    Thrill, I just want to add up one thing.
    You said "It failed as a proof of concept". But worked brilliantly as exactly that - proof of concept. You assembled everything together and it worked to the level you were trying to achieve. It doesn't matter at all if the software was not working together, it doesn't matter if some hardware parts were falling off during it - you were trying to prove that this is possible, this can be done with some time and dedication, maybe even to an easy to set up and use extend. All the "ifs" are out of the question when you just try to show "this is possible". And your results are astonishing

      @@StarCat76 I guess it depends on how immersive the technology is, if is something like Sword Art Online where a brain computer interface is sending information to your brain, then it could be 100% immersive. And there are gonna be a lot of security protocols for that kind of technology for sure, but just like with any kind of technology that has existed, people will always find a way to use it for bad purposes. Though, I don't think we are close to have the Nerve Gear, at least not until the next 40 years or more. I would say we are more close to Ready Player One instead.

    - You even took glitches and bugs and found a quick fix and work around.
    - Got everything working even for a short time being close to Ready Player One without the full prepared and ready for games, out of the box tech.

    I feel like if you had some dedicated game engine for VR that natively supported the various devices that would handle the issue of compatibility well.
    Issue is of course making a game engine that actually does that in a seem less robust and modular way.
    It’s honestly a bit like self driving cars. It we made the road with self driving cars in mind (and no human driven vehicles) we could simplify their design by an impressive margin. It’s through the need to interact with 1000+ things that these sort of things become needlessly complicated and end up falling apart conceptually.

    A note of the Friction: In ready player one, most users don't actually wear all of that gear. The basic oasis set is just gloves and a headset. What wade puts on is equivalent to the setup you donned, the highest tech, most immersive setup money can buy. He puts on all of that gear to become fully immersed, but the whole concept of VR goes big with the release of the Oasis, the platform that unites the hardware.

    I've always stood by the idea that RPO's VR is way more accessible than people give it credit for. A headset, a haptic suit, an omni-treadmil and gloves. We can absolutely achieve this in the next few decades and beyond.
    That being said, I'm still faintly amused at VR smell solutions. Of all all the senses to have in VR, an in-depth smell system sounds like fluff at best. I mean, really think it through, what kind of smells will the average video game have? Burning fuel and gunpowder? Blood and corpses? Cooked meat? Are they really ones you want to get a whiff of all the time?

Keep up the great work.
    In terms of this video, that is crazy you put all that together and got it all to work. I can only imagine the level of immersion you experienced and I'm kinda jealous! When I first tried VR, I was blown away by how immersive it was, and still get that WOW moment pretty often when playing things like a heavily modded Skyrim VR. But to have full body tracking with haptics everywhere must have been INSANE! I really feel VR is the most immersive way to play games, and i hope that one day hardware like this can become affordable and that it all works together seamlessly. I also hope more AAA games come to VR, or more big games get adapted for VR (in a decent manner) cuz right now a lot of games for VR just feel like large tech demos. I hope we get more games like half-life Alyx, and that one day there is integration for the kind of hardware you used in the video. That would revolutionize gaming in such an incredible way! Although your probably right in saying people would never go outside or leave their house. But I already don't so this is all just a plus for me haha

  • @lightswitch8248

    I feel that the only way to reach 100% immersion in a virtual world would have to be a device that would be able to stimulate any sense the brain could receive directly in it, as well as having to take control of the actual nervous system of the body so that you could (theoretically) be in a dream like state where you could be completely immersed in a world and even forget reality exists.
    What I described is just the Nervegear, if this type of technology existed in todays world the only outcome that would come out of it is humanity itself never wanting to leave the virtual world and leading to its extinction.
    Or the people with the most power in the world would create a dystopia where everyone else on the planet would be their slaves or paid workers, in which, the people with power would just spend nearly their whole lives in a virtual world and keep doing that for all future generations until inevitable extinction of humanity comes.
    Obviously this is theoretical but it seems very possible if this scenario happened imo.

      Do people not already want to never leave the virtual world? This does not lead to extinction, though, because people still need to eat and make money to afford shelter and hardware upgrades and such. More immersive VR does not solve the fundamental problem of needing to go back to the physical world to maintain oneself.

    I've been thinking about whether this type of thing would work with our current software for a while and it is amazing to see you turn my thoughts into reality. Although, I think people will stay inside anyways in Florida at least with how hot it is.😵

    Thank you! When you came out of your experience you said the words that mostly matter.
    "I don´t think that people are ready for this."
    On one hand, this points to the exact problem of this type of experience ... but on the other hand, it also shows what kind of problem your perspective has with this experience ...
    please be sure to remember what reality is. Your brain may be confused but your heart knows what is real.
