1 00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:03,503 - I'm a little confused about the name. Is it like Nreal? 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,310 Are you just trying to say real with N in front of like Nreal? 3 00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:13,090 Or are you trying to say en real or is it like unreal and they took the U off 4 00:00:13,090 --> 00:00:19,130 and so Epic Games was justified in like suing them for using a name that's very similar to Unreal Engine? 5 00:00:19,130 --> 00:00:20,233 Mark any thoughts? 6 00:00:22,198 --> 00:00:26,770 (beep) I can't even believe that it's here, which is actually a fair thing to say because 7 00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:32,240 I've been kinda following these things since they just got announced in 2019 I think. 8 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,760 I think I did a segment on CES about the dev kit. 9 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,120 Cut to the segment. The Nreal Light glasses have 10 ADP laser projectors 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,030 that display images at 60 FPS with a 52-degree field of view. 11 00:00:44,030 --> 00:00:50,550 But this is not the dev kit, okay? This is exciting. I'm excited because this is the Nreal Light. 12 00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:56,150 People in Asia have had access to this for a long time. But now it's finally rolling out. 13 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:58,880 I'm teasing you. See, I'm taking it halfway as I'm talking. 14 00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:03,350 Now it's finally rolling out and I think the US, Canada and Europe, 15 00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:07,500 I think it rolled out in November. The Nreal Light is here. 16 00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,600 They've already announced the Nreal Air, which is a more advanced version. 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,870 And that's only rolling out in like Germany, Japan, South Korea, 18 00:01:15,870 --> 00:01:19,070 another place? So we're not getting that yet, but we're getting the light. 19 00:01:19,070 --> 00:01:23,930 And this is a way to unbox. Hey, should other people do this? - [Mark] Hurry up. - I kind of like this. 20 00:01:23,930 --> 00:01:26,703 And there it is. Okay. 21 00:01:27,980 --> 00:01:30,290 But look at that box. That's kinda nice, hey. 22 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,520 They put a tiny bra in here for some reason, scandalous. 23 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,550 It's one of the many nose pieces. So I can try that out. 24 00:01:39,550 --> 00:01:42,573 Are you up for some nose piece try-ons later? 25 00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:48,030 - [Mark] Yes. - I'm the worst unboxer. 26 00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:51,170 Why do they keep letting me do this? How are you supposed to... 27 00:01:51,170 --> 00:01:55,563 What? So this is not how... Oh, it just pops out. 28 00:01:56,450 --> 00:02:01,500 I guess these are maybe like the frame for like prescription lenses that you can have 29 00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,330 instead of putting the glasses on top of your existing glasses which is what I'm gonna do? 30 00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:10,380 We'll see how that goes. So it's nice to see, I mean, right off the bat that like, 31 00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:14,060 you know, it's not just like a thing and they just give it to you and it's like, if it fits, it fits. 32 00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:18,080 There are going to be some options for customization it looks like. 33 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,200 Okay, is there a cable? Do you need to keep this connected to your phone 34 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,720 all the time? Oh no. I mean, that's fine. 35 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,720 It's early days. Okay. Here are the glasses themselves, Nreal Light. 36 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,193 I mean, from a certain angle, you could maybe be like, 37 00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:38,850 oh, there's just a pair of sunglasses on the table over there. Oh, what? 38 00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:41,900 They're a portal to another world? 39 00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:46,070 This is interesting. This is the default position. And then there's like flex to it 40 00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:52,030 'cause they hook around your head a little bit more than normal sunglasses. 41 00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:56,330 Yeah. It's a little bulky. I mean, this is a little more streamlined 42 00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:59,613 than I remember them being when I took a look at CES. 43 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,900 But it still is like, I dunno, it's pretty bulky. 44 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:08,310 I'm kind of scared to put them on. And this is interesting. Here's like the glass. 