I was playing VR at an arcade centre once in an enormous room with a “toy” weapon which was tracked. It felt surreal. The immersion was from another world because you had something in your Hand which was rendered in game and you were able to look at it and feel it.

[@swas_chak]

Can you explain

[@adicsbtw]

@@swas_chak Not OP, but I think I can explain. Basically, they had an object with tracker markers on it, probably using base stations and vive pucks, so that it could calculate the object's position.

[@MayuFuji]

All Linus, no brakes.

[@TWiiZA]

The answer is "in a few years maybe". This prototype seems to handle rigid-body objects only. The combination of breast physics (a subset of soft-body dynamics) and VR haptic feedback is quite the undertaking. I've been out of the loop for the last 4 years, so correct me if I'm wrong.

[@thenuggywuggy8389]

@@TWiiZA The only problem with this is that the haptic gloves we have today may have a hard time accomplishing feeling different textures. Something I came up with (and many other people probably thought of this too) was something to restrict muscle movement and stimulate parts of the body and brain to make the sensation of touching something that’s not their. This may seem like an over complicated haptic glove, but hear me out, you would be able to feel different textures. You could restrict movement in a way that you feel light and bouncy objects or stiff, firm objects. Maybe even wet things or dry things too. With the help of stimulating your brain too, it could help your brain fill in the gaps and give you a full experience. Of course, it’s not just restricted to only your hands, you could also have parts of your body like your arms, legs, feet, or anywhere really have access to feeling things that aren’t their. You would be able to feel the little individual grains of sand in your hands, or the water on you, but with water, there would need to be temperature too, which is a whole different complex thing. Then you would also need a full body suit, something to stimulate your brain, and people working on this, and time and money, but if this did work, this would probably be one of the first steps to living in virtual/augmented reality. This is all, of course, a thought. I don’t know if it will go this way, but yeah. I don’t know how this reply segued into my idea of a full body haptic suit, but there you go.

Amazing! Only suggestion I'd make is yeah, reduce some to forearm, use a baseball glove style (batting gloves) so people buy their sizes. And that should really do it based on the tech, besides minimizing the servos some. Once you have the basic glove(fabric) to then the 'feeler modules' on fingers, to then the outer glove to encase it all, it should be more or less perfect with then the arm guard as the battery pack & sync aspect of the tech. It'd look a little like a nintendo power glove, but amazing tech & ideas here to enhance.

[@bibarrel5111]

This is so cool! It reminds me of the sensor glove me and my teammates made for our Final Thesis for my Bachelors Degree and it's bringing back so many memories. Might I suggest that for weight and bulk reduction you can use Linear Actuator Servos instead of the rotational servos? I used them for our prototype and they work exactly how a regular servo would but with the benefits of having linear action. Iirc, the only manufacturers that make those is Actuonix. They're slightly more expensive, but they're super nice and they're Canada based. This was so fun to just watch in action, I hope Lucas makes more progress in the VR Space!

I've been watching this project for months now and slowly working on making my own. It is an amazing project, and Lucas just keeps making new updates, and even announced that he is working on an omnidirectional treadmill as well, which will be really cool to see where that goes

[@Blue-cq2hl]

"it's a sex thing" just the summary of this video. I love seeing innovators and their creations like this as well as massive technological leaps like this too

[@GetIrked]

I’ve never had my jaw drop involuntarily so many times in a single video. That kid is absolutely my hero.

[@singleproppilot]

This is amazing. I imagined a whole body suit like this back when I was a kid. Of course I never had the education or skills to build it, but it’s cool that we’re moving in that direction, if slowly.

[@Anishinaabe17]

It doesn't have to be this complicated, with gears and whatnot. I've been trying to give away a multi-billion dollar idea for ages just because I want to see it done

[@Anishinaabe17]

Inlay stretch fabric gloves with position sensor electrodes. Bam. Done. The electrodes would read the distance between each one in relation to the other electrodes and will accurately read the distance.

