mmmh, 480p right in from of my eyeballs.
Each eye gets a crisp 240p!
Don't forget the delicious fast and responsive 60hz max
@@NottJoeyOfficial The Wii U Gamepad has a resolution of 854x480. 480p refers to how many pixels tall the screen is. Each eye would still get 480p as you are splitting the screen in half horizontally, not vertically.
427x480 is the nicest vr resolution i've seen yet
@@girres43 I forgot that the resolution is measured vertically like that lol. I'm too used to the 3DS being 240p and rendering two screens for the 3D effect.
Finally a practical use for this system outside of Paper Mario Color Splash
wait
when was that used
also wii sports plus had it ig when you had to follow the baseball with the gamepad
And Nintendo land
And starfox gaurd@@TheRobotIsOff
Of all the things on the Wii U that were good you use Paper Mario color splash? 😂 The virtual console had all of the old paper Mario games that were way better than color splash
and nintendoland
and wii fit u
This was my childhood dream when VR headsets were ungodly expensive
Forget the Vision Pro, we got *Wiision Pro U*
Should have named it the wii see U
There’s a screw hole under the ridge on the back of the gamepad, it was never used but you could’ve used it to secure the gamepad
Breaking News: *Local Florida Man breaks into daycare and precedes to bring a whole 3d printer into a playroom to create a Wii-U-based VR headset using everything in the toyboxes.*
Yes
Long live the Wii U
This was an awesome video and build, but if I can give some constructive criticism, I think the rapid onset of memes was... way too overpowering and distracted the focus from your narrative/story. I think you would be better suited just using occasional memes with mostly B rolls of Wii U games and diagrams. You don't need to constantly flash things in our face.
But other than that, this was awesome! Absolutely insane, but awesome! I like how you explained your mistake on the build and how you fixed it, rather than pretending it didn't happen.
Looking forward to your future stuff, and subbed!
After rewatching for a second I can definitely see where you are coming from. I will change this up for the next one and see how it goes, input much appreciated :)
You're very welcome! I hope I didn't come off too critical, and I look forward to the next one!
@@robotortoise much appreciated, bring on the feedback good and bad. I want to get better at it.
Personally I’ve been interested in adapting VR games to the Wii U. Personally I think this would be more fun without the headset, just use the Wiimotes and the Wii U for some “Flatsaber”
I gotta say, I'm impressed. You made the 9-Axis research actually understandable. Not everybody is able to explain something like that. Plus, you were actually able to get the game to work, to an extent anyway. Obviously this is a very niche project, but if you were able to refine the design, I would be willing to buy a VR accessory for the Wii U. It would also be nice if you were able to release a demo. If you ever get the opportunity to work with someone on that, I would like to see what else could be done.
Nintendo Switch Labo at home:
great work haha, awesome stuff.
its not loading but i swear if this is TheDevAtlas Turning A Wii U Into A VR Headset again im going to lose it.
It is, just around 5ish
You're not gonna like this, but:
Its TheDevAtlas turning a Wii U into a VR headset again
I'm new here... why are you guys saying "again"??? 😟
I was thinking of making custom controllers, and a custom vr headset enclosure that uses the unused serial port on the gamepad (with quest-like sensors) for roughly 6dof tracking and then make an ALVR client with it.
ALVR for the Wii U?
alvr is open source@@ChrisD__
This is absolutely cursed, no matter how you look at it. From the concept to the execution, truly beautiful.
Damn, really high quality videos. Keep it up and you'll blow soon for sure. Here before 500 subs boyyyyy
As long as this doesn't turn out to be the Virtual Boy 2.0, we are good
The Wii U has a tripod mount thingy on it already, it uses m5 thread, 2 slots on the top lip thing and 2 slots on the bottom of the screen, I think it may be easier/more secure to utilize that to mount it to the headset if you ever get the urge to work on it again.
Yeah, and if @TheDevAtlas needs references the Wii U reveal trailer has a Wii Zapper-like accesory that shows how it would be plugged
Super cool! Always love to see the wii u getting this modding attention. Ill try out the game you made too!
just discovered your channel, man you are an inspiration!
This is cool af, getting real palmer luckey vibes from this guy. Its insane you can do this type of stuff with an old wii u.