45 00:03:08,310 --> 00:03:12,230 And normally when you put on a pair of sunglasses, you have, this is your field of view, right? 46 00:03:12,230 --> 00:03:18,260 You can see the whole thing. But on the light, the machinery, 47 00:03:18,260 --> 00:03:21,430 the electronics obscures half the lens. 48 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:25,600 So when I put them on, I'm only gonna see, 49 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,663 oh no, I can't do this with my glasses. 50 00:03:29,089 --> 00:03:33,010 I'm gonna have to take my glasses off. It's touching my eyelashes. 51 00:03:33,010 --> 00:03:35,360 Oh, it's 'cause I don't have the nose piece on. 52 00:03:36,940 --> 00:03:39,423 Oh dear. That's not good. 53 00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:44,900 I mean, if I kind of like put it up. 54 00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:49,500 So yeah, this is interesting. I mean, with the HoloLens too, it also has that issue where 55 00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:52,530 it looks like you have this big field of view and then you put it on 56 00:03:52,530 --> 00:03:57,940 and you only have like a little square. I haven't turned it on yet. So I don't know how much is actually happening, 57 00:03:57,940 --> 00:04:01,800 but we're gonna find out I guess. Quick overview of the outside. 58 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,090 Got a number of cameras on the outside. So one over here and one over here 59 00:04:05,090 --> 00:04:08,800 and then one in the middle. I think these might be for like recording 60 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,653 or this one might be for recording and this one is for like the actual experiences. 61 00:04:13,510 --> 00:04:18,210 We got maybe some sort of rocker here. 62 00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:21,960 That might be volume although there's no speakers integrated. 63 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:28,110 Oh no, yes there are, there are integrated speakers. So this might be volume, some sort of sensor here that I've 64 00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:32,160 already greased up with my forehead. 'Cause you wanna be lubricated 65 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,053 when you slide into the metaverse. 66 00:04:36,751 --> 00:04:40,160 It's like Tim Allen in the Santa Claus when he goes down the chimneys that are too small. 67 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,713 You've seen that movie? - [Mark] Yep. - Okay, good. 68 00:04:45,430 --> 00:04:51,210 There's a hook over here. That is for something. Maybe you put the cord there. Oh. 69 00:04:51,210 --> 00:04:57,120 So is that how you keep it on your face? You put it on your face and then you take the cord 70 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,350 and now it's not going anywhere. Okay. Wow. I've never had my concerns with the product 71 00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:10,980 addressed so quickly. Now that's customer support. So what I'm supposed to do is plug this in to this phone 72 00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:15,570 that they've graciously provided that has all the apps available on it. 73 00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:20,900 They do have like a list of compatible phones on their website. So, if you are thinking about checking this out, 74 00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:25,490 make sure your phone is compatible first of all. I'm supposed to plug this in 75 00:05:25,490 --> 00:05:28,823 and then we'll get things really going. But before we do that, 76 00:05:32,620 --> 00:05:36,697 I gotta tell you about our sponsor.

It's happening. 87 00:06:20,370 --> 00:06:25,180 I can't read that because I have to wear my glasses. 88 00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:29,430 That's not bad. That looks pretty good actually. I gotta say though right off the bat, 89 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:34,500 the field of view, I don't know what the horizontal limits of it are, 90 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:39,500 but it's taking up the entire field of view that I have, 91 00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:43,540 which is about like your whole body Mark. 92 00:06:43,540 --> 00:06:48,230 Oh, that is brightness control. So that rocker on the right, it's brightness control. 93 00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:53,230 My laptop has Windows Hello on it and it unlocked from this. 94 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,580 It could recognize me. Turns out there is a screen recording limit of 30 seconds. 95 00:06:59,580 --> 00:07:05,930 So I won't be able to record the whole thing and show you guys, but I will give you snippets. 96 00:07:05,930 --> 00:07:09,430 Are you ready? So like, things don't look too bad. 97 00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:14,260 I mean, like, you know, this is probably like one of the sharper VR screens I've seen. 98 00:07:14,260 --> 00:07:20,440 So it seems like there are a couple of different experiences here. Right now I'm on like the MR or mixed reality space 99 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,840 where you have access to like apps that you can open. 100 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,950 Like I can open the photos app and then you can reposition Windows. 