What is VR? An Introduction to Virtual Reality

VR is great because it can bring people together and make you feel like you are in a whole other world.

I've never tried VR but I find it so interesting and impressive, It's important for the future as a tool or an entertainment. It feels good to have a channel which keeps me in touch with the news about it! Keep doing the great work!

Welcome to VR

[@truenatural20]

I showed my grandmother this video to explain it to her. She understood it, but she also complimented your eyes.

[@SuperSonic68]

I think one thing to note about VR and the internet in general is that there is no distinction between "the real world" and "the digital world." VR is PART of "the real world," just like everything else. The people that you talk to in VR are real people in 'the real world," just like you are.

[@cornwallboy9261]

I love this channel so much, I’ve been watching for months now

[@hughmac7423]

I've been in to VR for almost 4 years, and VR is important to me because it provides a way to get out, as I'm nearly 60 and was a bit too reckless when I was in my 20's and 30's and I'm somewhat physically broken now, so it gives me a way to continue to be adventurous, without hurting myself. The only think I find frustating is the latest head sets have a max IPD of 68 to 70mm, and I'm 74mm, so visually not so comfortable.

[@ZukaGG]

My first experience with virtual reality was just utter excitement. I instantly decided to buy one without any thought.

[@taso8774]

I haven't tried VR yet- I have a headset coming in the mail tomorrow though. I never knew that VR headsets provided a 3d effect to what you're seeing though. That sounds really exciting. I just imagined it was mostly a flat image.

[@Carles-ig7bb]

Oh boy you are going to be suprised, as soon as you turn that bad boy on you'll begin your amazing vr journey, i won't spoil anything tho, I hope you have tons of fun :D

[@underflip2]

You will be surprised of how immersive it is. It’s amazing

[@darthbuzzer781]

Think of VR as if you just apply a (lower fidelity) polygon filter over reality, just like night vision goggles but instead of green imagery, you see the colors of the game.

[@SuperSonic68]

You're getting a VR headset tomorrow and you didn't even know that it's 3D? Wow. You are going to have a heck of a time. Take it slow and steady, okay? VR is exciting, but it's important to pace yourself with tamer experiences before getting into the crazy ones. Welcome to the VR party.

[@-_Jayden_-]

Congratulations! You just joined the device of the future. Remember tho to carefully go into VR so you can get used to it . Sole people may have motionsickness in too immersive games because of the locomotion. You can still overcome it with exercises if you will ever face the problem

Advice his I am am a psvr user and am getting a oculus quest 2 1: if starter DO NOT USE WALKING IF OPTION US TELEPORT and then if you feel ready go ahead I made the mistake of skyrim vr 2: if you won't use it a lot get psvr if you have ps4 if not get and oculus quest 2 3: advice best to use at 12

[@Halo-oh8ws]

You do realize most parents don’t let their child use a vr at 12, also you can use walking with the joysticks, that’s why they make them. Most games you can just sit down to play it.

[@GaminwithGamers]

@@Halo-oh8ws he knows you walk with the analog sticks, he is sayings don’t try walking using the analog sticks because you will make yourself sick so use the teleporting.

[@thefishinggamekeeper5713]

I'll be honest, never really understood the appeal of VR. I recently got a friend a vr headset and kinda want to get one myself. This video helped a lot in understanding the reason for people to own VR headsets and play VR too. Is very nice to see and know. Who knows, might give it a shot. Thanks.

[@josephgore1138]

[@supernova42069]

How is vr?

[@Krayfishkarl]

Why I think VR matters? I truly believe it's the future and the next frontier. A headset is like a key that allows you to explore strange new worlds and to conceptualize the impossible. We're not necessarily bound by the laws of the physical world to imagine new ideas. A fantasy made real. VR is like a dream that doesn't disappear when you wake up. It's an ever persistent companion world that we can constantly go back to. I believe we've only scratched the surface and within the next few years, it'll be a time of leaps and bounds of discoveries. We might even make new life-changing discoveries from VR that we initially didn't think were related. Like how traditional video games lead to a lot of advancements in medical technology, VR can certainly become the next groundbreaking thing. More importantly than ever with the whole pandemic thing going on, where other technological advancements would have stalled, VR is thriving. It's something that's bringing us together in times of both prosperity and hardship.

[@XMegaJuni]

If I have bad vision, does that hinder how well it works on me? O_O

[@PipimiOden]

depends on if you wear glasses or not, but i did find this thing called "vr lens lab"

[@renookami4651]

Some companies produce prescription lenses. It's an added cost but the solution exist. You can also try VR while wearing contacts, but keep eye-drops nearby and don't forget to take breaks. Playing while wearing glasses may work for some, but can be unconfortable compared to using propper prescription lenses in the machine instead.

