You get what you pay for. Fancy humiliating features? Grabbing things like in real life is such fun because we feel now much more inside of a virtual world or using a Aim controller to feel the next gen of FPS, try with a good HMD, games, not crap please. Try Dirt Rally on PSVR, despite the low resolution it’s a fantastic VR experience but not for the fainted, caution! Good resolution on paper? It’s last gen like PSVR, we have NOW 1600x1440 (Standard today) per eye with Quest or Reverb with 2160x2160 and even more with Pimax (which I don’t recommend btw). But again you can have a fantastic experience even with lower resolution. I guess the cheap crap HMD don’t even does proper 3DOF and go for 6DOF, real VR! 8-Bit? That’s totally exaggerated, you mean like 256x240 pixels.. come on it looks so much better! Too expensive? 399$ for great standalone VR with Quest which could be transformed into full PCVR HMD for about 25$? PSVR for about 500$ with Megapack and PS4 Pro, like Doom VFR, Wipeout, .. or dive in Farpoint, Stormland on PC. I know you will be enthused once you tried a real VR HMD with a good game with the right VR setup (watch especially proper tracking, frame rates and sweet spot/sharpness before you encounter VR!)

[@showdownz]

I'm glad you uploaded your experience. It will sway people away from bad VR headsets. I own the HTC Vive and have over all had good experiences. What people need to understand about VR is that unlike a monitor sitting on your desk which allows your brain to think "hey thats over there, its not part of me", a VR experience is actually trying to fool your senses into tricking your brain that you are actually there. With either a bad headset or a under powered computer you end up in a sort of "VR uncanny valley" where your senses are trying to report that your there but there is something wrong. This makes you ill, and RUINS the experience. A good VR setup can still have problems for some people but most people are fine. I only have 1 friend that has problems, and I've introduces around 20 people to VR. That friend gets sick playing something like World of Warcraft or ANY game with 3D movement. Even he was fine in Google Earth VR and really enjoyed it, until he started trying to "move one way" while "looking another" repeatedly. That did him in. I tried to warn him (knowing he was prone to getting sick) but he was having a good time and didn't listen Hopefully you give it another shot with a better headset and a PC that can push a CONSISTANT 90 fps. Good tracking and High FPS is extra important for VR sensitive people.

[@MalcomMcLeod]

The problem with these lower end headsets is that it turns you off of VR and you may not want to experience what the higher end headsets have to offer.

[@tinovfr]

Malcom McLeod totally agree if you put on such HMD to a new user it may turn out that he/she will never return and misses one of the biggest leap forward in home entertainment! People with VR legs are some kind of responsible to show what VR really is.. the biggest fun in video games since decades. Even with lower budget it’s already possible to have the fun of your life, like Oculus Quest, PSVR.

@Shunazo And this is exactly why Facebook is getting away with so much bullshit. People like you not giving two shits what they do with your private data. You should be concerned. Facebook putting ads in the headset. Listening in through the mic so they can find out more of your personal life...sell that info to third parties and toss even more ads at you. It uses the camera to identify items in It's viewing area to get even more targeted ads at you. You have to be logged into Facebook to even use it now. And now if your account gets banned, you won't be able to play. All it takes is for some asshurt idiot to report you for something stupid and BOOM...account banned. Their system is highly flawed and there is NO human even monitoring it. So if you try to fight it... good luck trying to get it reversed. It's all ran by dumb bots. The fact you don't give a crap says it all. I've had it with FB. Been on that site since 2010 and it's been nothing but straight DOWNHILL every year. At least I'm not ignorant of the garbage they're pulling. I stopped going on there a month ago and haven't regretted it one bit. FB has it's grubby hands on too much already. Don't need to give them another way to stick their nose into my life. If I were VR gaming on the PC, I'd stick with HTC Vive. I'm no fan of Steam at all... but I'd rather use Steam VR than slap Facebook on my head. Thing I don't like about Steam is, all it takes is not being able go get into your account (getting a ban or getting locked out for some stupid reason) and BOOM...can't play your games...or BOOOOOM...all the games you bought on Steam are now GONE. This same crap can happen on Facebook controlled VR. So...better hope you don't ever get a ban. And don't think it won't ever happen to you either.........

