1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
i know kung fu

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,800
oh crap go ahead and cut in spite of all

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:14,240
the progress in vr over the last 10 years there's still one fatal flaw

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,560
breaking the immersion no matter what i do even with the knuckles controllers

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:23,840
where i can open my hands entirely i am always acutely aware that i'm just a guy

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:28,000
in my living room in my underwear waving around plastic phalluses now there are

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,359
companies out there that make finger tracking glove style controllers but

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:36,399
they cost anywhere from hundreds to literally thousands of dollars to

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,800
purchase but one man has risen

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,320
not high mind you and said that's too much

11
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:48,399
and he has made a product that you can make for yourself for just sixty dollars

12
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:53,360
sixty dollars really yeah and that's a thumbs up yes i get it that's good you

13
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:56,719
know what else is good our sponsor build redux build redux offers competitive

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,399
pricing compared to building a pc yourself their website makes it easy to

15
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:04,720
configure your build alongside their helpful support guides head to

16
00:01:02,199 --> 00:01:09,920
buildredux.com Linus and start creating your pc today with me today i have two

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,720
exciting things the lucid glove prototype 4 which does things i have

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:20,159
just never seen before it offers hand presence in vr through the use of a

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,280
bolted on vive tracker or oculus quest 2

20
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:24,240
controller and it actually offers not

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:31,040
only finger awareness but through the use of

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,479
servos tied to strings it offers you the

23
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,799
ability to grasp items in vr and feel

24
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:43,280
force feedback on your individual fingers the other thing i have is its

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,159
creator lucas hello lucas talk to me

26
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:50,960
start with why is it for sex things it's it's uh primarily right now for games

27
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:55,840
for vr games sex games for fun games are sex games fun

28
00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:01,280
why do we want hands in vr well so a big part of being able to

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,640
interact with objects and games is being able to go and actually grasp them

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,599
but so when you're actually holding a controller in your hand you're just grasping the same shape every single

31
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,040
time on this controller but so now what you can do is use your hands as if there

32
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,840
was nothing in them and then actually be able to pick things up and interact with them now you've clearly gone through

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,720
multiple revisions to get to the stage you're at today do you want to talk us

34
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,480
through it a little bit before we get into the crazy demo we're about to do

35
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,080
yeah yeah so this is pretty rough it didn't really survive

36
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,560
the shipping this was prototype one this was uh the one that went viral on tick

37
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:36,080
tock and it broke a lot but it worked well enough at the time to get you know

38
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:42,000
kind of the information that i needed to make them better you've gone from

39
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:45,599
sort of a parallel aligned spool to a

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
perpendicular aligned spool you've got

41
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:52,800
what's clearly a much more robust system for wire management or line management

42
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,800
what else have you learned so moving on to prototype 2 namely this is the first

43
00:02:54,879 --> 00:03:00,800
one that didn't catch on fire but on top of that

44
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,280
this one was much better at actually you know like fitting on your hand and

45
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:08,080
staying there and this is the first time i actually had it working inside of steamvr games prototype 3. this is when

46
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:11,040
i started messing around with adding wireless capabilities to it

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,599
getting the finger tracking really consistent and getting it a lot more comfortable and prototype 4 yeah so this

48
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,319
is the one that added haptic support as well as much better mounting for

49
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:24,319
everything like the controller so that it stays all in one piece yeah and it's

50
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:27,840
still wireless i'm assuming the battery is in here uh no so the battery is

51
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,239
external and we're going to be using this to power it for now

52
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,799
so what is in here so in there that is actually all of the wiring

53
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,480
in order to get this board um to connect to all of the rest of it um a lot of it

54
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:45,440
could be done without it but i did it this way so it's easier to switch out parts and test things got it and this is

55
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:48,000
the emergency stop button i suppose that is the calibration button that we're

56
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,000
going to use to make it so that it actually matches your hand is it okay that i just press that yeah you're fine

57
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:58,000
i like big red buttons let's go try it wow lucas this feels

58
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,560
just like a plan i could swear i'm holding an apple

