if there were two words there on the lips of most tech enthusiasts it's how much you hate iOS and/or Android and virtual reality you can't go any or about virtual reality being thrown at you it is the buzzword du jour and it's still very much in its infant stages but each year the best and brightest in the VR world meet in downtown Los Angeles elebrate the greatest in VR at VRLA so since it's in our backyard we decided to check it out although I still think VRLA should be able to just strap on a virtual reality headset and go while sitting in your chair we're not quite there yet as virtual reality matures there was a huge push early on to make the visual stunning if it didn't look good you weren't gonna believe that you're actually there an audio is mostly just strapped on a pair of headphones but now VR audio was coming and that was a huge emphasis at the show so what is VR audio so as you're watching this video turn your head to the left and you're gonna hear the audio kind of strong around your right ear turn the other way over here coming stronger out of your left ear that's what companies are trying to simulate so when you pair this new VR audio with VR videos it creates the really immersive experience that we've always imagined a virtual reality could be so the biggest name in sound was there to showcase VR audio and that was of course Dolby they're trying to bring their add most technology to the virtual reality world if you ever been to a theater that has Dolby Atmos you'll know how drastically different that sounds doable once you have that same experience that you put on your headphones and strap on the goggles but Dobby wasn't the only folks there Skullcandy was also there with a huge presence they filled the new crusher VR a headphone of course be our eighth inning for virtual reality audio these have been designed entirely with virtual reality in mind they've got custom drivers designed by Skullcandy to deliver haptic bass the intensity can be controlled through the passive touchpad on the side of the ear cup and when they eventually come to market at some point they're also gonna feature pretty badass battery life for 29 hours rechargeable battery and be totally Wireless they had a really cool demonstration to show it off they had VR audio that we visualized showing the power of the headphones still development when they come out they should retail for around 300 bucks of course if you want us to test them let us know and we'll put him through the paces so aside from D our audio there's a ton of other really cool stuff to see Skullcandy was also hosting the world's first vr rave J was performing using a virtual reality interface developed by the way VR so instead of just picking on some records or hitting playing a playlist it was all done using virtual reality if you wanted to get even more into the rave you can put on a backpack that was synced if the music's you could actually feel the bass and experience the visuals through VR headsets that you wore as well and they also have a gigantic LED display behind a DJ but hands down the coolest thing that we saw was mine rides air flow flight simulator if you ever watched like Superman and you've been like damn I wish I could fly like that they suspended you midair Mission Impossible style made fans blowing all over you put an oculus headset and you pretty much took flight you could zoom around mountains it's just an incredible experience that for me showcase the best of what virtual reality could be if you like your domes either big iron or thunder you'll be pretty happy with what HP and Radeon did the NS here did 60 degree projector dome and it's exactly what it sounds like they invited everyone to lay down on a beanbag kick up your feet relax and look up at the short film that's a pretty famous artist Android Jones created it looked like you were going through a nebula then a dragon appeared looks like you took a lot of things that are probably illicit and illegal and then you walked out to the real world so virtual reality is super cool but vert reality right now requires you to be tethered into a computer or wires to be somewhere a company called dr arcade which they are showing off a completely wireless VR system a demo kind of an old western style game where you could just shoot bad guys they popped up it design different places like arcades those are still a thing that exists you've been family entertainment centers which I don't know those exist anymore that's probably just sitting on the couch it's a ton of other really cool stuff at the r-la and they had a 3d LED TV they had ten developer showing off at the future of VR is going to be and when I left he's gotten to my real life car and drove home a real-life world which I could strap on a headset fly watch a dragon nebula guy and just relaxing for triology so we are super new and still very strange to experience what do you guys think about the yard you think it really is the future is it gonna go the way of 3d TVs like oh that's something cool that I'm never going to buy it looks like VR seems to be here to stay but I want to know your thoughts on it if you are a VR fan and mash that thumbs up button and let us know I am John Randy from TechnoBuffalo and I will virtually see in the next video