Seriously, Oculus needs to carpet bomb youtubers with gifted Quests to set the public straight on what actual VR is about. And Valve should also be precision sniping selected gaming and tech channels with free Indexes, to get some coverage for their end too. I half have the mind to go buy a Quest, and just spend my time in the city letting passers by try it out.

The fact the Oculus Quest 2 exists now basically makes this entire thing redundant because that's GOOD VR for cheap

[@LupusWorax]

First experience with VR, should never happen with a cheap ass china headset, also no roller coaster , racing games or fast paced games in general. I got motion sick easily in the beginning and now I can do 6 hours in one take without any problems at all as the human brain/ body adapts to it. its simply " getting used to it" ever since then I do VR on a daily basis and I totally love it. I own the Vive, the Index, and the Oculus Quest. For starters I would totally recommend the Quest, as it is a mobile stand alone solution but also features the possibility to connect it to your gaming PC for full pleged high quality VR Games from Steam or Oculus. The Oculus Go is nice and cheap, but it is missing the 6 directions of freedom and 2 proper controller which means you cannot move around but more likely just look around from one position which takes most of the fun out of VR. Also there is only one controller that comes with the GO which also isnt tracked in 3D. So again, the best option in my opinion is the Oculus Quest.

[@VRavTech]

For the first month of vr I just played games where I didn't need to more around like beatsaber, superhot vr and using teleportation in vrchat, and getting a lil bit adapted step by step in Pavlov and vrchat, and it worked. Now I can jump off building and the such without feeling an inch of nausea

[@tinovfr]

I really like the Quest Demos like Bogo, First Contact, First Steps. If i have people new to VR i starting from there.. but sometimes they just want the Rollercoaster 😆 first. The Quest was just a nobrainer for me, superb tracking, complete mobile 6DOF, great fun games, PC option with cheap cable, great dev support (like hand tracking), OLED 1440x1600. So if you wanna take a step further into PCVR you can just do it with the mobile Quest too to try Boneworks and other great stuff. If i look to value per dollar this is a clear winner over any cheap eastern stuff like this, because the Oculus Quest really creates a great VR experience which this ANTVR just ruins for yourself and others, would'nt even pay 1$ for it.

[@herfordkingsly7979]

[@Andy-df5fj]

The reason that the resolution seems so poor despite the large number of pixels is that VR headsets distribute those pixels over a large viewing angle and then divide it between 2 images, one for each eye. Anything you're viewing at any given moment is zoomed in to a tiny portion of the display screen.

[@tinovfr]

Exactly this resolution is first gen consumer HMDs and it's very low compared to the 1440x1600 of a Quest or a 2160x2160 of a Reverb. The shown HMD with 110° FOV (i guess diagonal) already needs far more pixels than a ordinary flat screen in front of you (17" or 21" for example) to get the same ppi (it's just like small window into the virtual world). But it also depends on the used panels like the PSVR demonstrated very well, despite the lower resolution 960x1080 per eye the colors are vivid, brightness is very good and the OLED RBG panel with 3 subpixels per pixel reduce the screendoor effect massively and you get very good immersion. I guess these panels did not a very good job if he compares it to 8-Bit 🙂.

[@lexgoogleplay8381]

I've been using the HTC Vive for the PC since 2018 and been impressed with how much VR has improved in recent years. It has a good selection of apps and games, with new ones being released on a fairly regular basis. You hear of some feeling sick, or having headaches when trying VR, but if someone is able to have a good experience using VR, it's difficult to go back to a time without it. You can run some things in VR on basic setting using a GTX 1050, but a GTX 970 is recommended as entry level. Google Earth, Beat Saber, Pavlov, Zomday, Arizona Sunshine, Dead Effect 2, Serious Sam, Payday 2, The Talos Principle, are a handful of many popular VR experiences. Movies are now beginning to be released for people to watch through the VR headset.