This seems really cool! I’ll watch the rest of the video in the morning seeing as it’s about 11:30 pm rn lol
This is super sick, dude. The Wii U is such an underrated console, i can't wait to see what you do next
This is actually probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my entire life. You've gained a new sub
This is absolutely insane. Please keep making content like this!
you reinvented VR! incredible work
You proved it’s possible fr
This is a really cool project, I'm happy this was recommended to me. Keep it up!
very entertaining video. my one gripe is the GIFs. you are good enough to do animatics. there are some in here that look great. good luck in your future vids
Mate, these projects are insane 🤯 Definitely worth more attention 👌
Just subbed :))
I'd love to see you do a video about the incredible glasses-less 3D the Wii remote can produce. The technology got wasted on just being a controller, when it could be used for head tracking that allowed for an amazing 3D effect, so much so, the 3D effect could be caught on camera.
always thought wiiu VR was possible when I saw Nintendo Labo for the first time when I was 9-10. And now Im 15 and someone actually did it.
The amount of Gifs this man used is wild, overall, good video brody
Truly amazing work my friend!
wait. Imagine an ASMR video but in VR. You're right. Just think of the possibilities.
My childhood console combined with my current obsession, awesome!
Awesome video! Super underrated keep it up man!
This is cool man! I'd love to see you try making guitar hero in unity for pc, something like clone hero but with venues would be sick
This was a super cool idea! I've always kind of wondered if the Wii U could be used like this.
Super awesome! Idiocy at its best, it's brilliant. Would love to know how you got clone hero charts to work in unity
Bro your videos are so hq, you deserve so many more subs
I used to be in the code ninjas curriculum, you guys did a pretty good job :)
I thought it was good but it felt slow and honestly I don't like the coding adventure game thing we always did.
I should have seen if there was a class focused on one game engine
ah yes the "wii r" if nintendo made this people would be even more confused than with the wii u already and think its an add on again
it's probably been a good 10 or so years since i last used by wiiu but if i recall correctly the gamepad has a mounting hole specifically for attaching firmly to things? like a tripod mount type hole on the back? might be useful here for getting it to not move since you want it fixed to the lenses
I just got the Wii U a few weeks ago, and I believe that it is the most underrated Nintendo console of all time. Look at what it can do! Here before 1k subs and I subscribed yesterday!
This is a beautiful tire fire and im here for it!
Super underrated keep up the good work
great vid, youre going places im sure
If your going to use a solder iron to melt plastic of any kind, there are specific sticks of plastic you can get to mend things like broken totes and such, as well as proper soldering heads that more effectively melt the plastic; the whole process should be quick, but still requires proper ventilation.
Man, this channel is so freaking underrated
Cool video! I thank the algorithm for pushing this to me today :D New subcriber for you!
Forget the ‘Switch 2’. This needs to be the next console.
Love the use of Adam savages ruler tattoo
Pro tip for finishing 3D printed parts for future, use bondo body filler for larger mistakes or imperfections and bondo spot putty for smoothing smaller areas. Use the same mask when applying it and gloves. If you need more help finishing stuff lmk, I used to finish Star Wars costumes and helmets. (Wood filler may wash away with water, bondo will not)
You sir, are a genius. Also, love code ninjas😄
Love what you did its so cool I just wish you could have finished and polished the game it would be sick
next thing you know he's going to turn a switch into a vr headset! oh wait...
Real good vid sub earned also here before 950
Now turn it into a smartphone that can take calls
Keep cooking
I'm under the impression that nintendo had this in mind when they added the magnet thing.
keep cooking
the gifs edits make me feel like im watching a baby sensory video
Yeah, I got to tone it down a bit
it's kind of awesome at the same time
now instead of using my wii u as a emulation machine i will use it as a vr headset
Ive found that if you ever have to fit a 3D printed part to a real world object, it will always make your life easier to print only that connection with as little extra unnecessary plastic as possible to get it perfect
This is super interesting you are underrated
Can't wait to stream pc games on it but that sounds challenging tbh
Two things. When making the mount to attach the Wii U Gamepad to the Oculus Go Lenses, making a mount which utilizes the screw holes on the back of the tablet would have been ideal. This would have prevented shifting of the tablet which probably led to distortion and motion sickness due to it just being held on by friction. Second, are those Wii Motion Plus controllers? If they aren't, I'd use the Motion Plus ones because they have extra sensors which could make the "tracking" a lot better. Awesome job.
