting it at a fairly affordable amount

76
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,400
is just nuts and then you brought up uh being able to go to the lou this might

77
00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:22,319
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

78
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,039
the worst possible subjects in school and it's like wow I can actually go to

79
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,919
these different places and experience that in real life and the social

80
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:32,880
interaction that you were talking about the most insane experience I I've been

81
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:38,000
saying this is the the greatest demo ever but easily the greatest part of the

82
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:41,199
greatest demo ever was when I'm in this demo environment which is the space

83
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,720
environment which is like pretty cool but it's not the most compelling demo

84
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,479
ever and then you walk over and you see the other person that's in the demo and

85
00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:51,840
you wave at them and they wave back and you're like oh that's so cool and you

86
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,720
see like the little micro movements cuz you just both got excited that's nuts

87
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,960
that instantly made that demo which is like kind of cool absolutely amazing and

88
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:04,199
when you get into things like if you saw the kickstarter demo when there's a bunch of people there and you're all

89
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:08,680
just like playing around with food throwing like pingpong balls around and

90
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,639
like just doing whatever that's crazy it's it's not necessarily about this

91
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,520
this testing environment which is essentially what it is it's about what

92
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:19,720
you do with the testing environment so that is super super cool how is someone

93
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:23,000
going to go about getting one of these like I know the kickstarter has 23 24

94
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:25,880
days or something whenever you guys see this might be different but like at what

95
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:30,160
tiers you going to be able to get different levels of this device sure so

96
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,400
the see the entry point is $10 in which case you get an SDK and it's going to

97
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:38,440
allow you as a developer to see how you could incorporate this and start

98
00:06:35,759 --> 00:06:42,759
developing for uh for the platform uh you can get a one-ARM system for 350 and

99
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:47,319
then the complete experience is 600 for the full upper body motion capture with

100
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,840
your fingers which is absolutely unheard of you know and uh over time we're going

101
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,479
to continue to do everything we can to drive the uh the price of the system and

102
00:06:52,599 --> 00:06:59,000
the sensors down and I think that uh the solution that we're providing is

103
00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:03,160
something that uh is going to change your world so you know I think it

104
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,400
already did so well thank you and we want everyone to go out and you know

105
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,160
support the kickstarter and uh and help us you know realize this Vision that

106
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,120
that's being created and be a part of History that's fantastic if you're an indie developer that $10 SDK is really

107
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:16,960
not that hard to get into or if you're someone who just wants this like you

108
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:20,160
said there there's the one ARM experience there's the full body for 600

109
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,360
any of that kind of stuff that'll really help I'm super excited for this I think

110
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,240
we're going to have to sign off so I don't stay here for an hour um but

111
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,560
thanks again for showing us through that was absolutely fantastic thanks to

112
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,039
hyperx Corsair and ncx for sending us to this E3 like seriously we wouldn't I

113
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,680
wouldn't have been able to experience this awesome demo if it wasn't for them so thank you very much I'll see you guys

114
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,680
next time