[@tinovfr]

yes, it's not just about games, Google Earth VR should be standard in any school class now, such a fantastic app to get a feeling how our earth is shaped, flying like Iron Man through your town, climb the highest buildings, look at the mountains and maybe plan your next real life tour! Such HMDs like in the video should get a big warning sign on the box, "Don't try VR with me! You'll will regret it!" and maybe advertisment for todays cheapest and good standard HMD's like Quest, Rift S, Odysee + (inside-out tracking) If i look at games, there are already such impressive experiences like Boneworks (you need a powerful PC for that), Stormland, Minecraft VR, Lone Echo. For Quest Vader Immortal, Racket NX, Racket Fury, Superhot VR, Thrill of the Fight, Space Pirate Trainer,.. for PSVR Farpoint (wow!), Dirt Rally VR, Shooty Fruity, Blaster of the Universe, Doom VFR, Skyrim VR, The Persistence, Astrobots, Firewall Zero Hour, No Mans Sky, Wipeout Omega Collection, Arizona Sunshine, Beat Saber, Box VR, .. you can do daily exercises with VR, educate yourself and have fun with online-co-op. But first choose a right setup (console, standalone and/or PC) but i emphasize on that, if you wanna experience real VR go for a full 6DOF HMD, NOT 3DOF! It's not the same, a Go is not a Quest, ANTVR is much worse than a Go and just 3DOF too, which is no real VR!

[@lexgoogleplay8381]

@@tinovfr Yes, It's true what you say about how versatile VR can be. Google Earth is a fantastic experience and would be great in schools. I know some who use Beat Saber as an exercise program. Even games like Pavlov, Doom VFR, Dead Space, Zomday etc could be useful for those interested in say, the military. The Talos Principle VR offers puzzle solving challenges. Experiencing Minecraft in VR was interesting as well. I've tried Dirt Rally VR with a seat, wheel and pedals etc, which again is a really fun experience. My relative purchased the tracking pads as well that he uses in apps like VR chat which is very popular. But it's true what you say about don't buy 'low end VR' it can ruin the experience for someone and put them off VR altogether. Especially if they experience headaches and sickness, that a better setup would probably reduce significantly or even eliminate. My advice is for someone to patiently save up and look to buy decent setup, pre-owned if necessary. First a PC capable of running VR, then save up and get a decent VR system to run on it. It should give the person (along with family/friends) some great experiences for a while. This saves them buying a cheap setup, having problems and quickly regretting wasting the money they had.

[@kaxtorplose]

Those are fresnel lenses. The Oculus Quest uses them, and while there is some light aberration, for the most part it's really good. So the problem isn't the fresnel lenses on your AntVR headset, it's likely that the manufacturers simply lied about the resolution of the dual LED screens.

[@voteDC]

I'm not sold on VR gaming yet. It works really well for a minute or two but then it is like my other senses catch up and I get pulled out of the game, I end up finding the games less immersive than just playing on a monitor. What I am completely sold on is VR for media consumption. Sitting down and watching a movie in the SKYBOX VR movie theatre is a great experience on my Gear VR. There are times that I've forgotten where I am and stand to go to the toilet only to walk straight into my desk. I can wear my glasses with it but they end up slipping down my nose, so I leave them off and adjust the focus on the headset. VR could be the future of gaming but we're not there yet.

Awesome video! Quick correction: the AntVR marketing is bullshit, it's not "9-axis" tracking, it's "3-axis" tracking (also known as 3DOF tracking, x,y,z rotational only) "Real VR" headsets like the vive or quest have 6DOF tracking (x,y,z rotational and x,y,z positional) I have the oculus quest and it is the best thing to ever happen to PC gaming since... forever. Seriously, I highly recommend that you pick up a Rift S or Quest right now. edit: also the oculus go is more of a movie watching machine, it only has 3DOF tracking which is why it's so cheap - don't get it

[@justinbeauvais1409]

I would suggest a WMR headset for a reasonable budget VR experience. I have one and aside from controller tracking being irritating, it is actually a fair experience. However the Oculus Quest is probably the best idea for a budget headset. The Quest not only can be used as a standalone, but can also connect to a PC for gaming. Either would be worth a look for budget VR.

