What vr is the best immense for 2023 for watching movies and instagram do tell!

[@paulct91]

It was only briefly mentioned, Half-Dive VR by the Contact Glove people, it never released but, I liked its potential the most! If used in a laying down position then headset size wouldn't really matter anyways, which seems like a major plus... but, it then can take up too much space since you are lying down...

[@hongbangbang4665]

Hi, can make a review for Nreal air glasses? Heard is the best vr glasses for now

[@CasandChary]

@@paulct91 I was really surprised by the contactglove. I loved it

[@caseyfreeman3994]

I thought it was uncomfortable and no better than what's available

[@ygrittesnow1701]

I am curious. While I am a fan of things getting smaller, I am wondering why no one has tried marketing a full on helmet style for VR. The weight distribution would be a breeze as it would sit on and wrap around the entire head. Hardware placement could go anywhere inside the helmet. The visual component could have a foldup or away option. The helmet would also give a nice separation from the real world allowing for full emersion. And the audio could be incredible. The outside of the helmet could be marketed in any number of styles, Power Rangers for the younger crowd, Star Wars, Tron, flight helmet, etc.

[@junchewfilm]

This is a fantastic idea!!

[@totems07]

Really good idea. Not like a motorcycle one, new materials light with a system for renew the air inside with cold one. You can have rumble like psvr2 around the head. You can put inside a system for smells. Much more easy to do.

[@heyjeySigma]

damn...amazing idea.. never thought of that. i hate how current HMDs put so much pressure over ur forehead or eye area and can give a headache, so a helmet style putting more weight on the TOP of the head isnt bad..

[@afoxdesign]

I think most people don’t want to wear a helmet for extended periods

[@ygrittesnow1701]

@@afoxdesign Until they perfect micro technologies we are going to be limited to the current VR configurations. That means having a bulky device sitting over the eyes and likely a pair of headphones for audio emersion. My suggestion simply makes it a much more comfortable option using existing tech in a better form. A person could put on what looks like a top gun helmet, or a storm trooper helmet or the like. You are right it probably wouldn't be for everyone.

[@VRCentral]

it was great hanging with you two at CES :)

[@marcocomparato5564]

Thanks!

[@CasandChary]

You bet! Thanks for the Super Thanks, I appreciate it ❤️

[@xr.melissa]

I also tried most of these at CES. The Ant Tech demo was probably the most impressive imo. Such clarity in such a small form factor!!!

[@janred94]

"And as a thank you here's a picture of my kitty" You almost got me there! 😅

Great recap of VR in CES. Have tried to look for news and this video is very comprehensive summary

[@cairerocha1004]

What about daydream vr in 0:06 and motion sim in 0:10?

[@mahfah7911]

Love her channel and reliable content this channel puts out. Don’t try to sell anything. Unbiased review and info. Glad I subscribed

[@chardellbrown1821]

Thanks! Great overview

[@ianc201]

really nice of neurosync to sponsor your travel costs :O and thanks for showing us this upcoming tech Im interested in the scent device as ive daydreamed about such a thing for many years but didnt know how to make one.

[@nickmajora]

Fantastic overview of CES VR tech.

[@mjgrant298]

Lynx R1!!!! So excited for this headset!!!

[@travislehmann9689]

How was the PSVR2's visuals compared to the Index does it look like a significant upgrade?

My favorite was definitely the Ant Reality glasses. Not only they were bright and improve the FOV compared with Nreal, but also have this cool feature to jump between realities. THIS is a game-changer. BTW, I'm the one who came to say hello just after your visit to the Magic Leap booth 😚

[@SecondaryProtocol1]

That suit was already around.. I got shocked when I tried the VOID at downtown DISNEY.. being shot by a storm trooper really did hurt..

[@filipzo]

I am an architect and I can't wait to have a good AR device. Focus on form factor and ease to use. The goal is to have an AR device shaped like a normal pair of glasses, as transparent as possible, with ambient tracking. I can clearly see doing meetings with clients/designers/engineers all around the world, discussing the same drawings on the table with virtual 3d model risings from it. Like a zoom call on steroids. Can't wait!

[@popnfresh2928]

Thanks ladies for another truthful & non-bias review of the VR tech…I love the Haptic Vest, especially the one you wore with Half Life Alxy, OMG 😂that’s so cool…$750.00 price point seems to be justified for the 20 motors in the vest for the Torso part of our bodies…again thanks for all your hardwork at CES & editing your videos, not easy to do for sure….great job👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@madniteout]

Great overview. Please go into more depth on what ever you think we should know about from CES as you guys give a balanced analysis and it's all very informative.

[@JO-id6ms]

Thank you for this great highlight summary of CES 2023. Looking forward to more in-depth videos of the products you tested

[@CasandChary]

More to come!

[@DonaldHendleyBklynvexRecords]

[@Skarredghost]

Amazing video, thans for making it for people like me that weren't able to attend CES!

[@PhotonJon]

Love you girls. Been following since you had basically no followers. Really admire what you've built here. ❤

[@bluebell1]

Great first impressions video! I’m looking forward to all the full review videos! Thank you!

