The Absolute Best of VR at CES 2025

[@ThrillSeekerVR]

Thanks to SideQuest for making my CES coverage possible and thanks to you for watching! Sidequest's support really helps me make videos like this, especially when travel is concerned. Give em some love! They're awesome, go check out their physics based social VR app. www.meta.com/experiences/banter/5404906916283287/? bantervr.com/? discord.gg/bantaverse

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

You missed the XEO BIG, another 4k4k PCVR headset. They were using Sony panels. Its a cool looking headset.

[@greengamerguy623]

kids watch this youtube and will see this abuse

[@polarice5383]

There is another VR gloves named udexreal gloves in CES, did you haven't try it yet? i think the udexreal gloves is also pretty good.

[@vintagenapkin137]

thanks for the video. Ive been following this FreeaimVr, the website linked says consumer version 2025 but maybe they haven't updated. Looking forward to these.

[@oliver-nation4377]

Great video. Thx for the content.

[@shuttlez]

This is the closest to tuesday a Tuesday Newsday has been in decades

[@GenikaXVI]

😂

[@john38825]

I thought the actual last video came out on a Tuesday

[@nij2k]

I only ever watch em on a Tuesday regardless of what day it is

[@shiloh02]

I could have sworn he said he’ll only make newdays whenever theres news, not just on Tuesdays

[@john38825]

@nij2k said on a Wednesday 🤔

[@FreeaimVR]

Thanks for showing the Freeaim VR shoes Thrill! We're very glad they were your favorite device. Hopefully we'll be able to get you a pair soon to try out for longer!

[@ThrillSeekerVR]

That would be awesome! I'd love to do a full video on the shoes at some point. Keep on building!

[@phasein5413]

Doo iiit!

[@kensonplays]

I requested access a few weeks ago, I would love to be able to test them out in my small 500 square foot apartment 🙂

[@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr]

So happy to see that this project is still alive after so many years! :)

[@FreeaimVR]

@@ImaplanetJupiteeeerr Thanks, we've done so many demos over the past couple of years and really improved based on feedback. We could have launched much earlier with a kickstarter etc, but we managed to get some relatively small investments and when we do launch soon, it will be all for the best with us having had more time. It's already very good, and by the time it ships to backers, we think it will be great! We've be working hard to shorten the learning curve to a matter of minutes, improving beginners experience. The VR shoes take a little practice and with short demos (~30mins), we have to create a good impression within that short time. With more time the 'ease of use' and immersive experience greatly improves (you forget about the shoes!) and we're trying to get review units out to more influencers soon.

[@TheVirtualRealityShow]

VR is SO back

[@WireWhiz]

2025 is going to be a crazy year

[@jackr.749]

If you can afford it, these new PCVR headsets are starting to be for the rich only. 🤨

[@Balazs-i6n]

​@@jackr.749PCVR has always been for the rich only

[@christowers7307]

​@@jackr.749true that, but quest 4 got our back!

[@TheThorns]

I agree, Woot! & Cool Beans!

[@efm_375]

no matter how many years pass VR never ceases to amaze me

[@shrektheogrelord6435]

Mango phonk + still water + skibidi rizz aura + fanum tax + noradrenaline + property in Egypt + winter arc + german fart + those who know + African water = new variant

[@VergilPrime]

This is the comment of all time

[@Abakato]

nah, at this point VR should be way farther than it is currently. They want people to buy it. If it's always changing and upgrading no one will buy it until it's "finished" and at this point VR never will be finished or have a staple point of "hey this is as best as we can do for right now"

[@efm_375]

@ yeah i can’t deny that but i still find it pretty cool what we’re able to do any of this at all and seeing what people have made to make the space better. I will also say I’m still super mad at meta for monopolizing the VR causing there to be little no innovation

[@nejihiashi]

VR needs the most advanced technology and innovation in order to be widespread but once someone endure through it they get all the rewards. ​@@Abakato

[@TheThorns]

That's the voice of Richard Ayoade! Voice of Morris Moss and so many nerd related voice overs!

[@otakuattacku8885]

yeah no wonder they requested his voice be put into the video, talk about getting your money's worth lol

[@OrangeC7]

I knew I recognized the voice from somewhere--I looked it up, and he's one of the voices in The Bad Guys

[@briguy9915]

Yep I recognized him from the Bad Guys 😂

[@TheStitchpanda]

I knew I recognized it, a shame too, Ayoade is a Graham Linehan sympathizer

[@BFArch0n]

He's fucking awesome

[@WooHooSum]

Did you start working out more thrill? You look jacked around the 8:10 mark!

[@casualfriday902]

The gloves and Lenses sections have me SUPER excited to get next gen VR hardware coming down the pipe!

[@tabloida]

VR's biggest optimist is back :D We've really needed you man

[@cenciende9401]

It's called intelligence, being able to look ahead and also truly see what we already have, no rage baiter cynic fake will EVER get my sub.