[@mungrel6668]

With regards to the feeling sick etc, In my experience you can somewhat train yourself to become more tolerant to it in VR. When I first got my headset and played DCS, man I did one barrel roll and that was that, 5 mins of play time and I was ruined for the day. Nowadays I can spend literally hours on end in it with no adverse side affects. That said, I haven't had much luck with first-person, non teleporting games. They make me a bit nauseated still, but I don't spend enough time in them to build up any immunity. Dirt Rally and KartKraft are the only racing games I've experienced any discomfort in. Both could be settings related, but again, I haven't spent enough time in them. Project Cars 2 though, simply unreal. I strongly recommend you try that driving game in VR. I haven't yet experienced any of the ill feelings from Dirt Rally in Project Cars2. I'd be keen to know your experience.

At this point it's a bad idea to get a new VR headset. You can go to the 2nd hand market where the prices are more reasonable, tho a little bit pricier than the option that you showed us in this video, but surely a way better experience. I've got a Samsung VR (that one which you can put the phone on the headset) and compared to a normal VR headset for phones is a good option. Sure you will notice the pixels even if it's on 2K resolution, but the tracking it's very good, if you are a normal person you can last about 30 min to an hour without getting dizzy.

The big problem with VR is that humans have many senses, but these things only work on 2, or sometimes 3. We have a sense of balance which feeds into a sense of accelerator, we have a sense of position, and we have a LOT of tactile sense. We can sense smell, taste, heat, vibration and all sorts of things. It doesn't matter how good a resolution a VR headset is running at - you're still sat stationary in a chair at a computer, not in a rally car or the captains chair of a spaceship or whatever. Your sense of balance tells you this, but your visuals tell you something else. Then you look at your arms and they don't look right, neither are they doing what they should. Therefore you body assumes you've eaten something that is poisoning you and tries to get rid of it because, typically, that's the only way you will hallucinate :-) That having been said. $122 - that's really, really, really cheap. so of course it's also pretty rubbish.

you have to try the rift s it will blow your mind!

[@ianvandeventer196]

WMR headsets are great for the cash... Mine was 180 and I'm still loving it

[@ianvandeventer196]

Works well enough that some of my friends bought them too after trying mine

[@ryanthetide]

I agree for a first experience but that’s as far as I’d say. I could not stomach Boneworks or even beat saber’s terrible tracking on a high end WMR Lenovo headset. The Quest however is more expensive well and truly but infinitely more better then Mixed Reality even with Oculus Link.

[@delminquoecunningham2792]

A Samsung Odyssey is probably the best entry-level headset when it is on sale for around 250

[@hutchthelynx]

i love how youtube takes the text on screen and puts it into chapters in the Video

[@AnimeKing2018]

the way you talk about that head set make my phone seem like a better option back before i got an oculus lol

[@dawidwsmole2248]

You should try a VR headset with full tracking.

[@Daly5678]

There was me bragging to my friends that I don't get sick in VR. Little did I know after downloading LA Noire... Cole Phelps CAN FUCKIN' SPIN!

[@Outlawgalaxy]

Still better than my vive focus

[@PashaGamingYT]

Why did they put a long cable on it if you can't walk around in it? It's like they didn't plan anything.

[@JustAverageJeff]

The fact you can experience VR for under $1,000 is pretty awesome, the prices are going to just keep going down. I would probably never buy a $100 one but should be able to get a decent quality experience for a couple hundred dollars. I've seen a few websites explaining how to use your phone and that smartphone holder that you got with a PC to get a VR experience on the cheap, you should try it out. I can't reach my headset in the closet, it's too far away so I haven't been able to try it out.

[@Chromov113]

Hey! Those circles on the lens are not caused by the machining process, it's just a Fresnel lens - please look for it on the internet, as YT doesn't allow links.

[@invyt]

You should skip the Go and aim for a Quest instead. The Go is like.. Basically phone VR. The quest is a standalone real VR headset, and if you have a nice USB-C cable you can plug it into your PC and play games off of it as well.

[@KaiatheSiberianHusky]

cries how VR is to expensive. buys a VR headset for $120. cries that it feels and looks cheap.

[@AlbertSiegel]

The first "VR" set I ever tried was the VictorMaxx Virtual Reality Stuntmaster Headset from the early 90's. If you really want to see the worst ever, compare to that.

[@mutasimrahman6833]

YES BUY THE OCULUS GO

[@hannahkahnwald4220]

why? it's only 3dof, doesn't have a controller, doesn't connect to a pc, etc.

