I made Ready Player One in REAL LIFE! - THE ULTIMATE VR SETUP

Today we dive into a video that has been on my mind and in the words for a LONG time. For the first time I put together all of the world's craziest VR hardware that anyone can purchase and recreated the setup found in Ready Player One's books/ movie.
Super high resolution VR Headset: Varjo XR3
Omnidirection Treadmill: Katwalk C
Bhaptics Full body haptics
VRFree Gloves ( stopped working really early on)
Celia Scent module
Full Body Tracking vs TundraTrackers
And more-
All I have to say is.. I don't think we're quite ready for this.

Yeah as it can clearly be seen in today's Society that technology is advancing far faster than we can freaking evolve because that's just the effect technology seems to have on itself while we obviously just don't have the capacity to evolve that quick and the effects of this are a great immaturity with the technology that we have

[@AceyMangoFR]

@@boocolo1046 yeah. I guess

[@Wombatus]

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

[@martiddy]

If history has taught us something, is that if something can be done with technology even if it's very poorly, then it will be guaranteed it will get way better in the future.

[@StarCat76]

@@martiddy but now we need to ask ourselves a big question… should we do this? Should we potentially make something so real, so immersive, that we loose ourselves in a fake world?

[@martiddy]

@@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.

[@thelaughingmanofficial]

It’s crazy to think if companies really put everything into vr we could have the oasis. If you yourself can do it imagine what a large team could accomplish.

[@kami_dred7319]

the problem is making it affordable for everyone and make the technology small so people have space to put in their homes. We could probably make an extremely realistic vr game like the oasis but it would be a waste of time because they’d probably have to make some sort of huge and expensive setup which would be hard to sell and make profit.

@markjvp like, i highly doubt there can be much of a hub for vr as a whole, BUT realistically speaking you might see platforms such as steam or epic (if they get heavily into vr) build out there platform homes such as steamvr home, to be something more akin to a hub, and make them into a much more desirable thing that people want to use. Like it kinda seems to me like that could be a really good marketing tool for getting people onto your vr platform.

[@chaosfire321]

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

[@oldmankatan7383]

I would recommend.... using the OSI model!

Wow. I hope that a lot of the “thinkers” that do experimental ideas for big players like Valve and Meta watch this video and take notes… Thanks very much for making this video Thrill!

[@FemmeSensei]

Really profound. You and the video...profound. Next level. You deserve a million views on this.

[@ThrillSeekerVR]

Thanks you!!!!!!!! Hopefully- we’ll see :) KZbin is a very weird platform

[@anonymousjourneyman9824]

thank you for doing this. was great to watch this

[@PetePeteRepeat]

This was insanely awesome - thank you for showing the world how close (yet how far!) we are to indistinguishable-from-IRL virtual reality 🥰

[@NobuTechVR]

Awesome video! Real fun idea and great execution! We can't wait for more AAA game devs to dive into VR!

[@bagelofpower7133]

VR is one of those things you can't stop thinking about how it will evolve and turn out as the future unfolds

[@Sirmellowman]

just getting my headset to work smoothly in the simulation games I play is a fking NIGHTMARE. I cannot even imagine what it takes getting all that setup.

[@katwmn99]

I saw you first video on VR when you were working in asphaltic. You followed your dream and THAT IS AMAZING💜

[@syiko_]

Gave me chills man. Let's see where we all end up in 20 years.

[@DJK005]

It’s time to revist this video now bro, let’s see if anything has got better

[@TheMikeLawz]

100%

[@ryanbutler544]

Heck yeah man! Keep the research going!

[@amandaledbetter2676]

I love this keep going I'd love to one day dive into my favorite game and it feel as close to real as possible ... Very impressed

[@crazycraft186]

This came up in my reccomended and I had to watch it I love Thrills videos and this one was amazing. I am so excited for the future of VR and I hope attempt 2 works better! I am also intrested, How does the smell hardware actually work?

[@edrichlouw1790]

I'm moderately adventurous and have spent alot of time outdoors exploring. I also live in South Africa with it's amazing topographical- and biodiversity. I also love VR... it will have to go a very long way before I'll view it as more than a neet distraction or a medium for experimenting. The weirdest thing however, is that even though I'm a very outgoing person IRL I find it next to impossible to speak in somethings like VRchat!

[@iMatterhorn7]

Why do you think that is? Just curious since I'm the opposite side of the spectrum. I'm pretty introverted and get stressed out talking to new people sometimes, so I'm hoping when I get a VR headset I'll be able to talk to people better in VRChat since they're strangers on the Internet I don't have to ever see again if I wanted, so less is at stake.

[@CaptainPanick]

If you are Afrikaans it may be that you simply feel a little out of place amongst international folks. Your age also may have something to do with it. I'm getting older and I think I no longer have the energy to interact with the wide range of ages you get in apps like VRChat. I tend to stick to single player games in VR and I'm sure I'm missing out but perhaps the right app/game may just have to come along to pull me into multiplayer interaction.

[@johnmilsom2179]

I think it will be a revolutionary tool when ready, nice work!

[@eldenringer6466]

This was amazing, great work ..as always.

[@BHBalast]

The idea of the electronic suit was banging in my head for like 2 years, your video inspired me to finally take on a project and do some initial prototypes and research. I doubt I'll sell it because of all the red tape that comes with electro-stimulating devices. It would be open source kit probably. I have an experience with designing, testing and making electronics, if one is reading this and has experience in mechanics, electronics, biology, software, etc. consider replaying to this comment please. I'm open to collaboration on this project because that way it will happen faster cause I obviously can't work on this full time. I'm not a native speaker btw. but I think it won't be an issue.

[@realtimestatic]

This seems really awesome! I hope our technology advances to a point where we can be in alternate virtual wolds as realistic as the real one as an average consumer! The only thing I'm afraid of is that once people are in they might not care as much to improve our actual reality. We should look to always be improving but having all your senses controlled through one System could be very dangerous and addictive really fast if there aren't posed any restriction on the technology.

[@moderngnosticism7590]

Thank you for such a great video. Good job 👏🏼

[@urhokonttori]

Super cool of you to push the envelope and see where the rough parts are. Now we need to add some oil to the cogs in the upcoming years as the industry and it'll be pretty awesome. Kudos!

[@ookami5329]

This is some real hype. Cant wait to see what the future brings.

[@Adiuva1]

Man, I am excitedly waiting for larger companies to invest heavily into VR. The amount of things that are available right now is great and I would like to see the expansion of the industry. As an example, I would love to get an owo vest but there is so little it is currently compatible with. Money is also a factor, but that is just an eventuality.

[@saimadeit]

thankyou for the vid. really honest and well needed tbh.

[@TheThorns]

Congrats on your grand experiment glad you got as far as you did. Hopefully in the coming years companies can come up with an all in one package solution that developers can get behind. Unfortunately the price point would probably have to be less than a grand for consumers to get behind it.

[@Dimondminer11]

I think open source is the true way

[@happysmash27]

Wasn't such an awesome setup rather expensive in Ready Player One (the book) too? So even if remaining expensive, it would not be all that different from the book. And it doesn't necessarily need _everyone_ to get behind it, but enough people that developers support it would be helpful. Could also work by hardware lasting a long time so consumers can build up a nice setup over a long time period.
