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

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:12.120
great technology selection and service along with Corsair memory and Western

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:15.759
Digital hey guys we're at the huge massive glorious Sony Booth checking up

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.680
their head-mounted display and this really caught my eye because when I

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

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

00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:32.360
what it is uh this is our second generation of the head mounted viewer

00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:34.480
it's the hmz T 3w it's uh it replicates

00:00:32.360 --> 00:00:37.960
really an indoor theater but it just sits on your face uh what's different

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.719
about this one than its predecessor it's completely portable so when we were

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:45.399
talking earlier about gaming gaming is a truly immersive experience in this uh

00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:50.320
but so is watching a movie or what have you projects the equivalent of 150 in

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:54.160
movie screen from about 12 ft away so slipping this thing on when you're on

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.800
the airplane plugging in your audio uh the content source for the video whether

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

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.680
enjoy uh a truly immersive Movie experience so

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:08.880
essentially wherever you go if you have an HDMI plug you consume whatever media

00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:13.360
is are there essentially yeah here at the CES demonstrations we're doing uh we

00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:17.200
have it plugged into both PlayStation 4 uh and then tablets and mobile phones it

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

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:24.479
use a uh uh MHL to HDMI connection or if

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

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:32.880
two demos here one standing demo one sitting demo the standing demo you were

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:36.240
just consuming content of a movie and that was really interesting because like

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

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:45.119
can consume media media very easily and very well it's it's I was surprised

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:49.280
because when I tried out the Oculus I know sorry um the the the picture

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

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:57.119
pixels on this one it was it was different I could see things very

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:01.000
clearly the display was really good now can you tell me more about the display

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:05.079
yeah the displays are twoo OLED panels uh and they're inches away from your eye

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:08.280
they're 720p panels uh Engineers tell me that the reason they're not 1080p is

00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:13.480
that it' be a wasted resolution since those panels are so close to your eyes

00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:16.160
uh so uh twin OLED panels uh inches away

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:20.360
with your nose in between uh it does great 3D so when this this product first

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

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

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

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:36.440
playing the game it's it's you weren't necessarily controlling the car I know

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

00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.200
it was cool because the car was ripping down the racetrack and you could look

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:48.560
around as if you were the guy in the in the vehicle so looking around checking

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:51.680
everything out and with that crisp of a display like it's it's interesting

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

00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.280
completely different experience Oculus you can see the pixel grid like I said

00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:02.800
earlier on this one you cannot so it's definitely awesome and I definitely

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

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

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

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.959
opinion if you're looking for an extremely immersive VR experience you

00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.959
should probably be going with an Oculus if you're looking for a really high-end

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:26.239
media consumption device say if you're using a lot of public transit or

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:30.840
something like that this is a really good idea it's really nice for movies

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:35.000
the picture quality is amazing amazing um but it does have a price tag as well

00:03:33.239 --> 00:03:38.640
it's looking around $1,000 plus depending on where you live um I know a

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

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.640
end of the conversion rate and stuff like that but it is a really high-end

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:52.200
device OLED displays 720p that close to your face looks great etc etc thank you

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

00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:58.599
content I would navigate to the channel and view everything before this because

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

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:08.560
releasing for 2014 as a whole I would subscribe to lonus Tech tips and thank

00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:11.519
you to our sponsors title sponsor NC WD

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.519