[@glenrisk5234]

Those AR glasses look promising, interested in the gloves and scent producing thing too. Think the electrode-stimulation suit could be a lot better, make use of many more smaller electrode points and it should be able to produce much more complex effects than just pain. Everything we feel is an impulse electrically conducted by our nervous system. Smaller electrodes in dispersed arrays over the entirety of the outfit. Obviously it also needs to be cleanable, which is apparently a problem with the current version?

[@jamesledet784]

What would be cool is a pair of shades where you can clearly see real world but also can use your finger to draw anywhere on walls, in the air on the ground and anyone else who has a pair can see what you drew where you drew it at in the real world this would be really cool.

[@fullerexplanations7872]

Middle-aged guys like me and cinephiles of sci-fi will remember the movie featuring Christopher Walken in 1983's BRAINSTORM. It is a movie about a technology very similar to virtual reality in many ways but it goes beyond it because this allows for people's experiences to be recorded by the device which record: sight, sound, and emotion and thoughts etc. There is a scene in which the device starts out bulky AF and over time gets smaller and smaller to the point of near sunglasses. That reminds me so much like demos like your video and others showing the evolution of VR technology! And with BMI Brian to machine interfacing technology development such as Elon Musk's NeuraLink for example combined with VR the movie Brianstorm can actually become a reality! And some of that might be scary for some folks of course. But every great society changing invention has risks and dangers. Cars, planes, trains but without them we would have to walk and ride a horse more often LOL

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

Did they show the pimax 12k to you?

[@alceonsde5931]

My highlight is there are so many highlights... Very happy to see so much improvement. Thank you for showing us all that cool stuff ❤️

[@sleepyjoe4529]

picture of your kitty was not what I expected lol

[@JackSmith-gv5yw]

It's not just about the hardware, they need the games as well.

[@kainey]

You are really right, I love VR but people are talking about the same games for years now we need new bangers

[@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe]

6:23 😍 You make these suits look Good! ‘’Adorable’’🙋🏻‍♂️🫶

[@idegteke]

I like the one that produces complex feelings, like the very expensive one that can simulate the exact feeling of a financial loss.

[@digiboiwand]

The Owo vest looks like they are using pads like those tens machine pads but only bigger. It's very interesting with those gloves but I wish they were tighter on the skin of your fingers. I don't like it when I can't actually touch something directly.

[@kainey]

Hey, thanks for your coverage. Fingers tracking with no need for controllers and VR headsets the size of a pair of glasses is really what I'm waiting for and it seems like it's getting on the right way

[@comixxo]

awesome review! love you thnak you.

[@Benloehr]

2023 is the year for vr

[@UpuYang]

Great video! The guy in the VIVE booth looks funny. 😂

[@CasandChary]

I know, he was also ingame so that was very immersive 😂

[@gilkovitch]

What do you prefer for fly simulator? DCS

[@jz4057]

What apps can VR devices other than oculus use? Would i be able to download games from Apple Store or do these VR sets have their own apps?

[@porksmash]

Interesting seeing the guy holding the receiver so close to you during the Diver-X glove demo

[@dannyselg]

Hey! Thanks for video, im so hyped for PSVR2, is it the best "Bang for the buck" or should i look for another one this year?

[@Jdb63]

If you have a ps5 already it can't be beat

[@CasandChary]

Yes what jbd63 said. It's a great overall headset from what I tried so far.

[@marisollopez1449]

It is the ps vr2 good to watch movies? It is possible to watch 3d too?

[@itsshivammehta]

Hey, you haven't covered AjnaLens. Everyone is talking about it.

[@LegendBros1234]

I did visit their booth in person at Vegas. Their product was cool

[@TK14188]

Can you suggest any CURRENT AR glasses that will work for Steamdeck that will allow my to play like I had a large TV in the room? You seem to know your stuff.

[@henleycheung3615]

Thanks, and what your recommendation for a full set of instruments (e.g., HMD and suit...) are ?

[@chavenyenketswamy1498]

Were there any products that allow tracking of both your hands and feet like in a Martial Arts combat game?

[@RetroPlus]

I am very interested in the pain suit, i've been wanting something like that for a while. That has the potential to make danger feel actually dangerous in VR and increase immersion to a new level.

[@EeekiE]

Might also kick off an entirely new genre of multiplayer VR game...

The Ant Reality AR glasses with 120degree FOV looks to be a game changer ^^ Nreal is one of the company they work with. So we probably will see some Nreal Glasses with tech ^^

[@pixelfairy]

You can make your own force feedback gloves for less than $100 usd. You can even add controls to it. It's an open source project called lucid gloves.

[@pixelfairy]

@@armitageist I think they'll get even bulkier before refining down. But I don't know his plans.

[@chekote]

Lots of great info, thanks. There were many things in here that I hadn’t heard about elsewhere.

[@CasandChary]

Great to hear!

[@truedesireelements2040]

Thanks so much as always...

