okay so here's an interesting development it's raining right now in Vegas it rains about two inches a year so we're gonna get exactly this amount same amount of precipitation in the next couple of days while we're here rain rain go away Nixon alright guys so we're finally here it's still serious let's go check out some other cool stuff over here so big sign and really exciting new Mouse that they're launching the SteelSeries rival 600 so I've actually had it for a couple weeks and I can say that it is pretty fine mouse so the cool thing about this one is its integrating a new sensor that's sole purpose is to detect the liftoff distance and that means they can fine-tune it to a point where if you're not exactly happy with you know if you move your mouse a little bit too much high up and it you know it changes the the cursor movement when you place it back down this will solve all your problems and it's actually yeah it works really well a few things that are kind of unique about the mouse is these modular grips so they pop out to reveal some really interesting weight modification system so you can install weights along the mouse and you can install them on both sides so it kind of cool to really customize the way how it feels and stuff and this really awesome little rubberized pouch that holds the weights now you're gonna have to see my full review on it they're just going up on Wednesday so make sure to check it out I'll leave the links on it below when it goes live but yeah there's still serious rival 600 can I reveal the price sorry I can't reveal the price just yet but what I can't reveal are our sponsors thanks to faint exclu master and Corsair for making this trip possible okay so now let's talk about the steel series of the our lab we're showing off some of the concepts that you would normally not expect for a peripheral company to come out but it's actually pretty interesting and so let's talk about this thing so this is a concept it's a prototype but it's their work they're calling it this still serious Sentinel and it's a motion sensor who knew that peripheral companies would come up with something like this but they are placing it in there we are sort of sphere of products but it's a motion sensor that will be able to communicate via this other Bluetooth hub so once you pass it I'll be able to send either a message on to your desktop that somebody has passed emotion infection and that's actually pretty cool because with integration of launching specific apps for example that would be sweet where you pass by your office and certain apps pop up on the screen or the lights turn on and you know we recommended some support the Google home or the Nano leaf stuff because Nana Lee is supported the SteelSeries engine and that means that let's say you pass on the motion detection detects that there is something there and it turns the Nana Lee to a specific color it turns them on or whatever so customization options are pretty cool and I'm really excited for this thing and the actual finished product or the what they want the finished product to look like looks like a little little webcam thing that you can probably attach to something that will have battery life of like three to four months and it's Bluetooth oriented and customization hopefully is on point all right so moving into their VR lab being further so one of the things that SteelSeries is trying to do right now is bring in the keyboard into your virtual environment something that hasn't been done really with the mouse it's not really a mystery because you just have it with one hand and you know exactly where it where it goes but with the keyboard it would be cool to have like one to one you know render and actually seeing your hands or some modeling so you can interact with the keyboard and virtual reality and you don't want to be no put out of that virtual reality by seeing like a really crappy image out of the webcam but what SteelSeries are doing they're actually integrating the webcam into detecting where your hands are and basically cancelling out any anything other than your hands and therefore they can model the keyboard in 3d space using this guy you know by 3d tracker which was placed beside the the keyboard and then they can use the webcam to actually detect your hands and you can see where your hands are in virtual reality where the keyboard is actually so you get that really good sense of scale and you can interact with the keyboard and virtual reality just like you would in real life and the second thing they're also showing out here it's also relatable to the keyboard because they obviously want the keyboard to be replaced in virtual reality is this little camera so this camera detects where your hands are below the keyboard and it models your hands in virtual reality with these like stick fingers and stick hands so you can basically maneuver your hands around and because of this camera placement it knows where your fingers are it knows where the keyboard is and it also gives you a really good representation on having that sort of interaction of keyboard and mouse and physically seeing your hands that are modeled after these like stick stick figures and so I think it's a cool approach towards bringing the keyboard side things into the virtual reality because we haven't really seen anything like it and between the two approaches between using the webcam and actually showing you where your hands are and they're just cancelling out the noise in the background versus modeling your hands I think it's a it's gonna be maybe they're onto something but I don't own the wife and I don't use the vibe in virtual reality so for those that do what do you think about this sort of concept showcase obviously these are really further really far ahead and development but I'm hoping that they're actually onto something and not just trying to you know give us some extra content here okay guys so that's it for still series make sure to stay tuned for that rival 600 you and let me know what you think about all that vr stuff cuz I'm really curious to see what you guys think about it you know I don't own the VR thing so yeah thanks so much for watching I'll see you next video