101 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:32,620 So I can move this over all the way to where Mark is 102 00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:37,070 and make the app inside his mind. Do you see all the photos now Mark? 103 00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:42,740 This is so weird. The screen is drifting. 104 00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:46,460 Like it it's like confused by the surroundings and so it like, 105 00:07:46,460 --> 00:07:50,470 it gets confused about what to do with the screen and it's like, tilts of like drifts away. 106 00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:54,330 As I move my head around, I can still see the edge of the menu, 107 00:07:54,330 --> 00:08:00,140 but it's being occluded by, I guess where the field of view ends on this thing. 108 00:08:00,140 --> 00:08:05,640 So the other mode is air casting. So if I go over here to say, switch to air casting, 109 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,170 then I can mirror my phone's display 110 00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:12,430 on the Nreal Light display. 111 00:08:12,430 --> 00:08:16,280 So if I click that, it'll stop the screen recording. 112 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,653 So I don't know how I can show you guys that, but trust me, 113 00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:23,633 that's what you see. 114 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,010 It's like the phone. What is the use case for this? 115 00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:34,150 Like I understand HoloLens, you know, because it's like hooked into the Microsoft ecosystem and you're like, 116 00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:37,350 hey, send this person a message on Teams and it comes up 117 00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:42,040 and it's like all into the ecosystem. But like, I dunno what, we've got some games over here 118 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,010 that we're gonna try out in a second. We've got regular apps like Twitter, 119 00:08:46,010 --> 00:08:51,680 I guess let's open Twitter and see what's up. So I'm going to open Twitter. 120 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:55,900 I'm gonna reposition the window to the point where I can see most of it. 121 00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:59,700 And this is not the app. 122 00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:03,390 I opened the Twitter icon and it's switched to the app. 123 00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:07,790 We don't, enter theater mode. I'm so confused. 124 00:09:07,790 --> 00:09:14,210 So it looks like all these apps over here on the left side are basically just, they'll open up like Windows. 125 00:09:14,210 --> 00:09:18,473 So you can use like, it's like using a desktop app. 126 00:09:19,690 --> 00:09:22,730 Yeah. So I opened up YouTube and here's the YouTube homepage. 127 00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:25,900 I can scroll with my phone screen. It's like I'm using a tablet I guess. 128 00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:31,430 And I have like, my phone is the cursor. I don't understand why you would ever do this. 129 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:36,380 Okay. We got Spatial here. So that is an app that I know works on other VR 130 00:09:36,380 --> 00:09:40,230 and AR ecosystems as well. I'm not sure if it's on HoloLens. I think it is. 131 00:09:40,230 --> 00:09:43,270 But it definitely works on Oculus and other VR headsets. 132 00:09:43,270 --> 00:09:46,113 Oh, there's like a little animated thing going on. 133 00:09:47,070 --> 00:09:50,343 And it turned into a real person. Are you from BTS? 134 00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:56,720 I wish you could see this right now. People are dancing on the flat surface of the table 135 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,963 that is extended halfway to the camera as well. 136 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,480 Do I need to be here for this? They're just dancing. And now people are fighting. 137 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,280 There's a little elf fighting a big tiger guy. 138 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,820 And they're both wearing like samurai futuristic armor and they're using energy swords. 139 00:10:15,820 --> 00:10:18,323 And we won that round. 140 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,110 I will say that if you've played VR or, I mean, I guess if you've played, 141 00:10:24,110 --> 00:10:30,233 I haven't really tried HoloLens to any significant extent. I did try, you know, a demo of these at CES as I said. 142 00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:34,460 If you played any sort of VR games or sort of like AR games on your phone, 143 00:10:34,460 --> 00:10:37,630 it's very similar except it's like having the phone here 144 00:10:37,630 --> 00:10:42,270 because like the field of view that I'm actually seeing is around this big. 145 00:10:42,270 --> 00:10:45,290 So it's like having a phone right here, 146 00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:48,930 but I will say that their Nebula interface 147 00:10:48,930 --> 00:10:53,370 which I will record here to illustrate, I will say that their Nebula interface here 148 00:10:53,370 --> 00:10:57,750 where you can kind of like open up apps and reposition Windows, you can make it 149 00:10:57,750 --> 00:11:05,580 so that it's a pretty big screen you're looking at. Like, this is like looking at probably like a 70-inch TV 150 00:11:06,020 --> 00:11:10,550 right in front of me. And it looks pretty sharp. Like I gotta say, that's pretty impressive. 