[@Anishinaabe17]

This would result in one-size-fits-all vr gloves that accurately model your hand in vr and would track your hand with 100% efficiency

Adam: "It will be the best 5 seconds of Linus' life" Linus: "I KNEW it was a sex thing!" Linus, the amount of innuendo (and other not so subtle phrases) in this video made my evening. I was feeling really down so thank you.

[@TheMalevolentSpoon]

I always knew the secret to haptic feedback in VR was gonna be a tension string setup like this.

[@thomoski]

Yeah, it definitely feels like the most natural solution, as Linus said, it's kinda the same way our fingers work in the first place, but in the opposite direction

[@profohki1828]

Same... ever since I saw this exact approach demoed 15 years ago.

[@MaxC_1]

which is obvious as it simulates the tendons and natural design of the body thus making it far more natural while still being really simple. Obviously there's more robust systems but string based is generally good enough for most of the stuff

[@TheMalevolentSpoon]

You must like the word "obvious"

[@psypsy751]

I hope we get more of this kind of stuff from LTT, like exposure for young engineers and cool tech projects that need a big media push. Love to see it!

[@shalevhaham]

Finally Lucas gets to the big tech-tube!!! I've discovered his project a few months ago on thrill seeker's channel, and I was shocked it's actually possible. The minute I have the option to built those I will.

6:10 "The power of the ba... the sun, in the palm of my hands."

[@Mowgi]

been following this on YT and their discord for a year or more now, pretty cool to see them get some recognition! Lucas and co are awesome.

[@jthoward]

2:04 Ah yes...middle out, I see Lucas is a man of culture as well

[@carlover78]

That was honestly a very cool video. Reminds me of that crazy audio setup that cost 35,000$ where Linus said he wouldn't cry (XD). Love these kinds of videos where you have the inventor/professional go through the item with you. Keep it up!

[@wesselpoldervaart4658]

As a VR developer I know how incredibly hard it is to get VR across convincingly in video and I would love to see a follow-up video where you use LIV or other mixed reality camera tech to show it off!

[@rmg_lb]

This kid is going places. At least I hope. Keep working on it, it won't be easy, but man, you've got talent! Big props, I am amazed!

[@cercerd]

Just a slight correction, at 5:20 you say that the index knuckles only have open and closed positions for the fingers, however this is not the case, the knuckles support a full range of open to closed tracking through the touch sensors, though it can be a little wonky particularly when perspiration is involved, and many games don't make use of the full range of motion. Still, I've been waiting to consumer level force and touch feedback solutions for years and so I'm so happy to see the DIY hobbyist space making moves in that area too.

[@cercerd]

@@SkeleTonHammer Ah right, yeah, I can see that being a problem. One-size-fits-all design only works so far. Would be nice if valve could supply and support a range of controller sizes.

[@rottenpotato2]

what I'm about to say is science fiction, but imagine an amusement park (like Disneyland) RPG themed, with vr and augmented reality, with the technologies that will be there in a few years in the future, with headphones with 3d audio, suits that make you feel the vibrations of the blows suffered but above all a technology like that of this glove, but applied to the whole body, you could have a handle (without a physical blade of course) but with a virtual blade, which vibrates and is stopped by the suit if it comes into contact with the armor or the virtual blade of the opponent (or even virtual monsters), there could also be archers and schools of magic for wizards where they teach you the movements to do to cast powerful spells (maybe the more movements you learn and do, the more powerful the magic is) in exchange for coins earned through missions that they will give you, there could be fantasy-themed physical shops where you can upgrade weapons and armor, all with real people in cosplay maybe, restaurants, taverns, hotels, all fantasy-themed and rpg; I would gladly spend my holidays there, but then the great thing is that maybe in theory you could also be there from home, obviously you couldn't really walk around because you would be in your apartment and what you would see could perhaps be what a drone or robot that Is there in Place of you sees, however for walking around there are already platforms that give the feeling of walking inside a game and you could use shoes, shirts and pants made especially for that game and for the tracking your movements (just like gloves for vr), also because they would all be fundamental things for a game based on combat and real movements... even if it wouldn't be the same as actually being there and breathing and playing in the open air....and also buying all these things instead of the ones provided and rented by the park would cost a lot more i think, and wouldn't do the same things (becouse to buy things that do all of that would cost like a kidney, a leg and a mansion with a pool) , the equipment you would have at home wouldn't do things like feel the impacts when you are hit or feel the vibrations of your handle when you hit somehing, your equipement at home probably wouldn't make the digital blades feel like physical swords that stop on contact with other digital swords or armors, so probably the park Is the Better thing, we Will see if something like this crazy idea Is possibile (i can always dream)... Sorry for my bad english.

