Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Custom Beat Saber Hilts!

Adam's latest obsession is the VR music rhythm game Beat Saber, which he plays almost every day. To augment his immersion and play ability, Adam machines a pair of Beat Saber hilt mounts for the Oculus Quest controllers! And of course, making lightsaber hilts is something Adam has some experience with!

man, I love beat saber, but it just has one big problem it which many other rhythm games run into: 90% of the custom content its community creates consists of anime OSTs, VGM OSTs, kpop, jpop, meme songs, and shitty nightcore. the songs that you actually want to play are, if they actually were mapped/charted/whatever by someone, were made by someone far less experienced in creating the maps/charts/whatever than someone making weeby obscure anime OST / nightcore maps/charts/whatever.

I love the idea but unfortunately, the helmet shell would need large holes in it to accommodate the multiple cameras the headset uses to track both its own position and the controller's position.

Cooler, sure, but I wouldn't say better. Adam's look to be a lot heavier than the original and with a fast-paced game like Beat Saber, using controllers this heavy will result in repetitive strain injury. They're an awesome novelty, but can't be used regularly.

I love the Beat Saber hilts though I think making one more Sith and the other more Jedi would be a fun upgrade later on.

[@lewistweddle2018]

That would be sick. Also possibly make a double - ended variant.

As someone who is also recently obsessed with beat saber, I’m pretty jealous. These look awesome!

If you have VR, you can download an app that is quite literally called “Adam Savages Testes VR” and get pretty close to what he is doing, being as they just set up cameras and let him work. It’s amazing and there are about 9 to 12 videos you can watch of him doing various projects and guests also doing projects. Highly recommend.

You've got the light sabers. Now you need to mod the VR headset

[@sanderlofthus3220]

Idk how people manage to dislike this video, Adam is such a lovely person and he is showing us interesting and cool stuff

[@CookieMobsterGaming]

You are the Bob Ross of engineering. Absolutely fun to watch.

I'd love to see Adam get together with Tom Lipton of the KZbin channel oxtoolco . He's a master machinist who lives there in San Francisco and works at Berkeley Labs. He's an incredible guy and it would be cool to see the two of them mess around with metal for a while edit: now that I think about it I wonder if they may already know each other because I think Tom was involved in Project Egress making some complicated parts

[@tested]

Tom did indeed work on Project Egress! And he came to a Cave event a few months back. We and Adam are huge fans.

[@Sharklops]

Adam Savage’s Tested that's very cool to hear. Thanks for the response

[@ThereIsOnly1ArcNinja]

Adam at customs check: "These aren't the lightsabers you are looking for!" *Waves his hand*

[@laronda10]

Dude am I the only one more impressed with how they captured that mixed reality

[@-book]

Sometimes I forget this channel doesn't have 50 million subs. The videos are so good!