[@zathias6154]

Oculus go is not a bad headset but without positional tracking, it will make you sick

[@ryanthetide]

Or the Quest but yeah at that point anything even WMR is 20x better

[@moth.monster]

Ayyyy, big headed glasses wearing gang, I have a 5xl motorcycle helmet that barely fits me

[@Psyrecx]

I have no issues with VR. My girlfriend didn't, until I had her do a rollercoaster sim. Now she can't pay VR anymore.

[@Animo92]

What is this? A VR system for ANTS?!

[@asamusicdude]

🎵When you make a great big blunder, have a pint and then go chunder🎵

[@attackLive]

If you get sick from vr' you probably play less than 120fps. Stutters get me sick too' and I have no issues with vr on my valve index' and I play daily.

[@Xildatin_ethan]

Dawid, just as a heads up, high motion games will make new VR users extremely prone to motion sickness so try something where your character is at a standstill first and try adjusting more and more to more motion intensive games

[@tbray]

if you weren't wearing glasses or contacts, everything would be like not wearing glasses in the real world....

[@cruzcastillo6984]

At my university, they let you rent out vr headsets. They have the quest and the go. I have used both. Honestly, I liked it for a bit but then I got bored fairly quickly. I just don't think the technology is ready yet. It needs to become cheaper and more accessible. It is a great thing to try but not to use everyday. It is kinda like roller coaster. Once and while it is great but I just couldn't see my self using it even once a week. Hopefully it matures in the future.

[@cruzcastillo6984]

I really wish they had like the VR go but where you could hook it up to a computer. Like the specialized controllers are cool but very inconvenient. I think if they where to sell an option where it is just the headset and you can use your computer to run the VR and then you could use a standard gaming controller. VR would be more popular and just a better expereince.

[@Blueye555]

Did you notice that they have a new model available? The "Transformer" which has actually camera tracking inside! ^^

[@nightbirdds]

I think the Oculus Go hooked to a PC is going to give you a way better experience. After all, just because that $122 headset says it runs at a specific resolution, doesn't mean it does. False specs on AliExpress listings are pretty common.

[@shibu5175]

I died at that graphics card

[@peterpereira3653]

VR will always remain the niche part of the video games industry. The hardware is still to cumbersome for many.

[@rocksnot952]

I'd love to have a VR headset. Price is the big limiting factor. Guess I won't be playing Half Life: Alyx.

[@ryanthetide]

Yeah I’d say unless you have $150 for a reasonable new or second hand Windows Mixed Reality and can’t wait to throw up, save a little longer and get a Rift S or Quest with a Link cable (That’s what I have) for cheep. Heck even Rift CV1 are going for around $200~

[@DFX2KX]

@@ryanthetide it suprises me how cheap those things are these days.

[@cookie7993]

Honestly, the oculus quest isnt as bad as people make it sound. The only thing I experienced before was the google cardboard.

[@dlwmd]

The Oculus Go is phone-VR (not roomscale) and definitely doesn’t support HL:A. That’s why it’s so cheap (but not cheap for what it does).

[@peemis3017]

If you spend 120 on a mixed reality headset then you should be fine

[@claass]

But are there any windows mixed reality head sets priced that cheap

[@MrJch24]

I've had the opportunity to try a VR headset at a friends house. I declined knowing full well that it would make me chunder. I don't think this will ever be a good option for people with eye sight problems. I rather watch Dawid turn green :)

[@lemonfed]

sound like I got a better VR experience by strapping my phone in a plastic box.

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

what is it with people saying 2K thinking its QHD lol

[@emralcrewrblox]

Get a Samsung Odyssey+, they go on sale for $230 very often and they have OLED screens, higher than vive resolution, and works great. I have one and with a extra comfort strap for like $20 it’s perfect.

[@BattleVulture]

I know what to expect from Aliexpress, but here I am......

[@supremeback7959]

The VR headset in all it glory

[@TheSwagGuy5000]

walmart used to sell a headset for $30 (a pcvr headset too) thats probably better than this. unfortunately they sell the headset for way more than it's worth now

[@holzwurm_hd7029]

Actually the Lenovo Explorer or the PSVR Headset are also good on PC
