@Wanye Smith Ah, yes, vr headsets are too big, i understand.

[@Kenchan1337]

@Wanye Smith too big? you can easily argue the $5000 tesla gloves are bigger because of how the force feedback is delivered to the fingers...

[@Ghostly.Chills]

Been flowing lucas for a while now, it's awesome seeing him get featured on here! Guy really deserves the exposer and praise he has been given so far

[@RetroBreak]

Awesome video! Would love to see more videos building this kind of DIY VR accessory!

[@TSFxAA]

i can’t wait until gloves like these are perfected and it’s a common thing among VR users to have these gloves to bring the VR experience to the next level

[@layrekim1966]

That is so cool, he could make a business with this

[@pug6436]

@Wanye Smith wat

[@Joseph-oo7pp]

I don't know whether it's awesome or terrifying that we are basically at the level of technology shown in Ready Player One. VR was always such a fascinating niche to me since I watched Jacksepticeye play stuff on the DK1. Actually owning one seemed so far off, but now I have a Quest 2, and it's just as magical as I hoped it would be. I can't wait for the market to be as mainstream as it was in Ready Player One.

[@nickedname_2158]

i still cant get over how revolutionary this is

[@Benningway]

Great Video! Thanks for taking us with you on this journey :) Lucas seems to be a great guy and I wish him all the success.

[@Enderbro3300]

I've seen these everywhere but never really looked into it assuming it was out of my price range. But it's much cheaper and easier than I thought!! I'm gonna build one!!!

[@CrunchMaster69]

We can only wait until they are being sold to consumers without having to build them ourselves.

[@dracone4963]

But that would bring up the price of the product

[@pongchannel.]

@@dracone4963 later then sonner it'll be included with quest and other vr headsets most likely

[@winstongrandell5263]

@Wanye Smith that’s why they’re PRTOTYPES

[@MPH2210]

@Wanye Smith you literally dont see them when youre in VR??? idk what you do with the back of your hands in VR, but it doesnt sound healthy.

[@LoopX]

@Wanye SmithJesus Christ shut the fuck up i know so many people thatd buy these. because guess what YOU DONT ACTUALLY SEE YOUR GLOVES IN VR

[@jackmcculloch4368]

This is absolutely insane, we r getting closer and closer to the perfect vr experience!! its so exciting!!!

[@Cneqq]

I'm a Bachelor of IT student as well and I wish I would've known about this a year ago lol would've bought the parts and attempted it because we actually have to make a raspberry Pi project for one of our units, this would've been perfect xD [that is if this supports any microcontrollers and not just the one shown in the video].

[@prince_nox]

It's easy! All you need is several specific tools, detail electronics knowledge, a soldering iron, a 3D printer, coding and programming knowledge, etc etc and by the end I might as well just buy one of the various $200-300 pairs that are on the market already XD In all seriousness though this is sick, keep doing this awesome stuff my dudes : )

[@0neScreen]

This is EASILY the most amazing thing I have seen for VR. I am so thankful to be a part of this community, and I only wish I had the skill to contribute. I hope something like this will be available for purchase in the near future.

[@panicxpop]

I love this age of VR, whereas gears like this are only limited to the creativity of the user. I can't wait for what is to come in the next decade of VR!

[@enzoquatrone4796]

God i love seeing brazilians getting recognition for amazing stuff like this

[@clownmastery8619]

I hope when he finalizes it he can probably mass produce and sell them

[@grqfes]

nah the whole point is that its open source and you make your own, not some company selling them. ig he could sell them built for a little bit more if you just dont have the time though.

[@MrSchneides]

I am so excited for when things like this become more available!

[@6wheels4mady87]

This I for sure see being a BIG start to something amazing, that for sure so many people will enjoy and love. There's nothing like watching someone make something they have a passion for.

[@Tenchinu]

there's the PC master race... and now, there's a VR gloved Magestirial rank!

[@jasonraines7629]

Great vid! "We're gonna be best friends ... and I built you!" HAHAHA

[@keaoinu7843]

this is very poggers

[@keaoinu7843]

also FiRsT

[@MindBodyWhole]

I really loved this video mate. Great to see the passion for VR between you both an also the vibes bouncing back.

[@xero3489]

I can totally see some clean-looking, analog stick included vr gloves becoming the standard for vr in the future

[@CAPNsaveya]

Each day we are a step closer for ready player one

[@cree-meister]

"i want to make it less bulky" proceeds to add more wires than my whole gaming setup has. lol but i love the idea and realy want to see how far this goes

[@Tkdmaster1991]

I think that the design can be fine tuned to your hand size to get those wires alot shorter, it's jsut left intentially long now for ease of building and troubleshooting. Also would help to have some sort of cover for the electronics I think, which could also hide all that mess.

[@ras_krystafari3333]

For force feedback which could only Happen from cutting the bulk first

[@cree-meister]

There are a few problems I see though like what if u want to make a fist, the joystick will get in the way and u would press the buttons by accident

[@cree-meister]

Plus when your trying to move around and hold a gun in vr, your thumb will most likely either not be allowed to move that far to the joystick or will glitch into the gun and the whole thing wont work

[@usernamesnull]

Regardless where this project goes, it's shown that it can be made for cheap. And it'll probably end up forcing other consumer aimed gloves to either advance in technology, or come down in price. I'm good with both

[@SOfilmable]

You are doing such a great job for the community it's crazy. You are not only helping the Vr industry buy showing the latest games and products but also new ideas and projects like this. Encouraging and giving a platform to this young and small developer is amazing imo. My hat's off to you !! Great job men

[@Kaaliba]

Incredible video! I was desparately hoping you'd do one like this. Thank you, and I'd love to see more like this!!! ❤️
