I'm disabled which makes VR difficult and painful if the game is meant for the user to be standing (I can't stand for more than a couple minutes at a time). This would be a literal game changer for me, but like so many disabled people, we are on disability which means the price of this chair at $800 is well beyond our ability to afford. But boy do I want one now!
@@yubeme120 Wow dude! I really appreciate your kindness. It means so much just you hoping the best for me. That has made the past several really bad days so much better.
In my "office" I have my work chair, a foldable racing char, and my VR treadmill. Once all the accessories come out, I might consider this if it can replace at least my office chair (bonus if it can replace my racing chair) but as it is, no more room in here for another VR accessory. This does look cool, I don't play VR games sitting down much, besides the ones meant to be played sitting down, because I find it really unimmersive to sit in a stranding game, but my VR treadmill is too loud to play at night when I have a wife and a roommate. But this seems like it _might_ increase immersion enough that I could do it. My question is how loud is the chair as it moves? Would the gears wake someone in the next room? Either way, great video. I haven't seen any of the bigger VR channels cover it. This is the first time I've seen your channel and I just subscribed. Great video.
it's a good option for those that have limited space to do full motion and if they have a little more space they can swing and not worry about leaving there play area.
I'd seen this and couldn't get my head around what the point was. Very informative and clear video. I could actually see myself using that quite a lot. Price tag is a bit painful though.
Looks cool! Love that there are so many different accessories for so many different people. Love this hobby. I personally wouldnt buy it, but I can see its value for a certain user
I didn't get if you could charge the puck while using? Thinking about using it in a museum experience but that wouldnt work unless it could run on cable power.
you could run a batter to the puck i guess. or a cable. might get caught up in it though. it does charge via usb. and yes you can pair more pucks, its a bit of a pain to swap them though.
You love to work in VR so you'll appreciate this. Imagine getting the desktop addon for this, and using your quest 3 in immersed and placing screens all around you 360 and turning your head to rotate to any screen. A 360 workspace !
Really cool that you can put the puck on your hip and use it as a hip tracker for turning, seems intuitive for shooters that way. I hope this product succeeds so that the price can come down, would totally buy one if it came to the sub 500 price range.
All I could do is laugh. As much as I love this chair, it is amazing. The only reason I'm wasting my time out at this hour in TH-cam land is to figure out the Haptics. Plug it in the sensor, and no audio correct. It has a small aux port on the base of the system, but if you plug in this and turn in the chair and you will hVe wiring problems very soon!! So please, I paused when you started talkin about the instructions because i laughed, because you are absolutely right. Anyway please someone let me know and if at all possible visuals work best for me. Thanks!! Just a pic. maybe.
lmao. no no no. you don't plug it into the chair. You plug it into the Quest 3. the 3S doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, so a usb - 3.5mm adapter may work. haven't tried it. Apparently you pair the puck with your headset via Bluetooth as well and have chair haptics that way, but i couldn't get that to work.
Really interesting but too expensive for me to try it out. I mean the ready player one treadmill is not really possible right now so maybe this chair can do the trick in the near future when it evolves or just gets cheaper.
not practical for a lot of vr games. When you play a game like Into the Radius you are constantly looking down and turning your head to grab things off of your chest and belt.
Would you know if this chair works with the new game Iron Rebellion? This game utilizes elbow to hand locomotion. Not the typical look to move or thumb stick locomotion. The mech turns and looks based on how you pivot your arm at the elbow. If this chair works with this game which is amazing I would so buy it.
Why would you want the chair to turn where you turn your head? Whenever I can I always change the movement type in games to not move with my head because it’s not natural, irl I can move independent of where I’m looking. I don’t get why you wouldn’t just get a normal swivel chair and use your legs to spin you, in which you could look around. Only seems viable for very few people, certain disabilities and such. A baffling product.
This might just work for a lot of people, especially for the ones that are handicapped, and also for some people who just don’t have enough space in their house to enjoy VR like they really want to, so this chair might just come in handy. I honestly prefer standing & moving around though🤷🏽♂️ Competitive VR first person shooter games is no fun when you’re just sitting down. You’re supposed to be standing & using real body movement to turn, not with a chair. Also, this is honestly a very lazy way for people to play VR games. They don’t want to put in the work, they would rather sit in a chair. VR is really made for people who want to get a good workout, and burn some calories while playing video games. You’re not supposed to be sitting down relaxing while playing VR. You might as well sit if front of your TV, and play regular flat screen video games, and take that VR headset off.
I wish. I had money. So I could do this the right way and have a harness. Systhat's that suspends the person in mid-air. There then uses this rotation technology. Having no impact while running would be optimal.
Exactly. I have a chair on a pedestal base, with retractable arms. It's perfect. Leave the arms down for cockpit games, up for everything else. Turn in the chair instead of the stick, no motion sickness.
If you play your games with head based locomotion you will see value in this chair possibly. However as a vr player that uses hand directed locomotion, this is completely useless.
@@CyionVR head-looking locomotion does ''seem' counter intuitive (and is without Roto), but honestly everyone who tries finds it so liberating and intuitive. Hands based locomotion, as you say, is the best method when seated currently, but this knocks the limitations you're used to out of the park. It needs to be tried before being fully appreciated
@@RotoVR Let me ask you a question. In real life if you are walking down a side walk, and at the same time you walking, you decide to look to the left to admire someone's garden, do you automatically walk off the side walk and start walking to the garden? Or are you walking straight down the side walk and keep on walking down the side walk while looking at the garden to your left? Now if I could rotate the chair with my thumbstick and use hand directed locomotion (or even better hip/torso directed locomotion), that might be something.
@@CyionVR hi, I do understand what you're saying - and in that situation you are quite correct. But more importantly (because more frequently), if you decide to walk down the path to your left, you will ALWAYS look in the direction you walk first. You will turn to look left and then rotate your body around accordingly. You rarely ever walk in a direction without facing it first.
Nice for lazy people, overweight people, etc ... Because you can do everything and in a lot more accurate way just being stand up and and just do everything with your own body, just as in real life, and in that way will always be a lot more immersion. And for racing/car driving games, makes no sense at all, you are not rotating your seat inside cars, you are static and you rotate your head only to look around, not the whole body nor car seat.