[@IamPhishizzle2]

Great experimental hardware coverage. It seems the thing holding us back is content. I would like to see a video about VR game engines of the future. Will Unreal 5 or Source 2 VR games be a thing? Will the PSVR2 compatibility options for RE8 be like vorpX or something else completely? What's on the roadmap for 3d video creation programms? Is google lightfield still a thing and is there something special about how they made the AmazeVR Megan Thee Stallion video? Metahumans vs Codec avatars and their respective projected system requirements. What's the state of a decent multithreaded physics engine? What's the state of Valve investing into software for VR?

[@bobsmith9804]

HTC - Can't you play Steam VR games on any Vive headset ?

[@tiffypressstart3412]

I can’t tell if the Vive XR elite needs wifi6/wifi6e or whether it was up to wifi6/6e.

[@djwreckitRick]

2:54 i got really worried where this was going haha jp

[@reyluna0]

Really wanna know what's that feature Pimax let you tried haha

[@LorettaM]

Thanks for the reviews! Would love to see what else you saw at CES.

[@justaguydoinstuff]

I'm surprised you're making specific videos for the PSVR2 and the Vive but not the Pimax Crystal? I think that's probably the headset most people are interested in from a PC standpoint considering the incredibly high PPD, FOV and colors that no other headset has, including the Aero. Did you try the base station faceplate? It seems like people want to dismiss pimax from past experiences rather than promote them for their recent successes. I'm actually really looking forward to it, it sounds amazing.

[@CasandChary]

I will but I want to wait until they have more features or even all of them to demo for me. Not just one small feature of the headset. Does that make sense? Or would you rather see a video per feature? Genuinely curious. I did try the faceplate and talk a bit more about it more in my VR headsets comparison: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGHddoJoo6uZeLM

[@justaguydoinstuff]

@@CasandChary I think we'd like to hear details of the image quality and tracking details. I know they're still working on the tracking but Bradley said it was really good. It's nice to hear different peoples experiences. :)

[@sheld0n]

I want to hear about any similar products to nreal air, especially if any support 3d videos and 6dof

[@Yipper64]

10:50 inside out tracking pimax? Oh boy I'm getting options! May not get the quest 3, I'm gonna be looking at all these others. If I can use the quest pro controllers with any of these inside out tracked headsets that would be the best of both worlds.

[@ConservativeJuggaloPodcast]

Yea but those gloves amd vest aren't any use for us Sony VR heads right?

[@maximme]

that suit was VERY figure enhancing.

[@duanium]

As a man with Cerebral Palsy, I found my experience with VR a disappointment because, thanks to COVID-19 and my limited mobility, I could not get the HELP (!!!) I needed. So the Headset sits on my shelf as a monument to something unreachable.

what’s the best psvr2 FPS running and shooting game, no puzzles or thinking lol? like Quake3Arena once was? (for kids (girls) simple non-english just fast action, colourful non realistic fun) 🙏

[@juliashenandoah3965]

Amazing absolute amazing! The question is can this impressive future technology be bought soon, or is it better to not wait and just have a regular VR headset and be happy with it because all these CES prototypes take let´s say 5 years to arrive in stores?

[@j-p2042]

i've been waiting for HTC to release something new, and I am not super excited with what they came up with. I have not had a VR headset since the Samsung gear VR support for Quest got dropped and I will have to find some way to test out the new HTC headset before deciding on it or continuing to wait. Thank you for your videos! I'll make sure to keep an eye out for the one on the HTC headset!

[@ctoxyz]

great reviews

[@fullerexplanations7872]

I like the textile things the best but the vests the best. The gloves for the most part need to be a heck of a lot less bulky for me and I am sure most people

[@jlsheetmetalinc4993]

Thank you Best ces review so far

[@CasandChary]

Glad it was helpful!

[@haltux]

The fact that "the Lab", the demo Valve has initially release to show VR capabilities about a million years ago is still used says a lot. New headsets and other devices won't be of any use if the software does not follow. Right now we have seen nothing exciting for ages. I have a VR headset, and I have used it exclusively to play Flight Simulator and Zaccaria Pinball for a couple of years now.

[@iris-dm8il]

When will Megane x be released?

Have you tried Holoride? I'm very interested in your opinion on how using VR in a moving care feels.

[@AxeDragon1989]

The technology is awesome but my concern is that for people just wanting to play a game, it's becoming a lot of work! You'll have to charge and put on gloves, a vest, shoes, leg/arm trackers, extra battery pack and then finally step into the VR treadmill! Drastically different to sitting on a couch with a controller. I love VR but I'm also extremely lazy

It would be interesting to see if HTC could position the new headset as a Quest Pro alternative and actually try to offer compatibility with the Meta's Quest software. I suppose it would require cooperation from Meta and there are competing legal tensions (antitrust vs. IP rights) but it seems like that headset might be a viable high-end option if it could offer compatibility.

[@dtrjones]

I think from the journalists I've seen coment on this that it is recognised as a Meta Quest Pro alternative. There's absolutely no chance Meta will share stores with HTC, what were you thinking! 😀 Looks a nice device but as you have alluded to, the content store remains an issue. Now if it could be compatible with Side Quest which I believe Pico 4 is, that would be a start.

[@zantrex4]

Cool video! Personally, I find the glove/haptics suits tech gimmicky (lets invest those resources into true BCIs!), but everything else was promising!
