WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.120 this video is brought to you by the Corsair Vengeance k70 and k95 these 00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:11.400 fully mechanical keyboards are designed for performance gaming visit Corsair.com 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:14.759 vengance gaming to learn more so this 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:17.560 video will be a bit of a a bit of a Blog 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 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 00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:34.480 get kitted up with the appropriate Footwear so um I I was very disappointed 00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:39.440 when I didn't get to wear the the moccasins that the unit was demoed with 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:43.520 but I got some stylish Converse shoes which I don't think I've seen anything 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.879 like in at least 10 years um at least not on people's 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 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 00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:00.239 you're once you're in the shoes uh getting into the getting into the device 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 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.520 to be really careful support yourself on the ring because if you don't then you 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:12.000 might accidentally give a heart attack to the uh to the creator of the Omni 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 00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:17.560 God my my heart 00:01:17.720 --> 00:01:22.840 stopped that was a good one I'm sorry 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.400 could you hand me the pen please yeah sure 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 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 00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:42.159 really small steps now this is before the connect is involved this is before 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.280 you put any kind of other VR device on 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 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:53.560 it pretty quickly it was quoted that you need about 10 to 15 minutes before you 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 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 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:06.399 compared to when I first got on but the the slipperiness of part of your feet 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:10.920 and the and the grippiness of part of them doesn't feel quite right unless 00:02:08.679 --> 00:02:13.560 unless you're you're moving or you're standing but not really anywhere in 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 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:23.120 one thing that I noticed immediately is that I wanted a little bit more grip on 00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:26.680 the toes but it looks like it may be possible to find tune that with 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 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 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.720 I mean the the Design's totally not final and hopefully it'll be something 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 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:47.519 one thick you know that holds you up but 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.280 it's important to have the belt tight because what you'll find what I found 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 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.159 weight on the ring as I moved myself forward whereas I think once with a 00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.280 little bit more practice I could avoid putting so much weight on it and I 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:05.560 wouldn't need need the belt nearly as much actually slick will be going 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 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.680 that um The Connect judges how fast you move 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:17.720 by how quickly your legs travel so you could cheat the system by just kind of 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.239 taking your feet and going like this in all likelihood but that's not really the 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:25.440 point I mean I see this as not only a device that makes the game more 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.840 immersive but I see it as also a way to 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 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 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:37.959 able to take much bigger steps and and 00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:43.760 move at a much faster Pace without without just kind of gaming it um so 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.599 then next up is you put on the Oculus so 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 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:52.319 the Oculus and then you want to calibrate the connect so make sure it's 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 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 00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:09.799 where this is really going to come to life is when the gun aiming is decoupled 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:13.000 from looking is decoupled from moving because right now I was able to do it I 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 00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:21.720 you could actually Walk In One Direction and look like this to go around corners 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:26.560 but what I want is to be able to walk around a 00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:28.680 corner but moving my body around so with 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:32.560 like a wireless Oculus this will be a very immersive experience 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 00:04:35.080 --> 00:04:41.240 in the room once I actually took the Oculus off because of how immersed in 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 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 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 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 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 00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:07.560 virtual reality since a random like low reses crappy game at plaum and let me 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 00:05:09.440 --> 00:05:14.800 there and like looked and it was like a shooting range it was like ski shooting 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:18.479 but this is totally different now we're playing an actual triaa title where 00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:21.479 instead of being impressed by halflife 2's ragd doll physics we're impressed by 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:27.919 the ability that we get to walk around in this game environment shooting things 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:30.919 and it's just totally totally totally 00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:33.440 totally different 00:05:30.919 --> 00:05:37.840 um I think that's pretty much it for me so slicks up 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 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:48.479 because I had to use shoes that were much smaller than my size will they kind 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 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:57.880 curled up inside it was a really tight fit that wasn't comfortable and then the 00:05:55.440 --> 00:06:02.639 waistband while they will have different sizes the one here is the right size for 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 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:11.199 was not using the waistband in a situation where I would ideally be 00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:14.199 running so all that put aside it was 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.199 freaking amazing um stepping into it I 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 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 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:31.440 um taking your first few steps is kind 00:06:29.400 --> 00:06:35.440 of surreal especially especially because that was the first time that I had ever 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:39.160 worn Oculus Rift so walking around in it is interesting when you can see 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 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 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 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 00:06:57.280 --> 00:07:04.639 of was a little bit more static because I had trouble turning because I didn't 00:07:01.599 --> 00:07:06.720 have the angular weight support of the 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:10.759 belt to kind of keep me where I was supposed to go turning was difficult so 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 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 00:07:17.479 --> 00:07:22.800 wouldn't worry too much about that um 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.639 the gun lonus brought up something it would be nice if there was a good reload 00:07:24.520 --> 00:07:30.560 function but then I know on Kickstarter right now there's another gun called I 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 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:37.039 magazine out put the magazine back in and that acts as a Reload function so 00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:41.639 while the gun we were using might not have been the exact perfect gun for that 00:07:39.919 --> 00:07:46.440 situation that we were using they are out there and you can use any one you 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:20.720 bit worried about this I kind of kind of 00:08:18.960 --> 00:08:24.479 threw it away when they brought it up but I do actually get nauseous sometimes 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 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 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:37.680 the Omni because I was I did have the feeling that I was moving myself so 00:08:35.640 --> 00:08:42.080 while people have trouble with oculus rift getting nauseous if you actually 00:08:40.479 --> 00:08:45.600 feel like you're moving and you get the visual response of moving I don't 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 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:54.000 left if I walk forward I walk forward so 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 00:08:55.920 --> 00:09:02.920 when using Oculus Rift and H honestly I think that's about 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.920 it