Lord why.
This is so bad, but so freaking cool.
The Wii U is just the absolute GOAT
Awesome Video!
I love the Wii U but want this now!
basically the big screen beyond
Imagine playing splatoon in VR
Nice video!
Now i know how to code VR games without a headset
We're living in a virtual Wii-ality
This guy is deffo a code ninjas black belt
Alternate name for the WII U VR headset: WII VR U
I didn’t expect to hear crab rave in 2024
I can finally use the gamepad for something modern.
If only i can hook it up to a laptop or something.
Maybe one should try VR-ing Splatoon 1 as the motion controls are amazing. I know Splatoon uses all three sensors you specify at the beginning. This is why the game is so much more accurate than its successors.
There's a first person mod for Splatoon 3. If that were to be combined it'd just be excellent
@@heraclessanchez8814 The issue is you have to get the TV screen onto the Gamepad. I don't recall watching the video all the way through, so it was probably solved.
Do you mean an actual 1st person POV from the TV screen? Sounds like something Dolphin can do.
@@CobiaCrossink Dolphin? Like the Wii/GC (not WiiU) emulator?
Anyways, changing the screen display is easy and even is included with the current homebrew environment (Aroma). What he would need to do is double the center of the screen, swap screens, and it's done. Extra points if it's made 1st person (probably hard)
@@heraclessanchez8814Correct on Dolphin. I once saw a 1st person VR mod where someone played Speed Racer the Movie on the Wii. It looked amazing. I know the Wii U has it own emulators like Cemu.
Sure, why not.
random deku cameo gotta love it
I love this
currently doing this but using the labo lenses, i'll update when i finish the project
Wish I can make games.
The WiiU sounds intresting since it has a ton of stuff build into it mic, camera, touch, connects to the 3DS and they say that CoD B OPs 2 you can connect 2 WiiUs via LAN cable for llocal multiplayer the list goes on and on.
Seems like the perfecrt testing ground.
The WiiU is powerful. That´s why it allows this stuff. In theory it´s even possible to mod the gamepad to allow for higher resolution. But nobody has done it yet.
Ah yes, not re-printing it (takes 26), but working on it more (more than 26 hours, more problems, takes more money)
PLEASE make a video explaining how you synced the notes. I've been trying to create a rhythm game for a while now, and this is the only issue I've yet to solve.
Definitely in the nearish future
you should try to make a cool project with the remaining mobo of the oculus go
Massive respect
So I love Clone Hero, have a modded Wii U, have dismantled multiple of those VRish headsets meant to hold your phone, and I've wanted to try Beat Saber but don't want to buy an oculus or anything like that. If you got this working correctly and released it as a homebrew then no joke I'd play it, already got the charts I want and everything. Also though if the VR won't work then I'd also be happy to play it just on a TV with wiimotes. Also beat saber has a bunch of user-created songs with some sort of charts in similar fashion to Clone Hero, so making a Wii U game that loads those would be awesome as well. Basically if you can make something playable with this concept in any fashion I'd play it.
This is not a bad idea I'll probably add it to the list of projects I have going. Good idea :)
Hypothetically being able to connect this to a PC would actually make it an insane project. Moonlight streaming to the Wii U has been possible for a while, and it might be possible to make some sort of client in Unity????? I'm an idiot, I don't code at all, but it would be sick if it was possible! Imagine playing actual VR games with your Gamepad and Wii Remote
VR on PC is lagging. You cannot have this on PC. Only WiiU has lag and input-latency free VR. There´s a reason VR for PC is nearly dead allready and all support for it has been ended (by MS).
For this exact same reason Moonlight streaming is LAGGING extremely heavy as well!
Since an AMD or Intel--procesosr will allways have gigantic latency.
This is actually extremely cool!
Woah how did you heart my comment so quickly
This is so cool
18:20 you’ve gotta test if you can shoot webs now
Try Bondo instead of Wood Filler next time. Works really well with 3d printed parts.
the useless port at the bottom on the wii u gamepad can finally have a purpose to help the gamepad stay in the vr mount!
I miss the Wii U..
You could've used the IR sensors on the WiiMotes.
as a proud Wii U owner, this is amazing x3