[@dustinf11]

Bearded Linus is a savage. I love it. He went from weird nerd that people joke about on the internet, to attractive nerd that people joke about on the internet. But now he seems more free.

[@Digo-eu]

I'm so happy to see Lucas on the show. He deserves all the exposure he can get for such a brilliant project.

[@VikramHarinath]

This could actually have decent application in assistive technology. For example, if, due to an accident, you've had physical injuries to your hands or even had to have a prosthetic hand. By putting this on VR it could help with rehabilitation either with helping learn how to use your hand again OR learning how to use a prosthetic all in an environment that is safe to do so (i.e. you could break things and not worry about it). You could also adjust where you put the "force feedback" and even, with the right biotechnology, make it transmit directly to the nerves linked with hand motion at any point along the arm. Very cool.

[@andymccray8914]

This guy is amazing. I hope he figures out better and better ways to improve it as he works.

[@lastwymsi]

I've been part of Lucas's server for a while now, I'm so proud our community has made it here

[@philsheppard532]

I like this format of showing off new and or prototype tech a lot please do more. thanks to you ALL @ LTT.

[@e30m3bimmer]

Nice to see Linus partnering up with smaler creators.

[@stefanogranata2132]

it's always a good time when a linus video comes out because you know you can relax

[@gudspellar3605]

My word... This just hit on a new LTT series. Bringing brilliant open source prototyping projects in and doing an episode like this. Then for a follow up, give 2 staff members 4 days and LTT knowledge and resources to produce the next prototype. It would be amazing to see how far you guys to go in a few days and massive reach.

[@ggamer7578]

Based on the very first clip, I know this is going to be a awesome video as always.

[@zuhairihairi5595]

The moment linus was like "lucas talk to me, is it for SEX THINGS" had me laughing 😂

[@Morberis]

I've seen his work on this before. Glad you've covered it.

[@GamerDanMor]

I'm sure this collab with LTT to show the LucidVR Project will help to make this evolve even faster! Sucesso ae Lucas! Vc é o cara!

Best Linus quote: "I know Kung Fu" lol

Built these awesome gloves not so long ago and man, really happy about this video

[@Blade4dooooom]

dude, this is amazing. not a lot of people have the selflessness to go open source and i think that decision alone is going to make the journey towards mainstream gloves speed up exponentially.

I've seen a few videos of this working and I think this is the most interesting invention I've seen on youtube

Get's one of the most revolutionary VR control devices on his hands, and immediately starts making silly and lewd dad jokes about it. Oh, Linus you silly Canadian ;)...

[@memo.i.garcia]

Linus, you should do more collaborations like this, bring more people like Lucas that are working at the frontier of some tech and give them a nice platform to show what are they doing. This content is way better than anything else you have done before.

[@tylorbarker9287]

good content. giving a platform to someone doing really cool work. love it. more pls.

[@FlorianFahrenberger]

This is amazing! The tech is really cool and well thought out. I've been following Lucas for a while now, and I love that he made it onto LTT! Indie projects FTW!
