00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:07.680
the Oculus touch controllers are finally here which means that the rift can

00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:13.120
finally and more properly compete with the HTC 5 what does this mean for the

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:18.880
rift and the virtual reality Community as a whole actually a lot this is a big

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.599
deal and you should be excited no matter which team you're on I'll explain why

00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:28.900
after we take a look at the controllers themselves and the rift's experience

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:37.680
with the new members of the family

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:43.239

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:52.480
off if you have any questions about the rift headset itself check out this video

00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:57.280
from about four months ago reviewing the rift without the touch controllers just

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.440
by itself not much has changed on the headset side of things other than well

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:06.760
the inclusion of the sensor that comes with the touch controllers but I'll talk

00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:09.080
about tracking and occlusion later on

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:13.880
for now controller ergonomics and the degree to which you can have hand

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.360
presence in VR the touch controllers just feel amazing in your hands you know

00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:23.079
when you put your hands down on a familiar keyboard and mouse setup your

00:01:20.759 --> 00:01:27.439
fingers and palm they just naturally form to them the fingers on your left

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:32.479
hand comfortably rest on W A and D because you're probably a gamer and your

00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:38.040
right thumb Finds Its comfortable back button for efficient web browsing it

00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:42.240
just it feels like home this is similar to the touch controller experience but

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:46.759
it's like that from the first time that you ever try them they're so naturally

00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:51.680
comfortable that I rarely even need to tell people the control bindings for

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:55.439
games even when games don't do it themselves they just play because the

00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:59.119
touch controllers feel like a natural extension of your hands the thumb stick

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:03.680
and buttons on the top of the controller feel solid the grip button on the side

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:08.280
of the controller is very light and feels great when you're actually trying

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:13.160
to hold something in the game because it fades away into the body of the

00:02:10.119 --> 00:02:15.480
controller just so well the trigger does

00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:21.000
leave a little to be desired in shooter games it could be described as squishy

00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:25.599
but in other games like say the unspoken where you're casting spells it feels

00:02:23.519 --> 00:02:30.800
great and overall I think they found a happy medium here considering other

00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:33.760
titles on the platform like well medium

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.400
which isn't combat focused at all I personally think that they found the

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.599
right balance wrapping up the physical Impressions the touch controllers are

00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:45.239
also very light which can be a good or bad thing depending on what experience

00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:49.680
you're in they've got this really cool magnetic release cover for the single

00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:55.080
ablea battery per controller which seems to last about 30 freaking hours which is

00:02:52.800 --> 00:03:01.840
more than any reasonable person could possibly need in one play session not a

00:02:57.440 --> 00:03:01.840
challenge by the way not a

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:09.920
Challenge and finally easily one of the most interesting features is the

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:14.519
capacitive touch that is seemingly everywhere that your hand will actually

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:18.360
be even the thumb stick this makes it so that the controller not only knows how

00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:23.519
far down you're pulling the trigger but whether or not your hand is on it at all

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:27.959
or any other part of the controller for that matter which makes it so that you

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:33.799
can do more complex hand gestur like pointing waving thumbs up up or even the

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:35.799
crowd favorite giving someone the finger

00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:40.560
this is more important than it seems at first as it deepens your immersion in VR

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:45.760
makes you feel more connected to your character which matters a lot now don't

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:50.280
get me wrong here the vi wands were great and they came out like eight

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:55.239
months before the touch controllers this gave Vive users the greater part of a

00:03:52.640 --> 00:04:01.239
year to enjoy hand presence in VR before Oculus even showed up to the damn party

00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:05.040
but now they're here and they're better but that being said valve hasn't been

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.239
asleep for 8 months either they've been working on their own prototype

00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:13.640
controllers that ditch the doughnut formation on top for a sensor bar that

00:04:10.239 --> 00:04:16.160
wraps around the back of your hand this

00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:20.840
is a very early demo But it includes things like the halfway closed hand and

00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:25.520
various other hand gestures that we saw on the touch controllers also included

00:04:23.400 --> 00:04:29.360
in the box with the touch controllers is an additional sensor so if you've bought

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:34.960
the headset and the controller separately you now have two so that means that in

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:40.000
Oculus recommended desk Mount configuration you can move around a

00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:45.320
little bit but you can't really turn around they also support 360° tracking

00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:50.600
with two controllers but they don't recommend that you stand while trying it

