So, I just wanna mention how impressed I am with the capacitive sensors on the buttons. It's not just a touch sensor, it's like a proximity sensor, but a binary one. Your virtual fingers bend and straighten, when your finger is actually like a few millimeters off the buttons, not even touching them. It's really wild! And it means the virtual fingers actually move closer to how ur finger is really moving. not just auto-snapping the second u aren't touching a button, it waits till it's a certain distance.
As an owner of the razer hydra, who clearly recalls being amazed by what the Wii did, the Touch is more than just the next gen. I am legit getting hand presence in games now, to the point that my real world perception is affected by my VR experience.
Yup. They were SOOOOOOO close to being literally 4 years ahead of the competition (ala the Vive Wands) instead of the just 1-2 years ahead that Touch actually was.
They need to sell mods that allow you to strap the controller to your hand so you can open and close your hands in VR. You could pick up and throw objects more naturally. As the touch controllers are right now, I would be scared to let a friend try a game which involves throwing objects. They might release the controller instinctively, and the wrist strap may not hold in in place. This is still an enthusiast market, so a lot of people would be willing to strap it to their hands even if it takes an extra 20 seconds. But I can see why they went for a more friendly device. An optional secure strap would have been a good idea.
I just got my touch controllers 2 days ago and i must say, ive never been worried about throwing them whatsoever, the fit around your hand is perfect, and even when you completely open your hand, they still stay on snug.
If you’re still worried about this (2 years later) there’s a product called the Mamut Touch that does exactly what you’re thinking of. It’s about $35 plus shipping. If you’re in the US it’s around $43 total.
This video explained more than I wanted to know. Great video. Story: I was wondering what the moon shaped pieces were for, so I googled "Oculus controller explained". Then I clicked on this video and thought "3 minutes and 49 seconds? Oh many that's not enough to explain what I want to know". Glad I was wrong.
Well, that's like saying the Wii had hand presence 11 years ago. The difference with this is that you actually get your hand, and buttons to correspond with your fingers.
Well, no. The Wii had hand representation, not presentation. Saying that the Touch allowing gestures is something radically new is just conveniently reinterpreting what it means for your hands to be 'present' in VR. Regardless of gestures or other improvements in accuracy, the Vive controllers allow for presence just as well. Like you said it's a difference, a difference in the way in which your hands are presented. You can't say your hands aren't present in the Vive, so it's an improvement over something that has already been done. It's just marketing so that Oculus can claim to be the first once again.
Wrong the vive wand is no where near this. Like at all. And before you go do you even own a vive and as a matter of fact yes i did for 2 days and i returned it to the store. The vive was a rushed unfinished product and HTC has been a business who is going under and has had real bad financial troubles in the past. I would rather have my oculus and touch controllers over vive because oculus is a thriving business and they keep on making amazing better quality stuff. Yes the oculus could of drop their controllers back in march but they want to perfect the design and give developers a chance to work with them and program for them. Trust me it was worth the wait.
Oh ok if thats how you feel then i guess i could give you a busted old tv that barley gives you a picture. Its still giving you the same experience as a new tv, by that you can sit down and watch whatever is on the tv no matter how poor the picture quality is but its still doing the same job. Or i could give you a car from the 80s thats rusted out no ac or heat and let you drive it to work every day, instead of a newer more modern car that has ac and heat. Its still doing the same job as in getting to to go to places no matter the quality of experience you have during the commute. Sounds about the same to me.
I can't say anything bad about this, because it is a brilliant work by Oculus. But maybe.. maybe there could've been a huge touchpad on the top, just like on the Vive's. Touch v2, anyone agrees?
How could you hold something that is not in your hand? Imagine how weird it would be to have your hand open with nothing in it trying to pull a nonexistent trigger.
Well tbh, you can't open your hands without risking it falling down, you can't lift up only your Pinky or Ring finger. Plus it gets tiring to make a semi fist with your hands for as long as 20 minutes..
Woah, a company advertising their brand new product so people get interested and potentially buy them! Blasphemy! What corporation conspiracy is this! Unbelievable, what a corrupt company Oculus is!
Then i cant understand why the new Occulus Rift S dont use the same good Occulus Touch???????????? Instead we can use the Occulus Touch we already use, they force us to buy a new one Oculus controllers and the worst about is, they are not so accurate in tracking like the old one... I cant understand Oculus!!!!
You have to buy the new controllers ONLY if you buy a rift s or oculus quest, the new design on them is for the inside out tracking on the headset to see the controller.
he said why. gloves dont have analog or buttons and they arent easy to take off or on. 1:10 the main binary is whether this will be something you hold or something you will wear.
Let me guess... the situation should be Oculus was scared the shit out of Vive then come up rashly with Touch, barely against Vive wands, that would make it the "real information" that satisfy you, right?
Yes, let's make it immersive!! Get the touch controllers for ONLY $200 and to make it even more immersive get 2 additional sensor cameras for only $85 each! Anyone who buys this crap is begging to be ripped off.