59
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,680
and if you told me that this was an actual genuine alpaca blend pillow from

60
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,799
ltteststore.com i'd believe you all right so we are going to hook you up

61
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:15,920
here and we're just going to test all the motors on your fingers so you should feel

62
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:21,440
resistance oh why definitely okay great great and then that's off okay

63
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,880
oh yeah okay that's definitely on you know what it feels like it feels

64
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,520
like the opposite of like have you ever had someone like like push on your your

65
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:32,479
tendons and close your hand it feels like the opposite of that like it's

66
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:38,320
holding it's holding my fingers open you know yeah okay but i can't move them at all

67
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:44,639
right now that's cool because that's that means there's a big thing in your hand got it so i'm holding like a big

68
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,600
choose your words carefully um grapefruit basketball cantaloupe yeah

69
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:53,440
cantaloupe i'm holding a big cantaloupe

70
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:57,600
Yvonne if you're watching it was definitely a cantaloupe all right now

71
00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:03,120
let's put it into bluetooth mode and we will hook it up on the computer

72
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:06,960
okay okay so are you in vr i am in vr what do you see on your left hand vr

73
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,720
d you don't see it left oh no i don't okay so we're gonna turn on the vive

74
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,680
tracker oh oh whoa hey it started a little

75
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:17,600
whoa there's one not working

76
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,560
that's really really unfortunate you guys

77
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:25,120
hey there it is now this has just opened and closed

78
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,320
that's it there's touch sensors on the controller but this

79
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:35,360
that is so crazy okay what's next okay

80
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:39,440
and now uh try to grab a cue and see how

81
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:41,919
it feels a cube or anything crap

82
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:46,479
geez okay so as i get into range the servos

83
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,800
kick in yep that's to prevent latency in actually

84
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:56,960
grabbing it okay

85
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:58,720
jeez are you okay yeah i'm fine it just

86
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:03,440
tripped me out a little bit like i finally managed to pick it up and it

87
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,280
just like oh it like whoa

88
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,840
okay where are you oh

89
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:17,440
i have your balls in my hands

90
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,720
what is your plan i really want to do anything i can do to make these gloves

91
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,000
as accessible as possible right now the best way i can do that is

92
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,240
by open sourcing the project and having people build it themselves but at some

93
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:31,759
point if there's a way that i can make the gloves accessible to people who

94
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,639
don't have a 3d printer or can't build their own gloves then i really you know

95
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,800
at some point definitely want to go down that road so you'd say you're

96
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:42,479
weeks away from final product shipping oh yeah this one might only work for

97
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:47,759
like five seconds because it's not as built oh yeah but it'll be the best five

98
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:52,000
seconds of Linus's life i do it was a sex thing

99
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:56,880
whoa are you getting this brandon that's freaking awesome

100
00:06:54,639 --> 00:07:00,720
okay the left one's a little um yeah it's doing stuff but the right

101
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,479
one is like whoa

102
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:09,680
look at that can you see this

103
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,680
that's crazy

104
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,639
that okay that's cool oh

105
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,960
it's thin okay

106
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:29,199
that is next level so do you have a plan

107
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:33,520
to debulkify it a bit yeah that's actually my next prototype um my

108
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,360
prototype five i'm planning on shrinking it as much as i can maybe moving some

109
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,840
stuff up the ARM and also trying to make it as durable and reliable as i can oh

110
00:07:39,599 --> 00:07:44,800
cool what

111
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,759
i can get to get over here i get to get

112
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:55,080
oh that's so cool i can turn dials

113
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,919
this thing is absolutely

114
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:03,360
nutty i am very looking forward to seeing the next prototype which is

115
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,039
apparently going to be smaller more durable and you were saying people in

116
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,120
the community have even built ones that are like better than yours totally i

117
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:14,479
mean people have taken this kind of reference design yeah and

118
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:19,520
modeled their own versions off of it that is absolutely incredible and you're

119
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:24,479
still in school i guess yeah man what was i doing at your age

120
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:28,319
a lot of counter-strike source i'm not even good at it what i am good