00:04:48.080 --> 00:04:56.120
and you just put the sensors in opposing Corner configuration but for the best

00:04:53.600 --> 00:05:02.320
experience a third sensor purchased separately is recommended then you can

00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:04.240
stand and turnar around radical the

00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:10.720
superior three sensor configuration will get you to a play Space of 8.2x 8.2 ft

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:17.800
by comparison the VI's maximum tracking area is 11.5 ft x 11.5 ft or 15 x 15 if

00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:21.720
you go with Allen Yates now assuming you have the space for it and can drill into

00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.240
your walls or find some other solution the Vive out of the box is still a

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:32.080
better experience than the rift tracking wise that being said there is content on

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:37.880
line with people showing off that four Rift sensors works very well if you've

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:41.960
got an additional $80 uh beyond the already 80 extra dollars that you've

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.720
paid for the third one so for the first time ever I feel like I have both the

00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:51.360
finished Vive and the finished Rift with which to craft a conclusion there are

00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:55.000
many positives and negatives in each Direction I personally prefer the

00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:59.199
ergonomics of the Oculus touch controllers a great deal the included

00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.560
headphones on the rift are great the ergonomic ICS of the rift particularly

00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:08.440
its lower weight are great but its tether is too short and The Vibes

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:13.039
tracking out of the box is considerably better you can also hook the Vive into a

00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:17.639
backpack rig while the rift sensors need to be plugged into the USB ports of the

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:22.800
computer running the rift so that's not a realistic option with those trade-offs

00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:27.280
in mind the choice is yours instead of it being a clear decision like it was in

00:06:24.599 --> 00:06:31.880
the past I see very justifiable reasons to go with either experience and as most

00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:36.520
people don't have massive areas that they can clear out for VR games I

00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:40.639
suspect many will go with the rift but there's one last thing to bring up the

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:45.360
touch controllers are launching alongside over 50 made for VR titles a

00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:49.080
few of which are bundled with the touch controllers which is pretty damn cool

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:53.759
these games were a highly controversial topic when I wrote my Rift review back

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:58.639
in the day where Oculus was paying developers to launch on their platform

00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:03.840
first but the word first being key here it doesn't mean exclusive the touch

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:08.039
controllers finally launching is great for Rift users obviously but it's great

00:07:05.599 --> 00:07:12.000
for Vive users as well not only because valve is trying to make theirs more

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:16.120
similar which is better in my opinion but because the huge group of developers

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:20.440
working on their games for the touch launch may be able to start developing

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.160
for Vive if you want that to happen hit your favorite game developer up on

00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:28.080
Twitter and let them know you're interested I know I sure will verdig

00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:31.919
gear sells racing chairs and gaming styled chairs they have two two main

00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:36.639
racing lineups as well as their new trigger series of Gaming Chairs they're

00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:40.759
easy to assemble and they Glide smoothly on any surface they have adjustable seat

00:07:38.919 --> 00:07:44.319
Heights and the seats themselves can be locked into five different tilted

00:07:42.479 --> 00:07:49.199
positions their chairs are made with steel frames which helps keep the chair

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:52.879
stable while also keeping it lightweight most mechanical parts are covered by

00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:57.680
leather which makes the chair easy to clean and the plus line is designed for

00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:01.680
Comfort giving the user more space inside of the chair the S line is

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:05.319
smaller and more ergonomic you can check them out in the link in the video

00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:09.520
description thank you guys for watching it's an exciting time for VR even though

00:08:07.159 --> 00:08:12.199
most people are off the bandwagon but I understand that if you like the video

00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:16.720
like it if you dislike the video dislike it get subscribed comment down below and

00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:22.080
uh hit us up on the Forum where you can talk to other people that aren't YouTube

00:08:18.479 --> 00:08:24.120
commenters about things and stuff which

00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:27.560
is a phrase that lonus absolutely hates stuff and things I think is more

00:08:25.440 --> 00:08:31.440
specifically what he hates I kept it out of the main body of the video I brought

00:08:29.159 --> 00:08:34.599
it up in the conclusion it's fine don't worry about it down below you can go to

00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:39.640
Amazon and buy some stuff including a shirt like # out of ideas this is

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.519
possibly uh my favorite shirt out of like all the ones we've made so far if

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:46.920
you want to watch another video check out this one it is my Rift review just

00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:52.480
the headset that I mentioned earlier in this very video and I will see you next

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.480
time
