4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:17,560
video will be a bit of a a bit of a Blog

5
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:25,119
style of the first time for both me and slick with the Omni by virtuix so uh

6
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:29,400
guys uh feel free to come along for the ride so the first thing is you want to

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:34,480
get kitted up with the appropriate Footwear so um I I was very disappointed

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,440
when I didn't get to wear the the moccasins that the unit was demoed with

9
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,520
but I got some stylish Converse shoes which I don't think I've seen anything

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:47,879
like in at least 10 years um at least not on people's

11
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:52,000
feet but uh you've got the special felt on the toes and then you've got the uh

12
00:00:49,879 --> 00:00:56,359
the the slippy Parts on the on the rest of the bottom of the shoe and then once

13
00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:00,239
you're once you're in the shoes uh getting into the getting into the device

14
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:03,359
can be a bit of a trip so to speak more of a more of a more of a slip you want

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:07,520
to be really careful support yourself on the ring because if you don't then you

16
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:12,000
might accidentally give a heart attack to the uh to the creator of the Omni

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:17,560
while you uh while you get into the device whoa no no I'm just kidding oh my

18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,560
God my my heart

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,840
stopped that was a good one I'm sorry

20
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,400
could you hand me the pen please yeah sure

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,880
left but um there's a bit of a there's a bit of an orientation process so so even

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,000
once you're in there you want to kind of put some weight on the ring and take

23
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:42,159
really small steps now this is before the connect is involved this is before

24
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:43,280
you put any kind of other VR device on

25
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:48,399
anything like that you don't want to put the Oculus on before you've actually practiced a few steps but honestly I got

26
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:53,560
it pretty quickly it was quoted that you need about 10 to 15 minutes before you

27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:57,719
kind of get the hang of it and uh I'd say by the time I was done playing the

28
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:02,280
game I probably had 10 or 15 minutes on it and it was feeling much more already

29
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:06,399
compared to when I first got on but the the slipperiness of part of your feet

30
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:10,920
and the and the grippiness of part of them doesn't feel quite right unless

31
00:02:08,679 --> 00:02:13,560
unless you're you're moving or you're standing but not really anywhere in

32
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:19,080
between if you're standing like talking to people around the device then it's going to be a little bit unnatural now

33
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:23,120
one thing that I noticed immediately is that I wanted a little bit more grip on

34
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,680
the toes but it looks like it may be possible to find tune that with

35
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,200
different Felts and and things like that so next up you put on the Belt which has

36
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:36,360
a a strap in the middle that I think I'm going to call the crotch Crusher because

37
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,720
I mean the the Design's totally not final and hopefully it'll be something

38
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:46,000
more like a climbing belt where there's like two straps in a V rather than like

39
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:47,519
one thick you know that holds you up but

40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,280
it's important to have the belt tight because what you'll find what I found

41
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:54,640
myself doing at least as a as a noob with it is putting a little bit of

42
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,159
weight on the ring as I moved myself forward whereas I think once with a

43
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:01,280
little bit more practice I could avoid putting so much weight on it and I

44
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:05,560
wouldn't need need the belt nearly as much actually slick will be going

45
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,239
straight onto it with no belt so that'll be that'll be interesting stay tuned for

46
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,680
that um The Connect judges how fast you move

47
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,720
by how quickly your legs travel so you could cheat the system by just kind of

48
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,239
taking your feet and going like this in all likelihood but that's not really the

49
00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:25,440
point I mean I see this as not only a device that makes the game more

50
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,840
immersive but I see it as also a way to

51
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:31,720
you know uh put your pedometer on and go for a bit of a walk go for a Brisk

52
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:36,239
stroke heck go for a run because once I spent a little bit of time on it I was

53
00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:37,959
able to take much bigger steps and and

54
00:03:36,239 --> 00:03:43,760
move at a much faster Pace without without just kind of gaming it um so

55
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,599
then next up is you put on the Oculus so

56
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,360
now you're oh no next upep yeah the Buns of the belts on next step is you put on

57
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:52,319
the Oculus and then you want to calibrate the connect so make sure it's

58
00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:56,879
only picking up you because if other people are in the field of you you're going to have some issues where you know

59
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:02,680
your guy might just keep running cuz someone else is moving around in the room then you hold the gun now for me

60
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:09,799
where this is really going to come to life is when the gun aiming is decoupled

61
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,000
from looking is decoupled from moving because right now I was able to do it I

62
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:17,280
was able to kill dudes and get through the level but what you have to do is you

63
00:04:15,239 --> 00:04:21,720
you could actually Walk In One Direction and look like this to go around corners

64
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:26,560
but what I want is to be able to walk around a

65
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,680
corner but moving my body around so with

66
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,560
like a wireless Oculus this will be a very immersive experience

67
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,919
um and had no idea especially the first time I had no idea where I was looking

68
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:41,240
in the room once I actually took the Oculus off because of how immersed in

