Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2014 is brought to you by nc.com your source for

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:12,120
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:15,759
Digital hey guys we're at the huge massive glorious Sony Booth checking up

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,680
their head-mounted display and this really caught my eye because when I

5
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:23,760
first saw it I actually thought it had something to do with oculus but it's not really like Oculus so what's the main

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,840
differences uh I can't tell I can't speak for what it's not I can speak to

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:32,360
what it is uh this is our second generation of the head mounted viewer

8
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:34,480
it's the hmz T 3w it's uh it replicates

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,960
really an indoor theater but it just sits on your face uh what's different

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:41,719
about this one than its predecessor it's completely portable so when we were

11
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:45,399
talking earlier about gaming gaming is a truly immersive experience in this uh

12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,320
but so is watching a movie or what have you projects the equivalent of 150 in

13
00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:54,160
movie screen from about 12 ft away so slipping this thing on when you're on

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,800
the airplane plugging in your audio uh the content source for the video whether

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,680
it be from your tablet your phone PC or what have you sit back on the plane and

16
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,680
enjoy uh a truly immersive Movie experience so

17
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:08,880
essentially wherever you go if you have an HDMI plug you consume whatever media

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:13,360
is are there essentially yeah here at the CES demonstrations we're doing uh we

19
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:17,200
have it plugged into both PlayStation 4 uh and then tablets and mobile phones it

20
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:23,000
takes an HDMI in so if you're coming from a tablet or what have you I might

21
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,479
use a uh uh MHL to HDMI connection or if

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,360
you're coming from Ser your cable box at home HDMI to HDMI perfect now they have

23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,880
two demos here one standing demo one sitting demo the standing demo you were

24
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,240
just consuming content of a movie and that was really interesting because like

25
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:41,479
you said on the plane in a car ride if you're in the back seat hopefully not the front seat uh wherever you are you

26
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:45,119
can consume media media very easily and very well it's it's I was surprised

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,280
because when I tried out the Oculus I know sorry um the the the picture

28
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,920
quality is not quite there yet I know they're not released and all that kind of stuff but you can definitely see the

29
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:57,119
pixels on this one it was it was different I could see things very

30
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,000
clearly the display was really good now can you tell me more about the display

31
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:05,079
yeah the displays are twoo OLED panels uh and they're inches away from your eye

32
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:08,280
they're 720p panels uh Engineers tell me that the reason they're not 1080p is

33
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:13,480
that it' be a wasted resolution since those panels are so close to your eyes

34
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:16,160
uh so uh twin OLED panels uh inches away

35
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,360
with your nose in between uh it does great 3D so when this this product first

36
00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:25,319
came out in the US we called it the uh 3D viewer uh people thought well I don't

37
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,160
want to watch 3D you don't have to so now we name it the headmount display

38
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:33,319
that was probably pretty smart because when I first said 3D viewr that's EX exactly what I thought it was when I was

39
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,440
playing the game it's it's you weren't necessarily controlling the car I know

40
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,200
that's not necessarily a thing yet but may possibly be in the future uh but it

41
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:44,200
it was cool because the car was ripping down the racetrack and you could look

42
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,560
around as if you were the guy in the in the vehicle so looking around checking

43
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:51,680
everything out and with that crisp of a display like it's it's interesting

44
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,920
because Oculus the one I've tried is also 720p and this is 72 120p but it's a

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,280
completely different experience Oculus you can see the pixel grid like I said

46
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,800
earlier on this one you cannot so it's definitely awesome and I definitely

47
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:08,360
recommend trying it out so the convention closed while we were trying to finish our Sony head mounted display

48
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:11,680
video so we returned to Canada I retired the suit and now we're finishing it up

49
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,159
uh for those of you that are looking for an Oculus this is not an Oculus in my

50
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,959
opinion if you're looking for an extremely immersive VR experience you

51
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:22,959
should probably be going with an Oculus if you're looking for a really high-end

52
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,239
media consumption device say if you're using a lot of public transit or

53
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:30,840
something like that this is a really good idea it's really nice for movies

54
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:35,000
the picture quality is amazing amazing um but it does have a price tag as well

55
00:03:33,239 --> 00:03:38,640
it's looking around $1,000 plus depending on where you live um I know a

56
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,400
few of you Europeans are not going to be exactly happy with the price tag at the

57
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:46,640
end of the conversion rate and stuff like that but it is a really high-end

58
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:52,200
device OLED displays 720p that close to your face looks great etc etc thank you

59
00:03:49,799 --> 00:03:55,640
for watching our CES 2014 content if you want to see the rest of our CES 2014

60
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,599
content I would navigate to the channel and view everything before this because

61
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,840
I think this is going to be the last video if you want to see all the rest of our content that we're going to be

62
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,560
releasing for 2014 as a whole I would subscribe to lonus Tech tips and thank

63
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:11,519
you to our sponsors title sponsor NC WD

64
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,519