[@FvTv_]

Honestly the best made vr content on youtube, love seeing these pop up

[@ThrillSeekerVR]

THANK YOU!

[@Anakin-dl6eb]

100% not!! There are much better and not as superficial VR about CES 2025 out, at least it's better than Linus VR Video....

The voice for the intro of banter is played by a British comedian Richard Ayoade with fame from the IT crowd, Panel show big fat quiz of the year and Garth marengies Dark place

[@Kryojenix]

Oh, I didn't even recognise!

[@samdenton821]

1:33 Is that Richard Ayoade! Always loved his humour

[@jackhughes6059]

This Jen, is the internet

[@safeish57]

i know! cant believe he doesn't know who that is

[@elimcgamerguy]

the "everyday is tuesday" in the intro lol

[@BANCLAMOFFICIAL]

I never miss a Thrillseeker video and this one has me super excited for the year to come! I want those shoes!

[@DiamondDepthYT]

My yearly Thrillseeker CES video! I look forward to this every CES. You're the best for VR coverage and understanding the new technology.

[@Samuel_REDACTED]

The Optix lenses and new panel is by far the most interesting thing this year to me, really excited to see what companies can make with these 2 products at multiple price points

[@batterypwrlow]

Saying that and also hearing today about a leak of Asus ROG HorizonOS headset in development makes things interesting. (Short Context- HorizonOS is the Quest 2/3/3s operating system and Meta made it open source many months ago. It's like how the android operating system is for smartphones.) It's supposed to be Asus doing their own version of the Quest Pro and claims of eye and face tracking along with many features. I worry that because it will be ROG series, it will get their usual RGB lighting treatment.

[@g60force]

@@batterypwrlow VRGB is born XD

[@starikari]

omg my scuff quest 3 face tracking made it into the video 💀 ty thrill ❤

[@syrneth8775]

Good to see Phia again. Miss her videos.

[@NecrosVideos]

It's good to have you back thrill! Also you've been killin it in the gym!💪

[@OddYob]

I'm thrillin on my seeker rn

[@jamescruz8678]

[@bluestonecreepr]

😔

[@Dindonmasker]

I'm seeking my thriller ngl

[@foxzyx]

I’m genuinely so excited for the future of VR it just sucks because I go through phases of being really into it and then I stop playing for months. I want really good VR right now but it’s gonna take awhile for things to all come together but once they do and everything is easy to use and comfortable I’ll be playing everyday. It reminds me of the first time I played Boneworks, I truly felt one with the simulation. I want that feeling again

[@darklucas0721]

Haven't seen Brad in so long. So glad to see he's still well and following his passions in VR!

[@arthuraguiar5382]

MA BOY IS BACK!! I missed the intro so much

[@DanielMaixner]

I don't mind waiting at all I'm happy for every video, you're the best at presenting cool new VR tech

[@furSUDO]

Welcome back Thrill 🤘

[@Slat.]

It was hype meeting you!!😁hope to see u again at the next CES haha

[@Swervin64]

Great to see haptic vests and glove controllers are getting cheaper, super stoked about the trackers too. It's been too long Thrill, never been more back!

[@StuShipp]

0:20 "recovered" lol

[@moshebaum7612]

Welcome back, glad to see your videos again

[@2ndbleak]

Been only a week of owning a VR headset and I can’t stop playing in & watching vids about VR - feels like we’re almost in the future finally

[@squa_81]

Thrillseeker has essentially my become the reminder that VR is getting better. With VR already being good, I will wait patiently until, it becomes incredible. Having tried quest 3 and quest 2 with friends, I can say I don't miss having a headset, however I will eventually get one when my problems with current limitations go away. Anyway, for the reporting, I hope you and your gf have a January and 2025.

[@zrakonthekrakon494]

Half life alyx is worth experiencing

[@TheRealSolistar]

The thermal/night vision nodes on a kevlar design, but swapped for a small comfortable VR form factor instead is kind of a sick design ngl. Really nice for when your also sitting at your computer.

[@ElNano852]

Good to see more improvements to VR! Although the new products are quite expensive

[@joshuadadad5414]

Really the best CES VR roundup I have seen. Thank you Soo much for the great content

[@CUBEBOX6]

haven't watched you for like a year or two but with what's going on in the industry I think I need you

[@WireWhiz]

More lights! More energy! More energy! More footwork!

[@RyanR3STL3SS]

Thanks Thrill. I could have just skipped all the other CES coverage and just watched this video lol

[@ThrillSeekerVR]

next time i'll try and be a bit faster. I need an editor lmao

[@RyanR3STL3SS]

​@@ThrillSeekerVR Quality takes time! Appreciate it.

[@edsiebert5986]

Haha, speaking as a Brit that voice at the beginning is Richard Ayaode from Gadget Man/Garth Merenghi's Darkplace/The Mighty Boosh/The IT crowd

[@pkretsch]

The voice from the Banter trailer is Richard Ayoade, who's best known for the sitcom The IT Crowd. Really funny guy, and has quite a bit of nerd cred, so I can see why they wanted you to include him!