[@danielhughes3758]

Depends on what type of bad vision you have. The screen is super close to your eyes, so if you see well up close then I don't think there should be any issues. I see poorly at longer distance so I don't want to go outside without my glasses, but at home and also when playing in VR I generally don't wear glasses or contacts

[@GaminwithGamers]

The lenses make the screen viewing around 6 inches from your face so if you are near sighted up to that distance you will probably be fine, i personally used glasses for vr for a year and its not a bad option you just have to make sure your glasses will fit before you buy and you also gotta make sure the lenses never touch each other or you could scratch your headsets lenses or even your glasses

[@-_Jayden_-]

Im nearsighted and i dont need glasses to see everything smoothly in VR. Imagine you are sitting right in front of your computer. Usually people dont need glasses there either because its close

[@CasualObserVR]

Nicely done. This is a great video for the newbies x

[@OfficialDJSoru]

I'm so tempted about sending this to my dad since he had to make a trailer for a vr project I was doing in college and he thought the graphics were... well... shit (pixelated to hell and back, I was likely capturing at less than 720p internal resolution), but that's not surprise considering I ran out of time to optimize it and the capture ran on an Asus SCAR II (meaning the CPU heated so much it thermal throttled my laptop to the point scenes that used to give me 60 FPS were giving me 15!) I hope he won't be put off by your trademark intro, Phia.

I’m having a blast just exploring VRChat. I’m so excited to see them intergrade AR and maybe even holograms to make VR even more effective. I really think it’s the future- combing them all- at least until Neuralink finishes the dead legacy professor from CLUs project- 😬

In 2017 I got my psvr and then in 2019 I got my quest but now I’m thinking about getting a HTC vive or a valve index so here’s the big question: which one do I get because I want to get one of the high end headsets but I don’t what is better or any of the pros and cons

[@teamextreme86]

I got the rift 1 3 days ago and have been playing about 18-30 mins play time depending on tittle , I'm still working on my vr legs , today I had a dream I was in a vr game and when I woke up I felt sick lol 😆 I can't quit tho my 12 year old loves vr and he don't get sick :(

[@kipper_bronson]

I started VR with Rift-S. Its good don't get me wrong but the field of view kills it for me. I'm thinking of getting the Index. Would you recommend the Index and just how good is the field of view? Many thanks

[@lightweight1889]

Tried CardboardVR, unimpressed, gimmicky. Tried 6dof PCVR (Beat saber). Yeah, it's nice and all to be able to see everything around you, but it doesn't "feel" real or even immersive at all. The stereocopic effect (3D) is sure present, but barely noticeable when busy playing. After 20 minutes or so I still don't feel like INSIDE a game, maybe at a theme park/arcade... I'd say it's more fun than playing with mouse and keyboard, but don't expect anything mind-blowing. It's kinda like the difference between a motorcycle (classic gaming) and a car (VR, 6dof), while nice people tell you you're hopping onto a plane. Maybe we're just not there yet and it'd suddenly become a true next-gen medium once we have VR-Setups with 400Hz 8k/eye full body tracking, electric sensory stimulation suits available for the consumer market, it's just not good enough. 1280x1440 per eye just looks worse than a cheap monitor. Couldn't imagine how PS3 graphics (PSVR) could be of any use lol. "VR is cheap, you can get a good Windows Mixed Reality Headset for less than 2 Benjamins." That's true, IF you live in the US. Otherwise prices bloat uncontrollably. Prepare to spend at least 1.200 euros for PC and headset. And no, you don't have to spend 1k on the PC. A basic system is enough(Maybe 300-400), put the remaining few hundred bucks into the best GPU that budget allows.

@@renookami4651 just being silly, no need to take is literally

[@gyroninjamodder]

@@renookami4651 Current game graphics probably have already surpassed what SAO had. It's more of just that the game needs to be made / a market needs to exist to make creating the game worth it. I also seem to remember something about how the anime looked better to the viewers that what the people in SAO saw, but I could be wrong.

[@renookami4651]

@@gyroninjamodder Sure, but perfection isn't needed anyway. Unless allergic to anime and comics, lots of people don't mind stylised design. Plus it's easier to make visually striking worlds and fun game mechanics when not bound by the limits of realism.

Do you know how many vr videos and podcasts I consumed before the 3D aspect was mentioned. A lot. It's something vr folks take for granted in the way one expects a tv to display in color but it's something marketing never mentions. I finally heard about in a discussion about Bigscreen and even then wasn't sure if it was just a movie thing or not. I think a lot of people of vr as a tv taped to their eyes.

[@cjlite0210]

I'm confused So what is going on is that every now and then I wake up in a strange and unrealistic world It's gritty and the physics are very strange, because when I try to go through something, I can't, and instead hurt myself. Also, I lose my power to transform into other forms, and I can't find my travel medallion anywhere I believe I am dreaming, although it feels real. I really need someone's help to figure out what is going on When I am in my world, strange things happen. Everyone around me say stuff that I don't understand, like VeeAre and OckYouLust, and when I ask them what they mean, try think I'm crazy. They also have the ability to transform like me, which is odd since I was the only one who was able to do that. Also, if I touch a mirror, it tries to swallow me, pulling me into this strange limbo state. All of this only started happening recently, about a year ago, I think.