"It's not just are my hands open or are they closed"
Oh shit was that a shot at Vive and PSVR?
now that's what I call innovation
It's a motion controller, not that innovative, there've been motion controllers for years. This is just the latest development of one.

0:17 the far left controller is literally the knuckles desighn
Genius. The Occulus Touch is what makes VR fun.
Oculus just basically invented a part of the valve index in the process way before valve
Yup. They were SOOOOOOO close to being literally 4 years ahead of the competition (ala the Vive Wands) instead of the just 1-2 years ahead that Touch actually was.
Just incredible! Great job.

Index/knuckles controllers are exactly what you are describing
@@euanjh9766 the index wasnt out when he said this
Just got these, not opened the box yet, will tomorrow. Can't wait.
Wow great video!!!

Oh man Oh man I'm getting them tomorrow.
I wonder if he got em
@@sunman1270 yes I did and I still have them.

Hey, a good wired video...
I Love Vr So Much ❤️💖♥️💙💞💕💋💜💙❤️♥️💕💞💋💜💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Wh- h- why does this only have *28k views?*
So much better than the move controllers
I need to buy it
Nice commercial for touch there wired!
Hopefully gloves will be possible to make soon
Do you need this vr touch controller to be able to use hand inside vr game
They designed the right one to break apparently and not have any replacements
How do I plug it in or change its battery?
you can buy rechargable batteries and charge it every now and then (i dont own anything vr related)
Wow
Cuánto persio
Let’s not forget that oculus created the knuckles controllers without even knowing
Buttons to control hand movements is stupid. Should be all touch sensors with sense of distance so u can have varying amounts of open hand.
I was hoping to find out why ppl are trying to sell one vr controller for over a hundred dollars.
"They make something called 'hand presence' possible in VR."
You mean, what the Vive had on release 8 months ago?
Well, that's like saying the Wii had hand presence 11 years ago. The difference with this is that you actually get your hand, and buttons to correspond with your fingers.

Quality is totally irrelevant, the Vive controllers delivered hand presence no matter how poorly.
Oh ok if thats how you feel then i guess i could give you a busted old tv that barley gives you a picture. Its still giving you the same experience as a new tv, by that you can sit down and watch whatever is on the tv no matter how poor the picture quality is but its still doing the same job.

I have no other questions but...
WHY DOES IT HAVE 2 THUMBSTICKS
Turning and moving
@@KevoKraken I figured that out i own one (quest 2) now but thanks
I can't say anything bad about this, because it is a brilliant work by Oculus. But maybe.. maybe there could've been a huge touchpad on the top, just like on the Vive's. Touch v2, anyone agrees?
I agree, a perfect controller would be a combination of the Vive wands and the Oculus Touch.
ok
ok
why not gloves?
Because it's a hassle to put on and off
Not to mention the problem with sizes!
How could you hold something that is not in your hand? Imagine how weird it would be to have your hand open with nothing in it trying to pull a nonexistent trigger.
1:10 the main binary is whether this will be something you hold or something you will wear.
Well it's obvious why not *AHEM* power glove

Well tbh, you can't open your hands without risking it falling down, you can't lift up only your Pinky or Ring finger.
Plus it gets tiring to make a semi fist with your hands for as long as 20 minutes..
Wow - it's good to see that Oculus have spent their FB $billions bribing tech websites to run adverts for them
lulwut
Woah, a company advertising their brand new product so people get interested and potentially buy them! Blasphemy! What corporation conspiracy is this! Unbelievable, what a corrupt company Oculus is!

1 it's would be too long to put on and 2 how i will you move your character
So the touch controllers had a Knuckles like strap befor the Knuckles.
A lot of misinformation in this.... Was this video sponsored perhaps?
Which thing did they misrepresent?
Teo Barrault What was the misinformation?
Um what?
Let me guess... the situation should be Oculus was scared the shit out of Vive then come up rashly with Touch, barely against Vive wands, that would make it the "real information" that satisfy you, right?
