hey what's going on everyone I'm Jeff Bakalar from the CES show floor how often am I gonna find the two worlds that I love the most hockey and Technology collide like never so I'm obviously gonna check out the only sign of hockey at CES 2019 the technology is called sense arena and they're a company that wants to brain train professional hockey players or people who want to have that look at being a professional hockey bear by training them in various exercises using VR so I'm gonna try this I want to know how the tech works and I'm just gonna play it because let's be honest I'm probably the most qualified person on earth to test the thing that involves hockey and Technology who else on earth is better qualified than me exactly all right let's go see what's available when you accept that pass it is wild it feels good it's a little bouncier than what a normal what a normal puck will do but it's pretty cool wow this is a good goalie so where this works is it sort of similar to a vibe setup you need to have sensors around the room that you're playing and what they did was they added a specialized sensor drilled it into the hockey stick so sticks feel a little heavier than they should which I guess is a good thing because maybe you want to improve your ratchet time of the heavier stick but regardless those two things that and the headset work in tandem can make it feel like you're actually on ice shooting a puck so it's tough to really judge the accuracy you have this kind of thing but when I did accept the pass it felt real I could I feel like I could do this forever there it is that was awesome man I got my workout this week yeah I missed my game but not this one this is what I look like when I take my helmet off too so I guess that's fair alright so there you have it I did the sense arena training hopefully I'm a smarter faster hockey player I sure as hell sweated as much as a real hockey player I have to shower thanks for watching oh wow it's like a real big arena that's pretty awesome
