RGB and UV on the same strip introducing the RGB UV hybrid LED strips from cable mod click on the link of the description for more info please use responsibility guys welcome back to the channel so the topic of today's video is gonna be slightly different than what I initially had planned and my first idea was going to be can you have a decent vr gaming experience for under 50 bucks and I was gonna test that out using you know a $10 Google cardboard and this $20 bluetooth gamepad that supports Android and stuff with you know maybe a pair of $10 earbuds I thought was gonna be a cool video because I don't really have much experience with mobile VR and I'm sure some of you guys might be interested in something like that but as soon as I started playing the games and actually filming the video I was getting nauseous as hell like the motion sickness was unreal not so much from the head tracking cuz I can handle that no problem but any game that required my character to actually move any character movement with the joystick it just totally made me sick to my stomach and I could not get through it for the life of me to film that video so I have since then changed the topic of today's content which is going to be can mobile VR actually scare you speaking of course about a horror VR game and the reason why I'm asking this question is because it's pretty easy to see how an oculus rift or an HTC vive could scare the living daylights out of you by playing you know a scary game on that platform because both of those VR headsets are high-end and they're backed by high-end hardware with you know awesome graphics and ninety Hertz refresh rate and things like that it's easy to really see how you could get immersed and you know scream your ass off in a scary game but does it does the experience get watered down so much with mobile VR to the point where scary games are no longer scary where it's just it's too pixelated or the refresh rates too low it takes you out of the experience altogether so I guess that's what we're gonna be experimenting with today on myself of course the game that I'm gonna be playing today is called chair in the room which does not require your care to move at all you are simply static here you're fixed in one point in the middle of a room and you just have head tracking which again does not make me nauseous by itself so we're gonna be doing that it's a it's also available on HTC vive which I have not played it on that platform nor have I ever played the mobile app version before filming this video so all the reactions that you're about to see are completely 100% genuine this has not been faked in any way you have my word one last thing I wanted to mention is that the screen recording app that I use to screencap all of the gameplay footage on my phone doesn't actually have the licensing to record in-game sound for anything later than Android 4.0 or something like that so as a result you're not going to hear any of the in-game the original in-game audio but I have replaced that awkward silence with some scary music in post-production so bear that in mind you are going to be missing out on some of the sound effects that serve as cues and and actually make it a more immersive experience for the user but with that said I'm gonna go ahead and fire this bad boy up and we're gonna see if a piece of cardboard a smartphone and some earbuds can scare the living daylights out of me Cheers okay what do I do here share the room a demo oh shit things are starting now take a look around and make yourself familiar with your surroundings don't mind if I do chargeable torch use the trigger to use it torch must be off the charge okay ah all right you're on your own yeah I figured so we're here up that's an open door oh great love it when the lights turn out that's fantastic where is that noise from I'm I'm gonna use up that's a chair those are just boxes who cares boxes you're stupid what the f is that noise if the chair if you're gonna pop out and scare me just do it already I'm ready for it I'm ready I've trained all my life oh god what the fuck no no no no no no no no what the fuck does that say lie your idea oh my god you're right you're right I shouldn't have shit on mobile VR this is scariest shit no it's fine it's really not that bad the the low refresh rate is keeping me from being fully immersed is that there before wait why the cigarette go out I don't like how slow this flashlight recharges clearly this does not support Qualcomm quick charge this is just a game where you just look just look around and get freaked out up shit liar yeah I get it all right you're triggered I understand oh fuck fuck you fuck you no no no no no no no I don't like this why are you prey ugly you're ugly child no wonder you're haunted everyone hates you and then again with the stupid the stupid sounds the stupid sense why is it those are boxes that's a thing stupid baby more boxes okay oh fuck you son of a bitch that was not there why why am I doing this why am i doing this to myself who why do people like this shit it's just stupid this is a I'm on a I'm on a phone all right there's hands in multiple places i he's got a really really wide wingspan of his hands were that far apart I don't oh god no uh-uh I could really go for that cigarette right about now oh no it's making music box noises up and now my my light went out now girls crying there's a girl crying and shit okay I hear you ah there's a lady in the wall where are you shut up you get a freakin Kleenex yo fuck fuck that shit you are not gonna like this okay wait I don't like this it's a chair in a room I just my mind I don't want to do it so I leave one thing out it's not starting rub no wait take a look around and make yourself familiar surroundings okay some boxes there it's actually make me feel a little dizzy no I hear things and the lights not turning on all right right now I'm gonna put this battery pack in your lap huh it works did she go oh my gosh okay there's a creepy doll right there okay oh my god okay I'm done playing without playing this stupid game fucking evil no no please stop I want to cry right now what I don't want to even trim it here's the crying coming from alright so there you guys have it I actually wasn't planning to have wifey sauce be in the video she just happened to walk in the room when I was filming at the right time or at the wrong time but pretty cool that we actually got her reaction in there as well so if you're still asking yourself can mobile VR be scary all right so some closing words before we wrap this up I did want to mention that I was using a samsung galaxy s6 for this test which technically has a higher resolution per eye than the oculus rift I believe it's 1440 by 1080 per eye on this phone which is slightly higher so resolution is there however that's really not a huge factor when it comes to VR so much as the fluidity or the refresh rate of the image so the picture I was getting here with 60 Hertz as opposed to 90 Hertz on a high-end VR headset which definitely takes a it's a huge difference it's a huge difference that really can take you out of the experience itself and can make you a little bit more nauseous quite easily unfortunately I wasn't experiencing that with chair in a room however I was for sure with with other games as I had mentioned so that's probably the biggest drawback I would say with mobile VR right now is getting that refresh rate higher but I think it's probably not gonna be long before we see phones with 90 Hertz refresh rate specifically for mobile VR I think without VR there would probably be no need to have a refresh rate on a phone that high at least not so immediately so I think the right ingredients are there just needs a little bit more time to catch up to speed where you can have a really solid VR experience on your smartphone the other thing that's a huge proponent to VR is audio and that's often overlooked but it's just so important to drawing you in which is why Nvidia and AMD are so hard at work at their own VR audio initiatives and the sound experience that I had in cheran room was pretty much on par with anything I've had on the HTC vive for example so that really allowed me to get immersed into the atmosphere and quite frankly it allowed me to get scared so like I said I think there is huge potential here for mobile VR I kind of am more of a believer in it now than I was before doing this little experiment the last thing I will say is that the headset itself for $10 who Google cardboard is quite a steal however it's not the most comfortable obviously it's not going to endure much of your sweats and things like that and it's also got a lot of like light bleed from underneath the nose piece the nose bridge which can kind of be rectified I actually put some like paper towel and some foam for my sweat and stuff there's little things you can do however there's a bunch of other mobile VR headsets out there that are much we're comfortable and solve a lot of these problems with the cardboard of course you're gonna pay a little bit more for those as well but that is gonna do it for now guys thank you so much for tuning in let me know what you think of mobile VR this experiment the whole shindig in the comments below be sure to toss me a like on
