00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.040
i know kung fu

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:08.800
oh crap go ahead and cut in spite of all

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:14.240
the progress in vr over the last 10 years there's still one fatal flaw

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.560
breaking the immersion no matter what i do even with the knuckles controllers

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

00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.000
in my living room in my underwear waving around plastic phalluses now there are

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:31.359
companies out there that make finger tracking glove style controllers but

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:36.399
they cost anywhere from hundreds to literally thousands of dollars to

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:38.800
purchase but one man has risen

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:42.320
not high mind you and said that's too much

00:00:40.239 --> 00:00:48.399
and he has made a product that you can make for yourself for just sixty dollars

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

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:56.719
know what else is good our sponsor build redux build redux offers competitive

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:00.399
pricing compared to building a pc yourself their website makes it easy to

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.720
configure your build alongside their helpful support guides head to

00:01:02.199 --> 00:01:09.920
buildredux.com Linus and start creating your pc today with me today i have two

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:12.720
exciting things the lucid glove prototype 4 which does things i have

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:20.159
just never seen before it offers hand presence in vr through the use of a

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:23.280
bolted on vive tracker or oculus quest 2

00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.240
controller and it actually offers not

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:31.040
only finger awareness but through the use of

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.479
servos tied to strings it offers you the

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:36.799
ability to grasp items in vr and feel

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:43.280
force feedback on your individual fingers the other thing i have is its

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:46.159
creator lucas hello lucas talk to me

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

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:55.840
for vr games sex games for fun games are sex games fun

00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:01.280
why do we want hands in vr well so a big part of being able to

00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.640
interact with objects and games is being able to go and actually grasp them

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:22.720 --> 00:02:28.080
yeah yeah so this is pretty rough it didn't really survive

00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:32.560
the shipping this was prototype one this was uh the one that went viral on tick

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

00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:42.000
kind of the information that i needed to make them better you've gone from

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:45.599
sort of a parallel aligned spool to a

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.000
perpendicular aligned spool you've got

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:52.800
what's clearly a much more robust system for wire management or line management

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:56.800
what else have you learned so moving on to prototype 2 namely this is the first

00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.800
one that didn't catch on fire but on top of that

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:03.280
this one was much better at actually you know like fitting on your hand and

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

00:03:06.959 --> 00:03:11.040
i started messing around with adding wireless capabilities to it

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

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:20.319
is the one that added haptic support as well as much better mounting for

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:24.319
everything like the controller so that it stays all in one piece yeah and it's

00:03:22.239 --> 00:03:27.840
still wireless i'm assuming the battery is in here uh no so the battery is

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.239
external and we're going to be using this to power it for now

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.799
so what is in here so in there that is actually all of the wiring

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

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

00:03:43.519 --> 00:03:48.000
the emergency stop button i suppose that is the calibration button that we're

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

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:58.000
i like big red buttons let's go try it wow lucas this feels

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:02.560
just like a plan i could swear i'm holding an apple

00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:07.680
and if you told me that this was an actual genuine alpaca blend pillow from

00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:10.799
ltteststore.com i'd believe you all right so we are going to hook you up

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

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:21.440
resistance oh why definitely okay great great and then that's off okay

00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:24.880
oh yeah okay that's definitely on you know what it feels like it feels

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.520
like the opposite of like have you ever had someone like like push on your your

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:32.479
tendons and close your hand it feels like the opposite of that like it's

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

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

00:04:42.880 --> 00:04:49.600
choose your words carefully um grapefruit basketball cantaloupe yeah

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:53.440
cantaloupe i'm holding a big cantaloupe

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.600
Yvonne if you're watching it was definitely a cantaloupe all right now

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:03.120
let's put it into bluetooth mode and we will hook it up on the computer

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

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

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:13.680
tracker oh oh whoa hey it started a little

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:17.600
whoa there's one not working

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:20.560
that's really really unfortunate you guys

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:25.120
hey there it is now this has just opened and closed

00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:30.320
that's it there's touch sensors on the controller but this

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:35.360
that is so crazy okay what's next okay

00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:39.440
and now uh try to grab a cue and see how

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:41.919
it feels a cube or anything crap

00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:46.479
geez okay so as i get into range the servos

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:50.800
kick in yep that's to prevent latency in actually

00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:56.960
grabbing it okay

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:58.720
jeez are you okay yeah i'm fine it just

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:03.440
tripped me out a little bit like i finally managed to pick it up and it

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:05.280
just like oh it like whoa

00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:07.840
okay where are you oh

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:17.440
i have your balls in my hands

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

00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:24.000
as accessible as possible right now the best way i can do that is

00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.240
by open sourcing the project and having people build it themselves but at some

00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:31.759
point if there's a way that i can make the gloves accessible to people who

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

00:06:33.520 --> 00:06:38.800
at some point definitely want to go down that road so you'd say you're

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.479
weeks away from final product shipping oh yeah this one might only work for

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

00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:52.000
seconds of Linus's life i do it was a sex thing

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:56.880
whoa are you getting this brandon that's freaking awesome

00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:00.720
okay the left one's a little um yeah it's doing stuff but the right

00:06:59.440 --> 00:07:04.479
one is like whoa

00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:09.680
look at that can you see this

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.680
that's crazy

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:18.639
that okay that's cool oh

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:20.960
it's thin okay

00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:29.199
that is next level so do you have a plan

00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:33.520
to debulkify it a bit yeah that's actually my next prototype um my

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:37.360
prototype five i'm planning on shrinking it as much as i can maybe moving some

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

00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:44.800
cool what

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:47.759
i can get to get over here i get to get

00:07:48.080 --> 00:07:55.080
oh that's so cool i can turn dials

00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:59.919
this thing is absolutely

00:07:56.960 --> 00:08:03.360
nutty i am very looking forward to seeing the next prototype which is

00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:07.039
apparently going to be smaller more durable and you were saying people in

00:08:05.280 --> 00:08:11.120
the community have even built ones that are like better than yours totally i

00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:14.479
mean people have taken this kind of reference design yeah and

00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:19.520
modeled their own versions off of it that is absolutely incredible and you're

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:24.479
still in school i guess yeah man what was i doing at your age

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