[@rickyneeter69]

Banter gave me a quest 3, definitely a fun game to play. I got the quest 3 in reward of designing some virtual t shirts for characters

[@arthuraguiar5382]

Bro... THRILL LOOKS JACKED!! 💪🏻

[@pockethugoodss]

Lmao thrill with the advertisement Throwing shade at that guy

[@nightmaerghost9129]

I must be a nerd too, because I loved the Optix booth. Those lenses could skyrocket TONS of companies into the industry. Big steps!!

[@arthuraguiar5382]

Those gloves look so good and futuristic... I loved them

[@SploogeSquid]

to be honest, as just the casual consumer the price is the biggest thing stopping me from using vr. 1800 for a vr headset is actual insanity for a price point.

[@ianloreen7817]

That's part of why seeing certain parts like lenses and displays getting standardized excites me. Standardization simplifies manufacturing, which reduces price. It's my hope that, with how much money might be saved this way, more features like eye tracking can be built into a headset for the same price. As a bonus, entry-level headsets without bells and whistles would become much cheaper at the same time.

[@lucasguedes353]

Meta quest 3s is 300 dolars and the meta quest 3 is 500, and are one of the best vrs in the Market, its cheap

[@ThePizzabrothersGaming]

older gen and meta headsets are pretty cheap and still perfectly fine

[@SploogeSquid]

@@lucasguedes353 yea ive been holding off on getting a vr to see if there’s a new one coming out that isn’t going to set me back too much. Meta quest 3 has been out for a while so I was hoping something newer would come out around the same price. Might just got with the quest 3

[@Nyxchrono23]

Oh heck yeah. Thank you Thrill, your coverage of VR content at CES was amazing!!

[@dunngunkadoid]

Brad and Thrill in the same video? Today is a good day.

[@cheese_man2717]

The sadlyitsbradley cameo is just what I needed

[@ProtogenPilled]

Just wanted to leave some love! This videos are such a game changer in keeping interest in this space alive and well! And it's a great tool for companies to get consumer feedback from someone who is not only well spoken and well read on the topic, but also extremely passionate Wishing you much happiness! Keep up the absolutely amazing work

[@cranstonsummers2871]

Glad to hear from you again

[@KiegKillsReality]

Duuuude!!! This year is going to be totally PACKED!! I can’t wait to get my hands on some gloves!! From what I’ve seen, the EOZ gloves look CRAZY accurate. Totally awesome!!

[@Kenionatus]

Tuesday today! Can you believe it? It's Tuesday today. Just zero days away.

[@ApolloAzraelSpektra]

Thrill.... gahdamn you're looking good. I see you champ.

[@stuntwill]

Great stuff! I'm looking forward to this year in VR, too!

[@SakisRM1991]

I can't wait for VR to enter an era of mass consumption. I believe a good starting point for this would be integrating it into real-life sports like football and basketball. The experience of watching your favorite team's game as if you're right there in the stadium will be so powerful that everyone will rush to buy a VR headset.

[@SilvaVR]

vr still goin good with growing, am excited

[@joshadamik6131]

Joshosh here! Big shout out to you Thrill! Thank you for continuing to make these videos! You and Phia both have such a huge impact in the VR world! Will be sharing your content! Lots of love from us!

[@sombody8475]

Great video Thrill! Lots of exciting stuff!

[@HiltCoW]

So excited to hear Thrill's take on these!

[@TimeFlux1089]

Awesome coverage! Glad to get the scoop on CES. Also Thrill is lookin PUMPED 🤩💪

those glove controllers are gonna be so handy for The Mighty Gym haha never putting my controllers down to do pushups again...

[@josephwisniewski3673]

Did anyone else catch that one time he said "Shiftall" as if the "f" and "t" had been switched?

[@Kryojenix]

Glad to see FreeAim getting closer to production, I think they're at ~$5k developer edition sales at the moment and hope to release $1k consumer editions late this year or next if I remember correctly.

[@mnomadvfx]

The guy in the Banter ad was Ricahrd Ayaode - formerly of The IT Crowd.

[@depsor1228]

Thank you for the video man, I've been watching for years and you're the person who makes me the most excited for new VR stuff.

[@BenjiGreig]

That’s talking foot in the sponsor bit is Richard Ayoade! Miss from IT Crowd and dozens of movies. He’s done a ton of voice acting.

[@smittyvanjagermanjenson182]

I actually use the Mutalk 2, and while you can be heard clearly in a quiet room, it is very quiet, and if you are trying to avoid disturbing someone on the other side of a wall, it works great

[@ThrillSeekerVR]

yeah, they vastly improved the mic over the first as well!

[@Cannon2541]

I will say though, I couldn't figure out the straps, and they don't send instructions for them

[@malakai71]

genuinely want those diverx tipless gloves, the matieral looks very durable and i honestly think they'd make a perfect upgrade to the index controllers(my fav)

Great point on the optix display booth thrill you are the first one to point it out.