151 00:11:11,394 --> 00:11:14,910 So like looking over here, I moved the screens over here. As you can see, 152 00:11:14,910 --> 00:11:18,890 it looks way better on like a blank wall instead of a, 153 00:11:18,890 --> 00:11:22,490 you know, and I can get rid of the home screen. Instead of like looking at 154 00:11:22,490 --> 00:11:25,143 the cameras and Mark in the background. No offense Mark. 155 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:29,970 So if I play a video here, - Finally in which means... 156 00:11:29,970 --> 00:11:35,373 - Wow. - They're ripping down the walls, they're wiring up the networking. 157 00:11:36,250 --> 00:11:40,460 - The video looks pretty sharp. So like, it's supposed to be a 10 ADP. 158 00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:43,960 I'll turn the volume down now 'cause that's too loud. Okay. So like that's great news. 159 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,973 The speakers can get kind of loud. 160 00:11:48,130 --> 00:11:52,670 They sound like cheap phone speakers. Like what are you gonna do? But, I'm actually quite impressed 161 00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:56,763 by how sharp this video looks. Okay. You know what, Mark? 162 00:11:59,299 --> 00:12:03,730 This is a decent use case. Like maybe you put these on and you're watching a video 163 00:12:03,730 --> 00:12:10,120 and you got headphones plugged in and it's like watching it on a giant screen. 164 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,130 There's the test. I don't know if this'll show up on the video or not. 165 00:12:13,130 --> 00:12:17,390 But if you watch movies like this, huge, huge, negative. 166 00:12:17,390 --> 00:12:23,070 But like, if you manage to put your head in a vice and remain completely still, baby shark. 167 00:12:23,070 --> 00:12:26,660 I was able to play the games a little bit and they're like, you know, it's like a little VR game. 168 00:12:26,660 --> 00:12:30,540 You know, if you like playing like the fun little VR demo games, 169 00:12:30,540 --> 00:12:36,000 that's basically what they have so far. There are more apps and games that are available 170 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,790 on the play store from what I understand. This thing's 5 99, 171 00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:44,790 which is not horrible for like early-ish AR hardware. 172 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,600 For consumers, if you are like not super in 173 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,630 to like the technical side of augmented reality and virtual reality and you're like, 174 00:12:54,630 --> 00:12:56,723 oh, I want a fun device. 175 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,230 No, do not. They're kind of marketing it like that, which is, I feel like a mistake. 176 00:13:02,230 --> 00:13:06,230 Now this is for people who are like tinker and they're really interested in augmented reality 177 00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:10,950 and they kind of wanna like play around and experience the jank for themselves. 178 00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:14,360 They've already developed the Nreal Air, 179 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,800 which is a more advanced device. I'm interested in taking a look at the Nreal Air 180 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,110 when it comes out. It's out like I said, in like Germany and Japan 181 00:13:22,110 --> 00:13:26,840 and stuff right now. It'll probably roll out in North America like this one did 182 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,350 a year later. I don't know. But it's good to see multiple companies 183 00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:38,610 working on augmented reality solutions. I just wish that, you know, I didn't have to review them 184 00:13:38,780 --> 00:13:42,380 until they're ready to party. 185 00:13:42,380 --> 00:13:48,790 This is cool. It's fun. I don't wanna complain, but also catch me with the air. 186 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:54,013 See you next time. And see you next time on the next episode of ShortCircuit. 187 00:13:54,910 --> 00:13:59,290 That's what this video is. It's a channel. Subscribe if you want more of this, 188 00:13:59,290 --> 00:14:02,390 but also more importantly subscribe 189 00:14:02,390 --> 00:14:07,300 to their movie podcast and also to the Tekla, okay? 190 00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:12,090 Don't tell John I told you that. You cannot use this product. You are too greasy. 191 00:14:13,570 --> 00:14:19,760 I wish I could see what just happened, but I'm in the metaverse. ♪ Oh why don't you please tag me ♪ 192 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,477 How do I look when I do this?