@@Q2CVRGAMERI ordered one a few weeks back and no updates, any idea when they plan to start shipping?
This is the most practical form of this type of VR accessory I've seen to date.
right! .. it's crazy useful

Roto shouldn't spin when you look down. Somehow a rogue Headtracker was sent to Q2C for which we apologise

I’ve been waiting for this video bc I’ve been eyeballing this chair for months. Is it height adjustable?
Yes it is height adjustable
If they added a pedal on the foot rest that could push forward for you, you could move without using your hands at all.
Never mind that, i plan on placing a piece of plywood on the foot rest with a rubber mat on top and using the cybershoes. 🤡
I had seen pictures of this but watching your video made me want one.
Whats the recommended max weight?
great breakdown , I still think its more immersive if you stand though, so the chair is semi worth it.
But imagine if you couldn't stand ... 😲
@@Q2CVRGAMER I never thought about this actually, to all the non abled body people this is a godsend. So great product!
Being only a little shorter than Eric I need to see how he fits on this thing. I'm used to my Secret Lab XL so I'm spoiled.
ya i use my Boba Fett secret Lab chair at my desk, but this thing was pretty cool.
Ive been playing in a swivel chair for about a year and a half lol
Ok, it seems to me that my swivel chair does the same thing, just use my legs to spin around. Am I missing something?
Check out my video on DigVR
I'd say they should just ditch the haptics part, especially given that 3s doesn't have an audio jack
Maybe they could make a dongle of some kind to make the rumble pack work with the non audio version of haptic feedback in games also?

It's Not Bad For 800$$ Kinda Cheap Really ...I wish I had Some extra Money to Spend I would Pick one Up...Does It Go up to like Bar Stool Height ?
No it doesn't go much higher than a regular office chair.
Cheap is relative
Yes, Roto goes up and down
👍
wow this is different

agree 100% there is def a market for this device. I prefer to stand as well, but some people just can't.

Herman Miller disagrees.
Honestly it just seems like an overcomplicated computer chair

Seriously, just get an office chair on a pedestal base. Been doing that for years. No need to spend the $
So initially VR got you off your chair actually break a sweat get some exercise n we figured out how to be lazy again
Or, perhaps it's for people with mobility issues to be able to enjoy 🤷
some people just don't get it. 😉
No
Haha....