69
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,360
the gameplay experience I was one thing that I I made a mistake I didn't think

70
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:48,880
the Oculus was stereo 3D the first time I was playing with it it's kind of low

71
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,639
res it's a developer kit and all that kind of stuff but but once things are

72
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:58,639
higher res and you can actually adjust the depth of the picture it hadn't been adjusted it was quite flat then the sky

73
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:03,000
is pretty much the limit on this now this is the first time that I've tried

74
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:07,560
virtual reality since a random like low reses crappy game at plaum and let me

75
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:10,759
tell you it has come a long way and with that one basically you just like stood

76
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,800
there and like looked and it was like a shooting range it was like ski shooting

77
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,479
but this is totally different now we're playing an actual triaa title where

78
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,479
instead of being impressed by halflife 2's ragd doll physics we're impressed by

79
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:27,919
the ability that we get to walk around in this game environment shooting things

80
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:30,919
and it's just totally totally totally

81
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:33,440
totally different

82
00:05:30,919 --> 00:05:37,840
um I think that's pretty much it for me so slicks up

83
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:42,960
next all right so my use case was kind of um withdrawn I guess a little bit

84
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:48,479
because I had to use shoes that were much smaller than my size will they kind

85
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:52,479
of fit I was using size 11 shoes I wear size 13 shoes so my toes were really

86
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:57,880
curled up inside it was a really tight fit that wasn't comfortable and then the

87
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:02,639
waistband while they will have different sizes the one here is the right size for

88
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:05,800
me so I couldn't wear it so I was using shoes that weren't the right size and I

89
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:11,199
was not using the waistband in a situation where I would ideally be

90
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:14,199
running so all that put aside it was

91
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:16,199
freaking amazing um stepping into it I

92
00:06:14,199 --> 00:06:20,520
just stepped right into the middle which made it so that it didn't slip I don't

93
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:29,400
know I'm not too worried about that there's also supports on the sides you can hold some of your weight up with it

94
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:31,440
um taking your first few steps is kind

95
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:35,440
of surreal especially especially because that was the first time that I had ever

96
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:39,160
worn Oculus Rift so walking around in it is interesting when you can see

97
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:43,199
everything around you and you're like oh this is kind of cool I'm walking but not

98
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:48,599
actually moving anywhere that's interesting then you put the Oculus Rift on and you're like holy crap I'm walking

99
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,000
and I'm not moving but I am moving and I can look and shoot and do all this kind

100
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:58,879
of stuff all at the same time so it definitely adds to the experience which is awesome um one thing I did was I kind

101
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:04,639
of was a little bit more static because I had trouble turning because I didn't

102
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:06,720
have the angular weight support of the

103
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:10,759
belt to kind of keep me where I was supposed to go turning was difficult so

104
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:16,000
whenever I saw enemies I'd kind of just stand there and shoot Which is less fun

105
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:20,800
than it could be but then again you will have the belt that fits your size so I

106
00:07:17,479 --> 00:07:22,800
wouldn't worry too much about that um

107
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,639
the gun lonus brought up something it would be nice if there was a good reload

108
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:30,560
function but then I know on Kickstarter right now there's another gun called I

109
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,319
believe the Delta 6 sorry if I'm wrong uh where you can actually just take the

110
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,039
magazine out put the magazine back in and that acts as a Reload function so

111
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,639
while the gun we were using might not have been the exact perfect gun for that

112
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:46,440
situation that we were using they are out there and you can use any one you

113
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:52,199
want so I wouldn't worry too much about that um I almost fell a few times again

114
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,199
I wasn't wearing the belt I really don't think I would have fallen if I wore the

115
00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:02,800
belt I don't think it would have fallen anyways but I might have possibly damaged some of the arms sorry um

116
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,960
I beat it on my second try but like I said um lonus was kind of running around

117
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:14,039
a lot more than I was if I saw enemies I would sit static and shoot them um that

118
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:18,960
was crazy I I get nauseous sometimes when I drive in cars so I was a little

119
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:20,720
bit worried about this I kind of kind of

120
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,479
threw it away when they brought it up but I do actually get nauseous sometimes

121
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:28,479
in cars I get car sick so I was a little bit worried like I just said but I

122
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:33,240
didn't I didn't get car sick at all because and I think it helped that I had

123
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:37,680
the Omni because I was I did have the feeling that I was moving myself so

124
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:42,080
while people have trouble with oculus rift getting nauseous if you actually

125
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:45,600
feel like you're moving and you get the visual response of moving I don't

126
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:51,680
actually feel it that bad if I tilt my head to the left the screen tilts to the

127
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:54,000
left if I walk forward I walk forward so

128
00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:57,480
I don't know at least for myself I feel the Omni would help if you get nauseous

129
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:02,920
when using Oculus Rift and H honestly I think that's about

130
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:02,920
it
