Thank You Squarespace for sending us to CES 2016 this year check out their link in the video description down below alright guys we're talking about the Auris VR backpack this thing's pretty sick it works with the Auris x7 DT which has a desktop 980 in it so it should be pretty powerful the demo that they used here today was battlefield but ok ok what the what what is this thing for a while now people have been doing really ghetto ass sludgy solutions for being able to run like a desktop rag off of their back or even a laptop with like a chopped-up backpack or something so that they could play VR with the rig mounted on their back this helps in a lot of ways it makes it so that you're more mobile and it also makes it so that the cable isn't a problem which is really annoying if you want to be moving around for your VR experience this thing's pretty cool it's fairly easy to strap the laptop in the whole unit with the laptop and the backpack is only three and a half pounds so it weighs like basically nothing when it's on your back there's a chest strap which keeps it locked in place nice and tight there's pouches on the side of the belt which I actually didn't try on this extended belt thing but that's fine the the one pouch is to hold the controller there having ideas that maybe in the future they'll be able to mount a semi curved battery on the back so you can have extended battery life on your laptop and then for the touch controllers that'll later be coming for the oculus they're thinking of having little holsters for the touch controllers this is pretty sick but there are some problems like for instance when we look at the gun they were playing battlefield so this was one of the things that you aimed with be gun and the headset controls where you looked so it was kind of weird because if you look to the left and move the gun to the left instead of having your screen just look to the left a little bit it did both of those movements meaning that it totaled two like here so it felt a little unnatural when you're playing but I don't actually think that's the problem of the backpack that's just some other things that need to step up and get to that level now there's some things that they can help with this as well it's a standing experience but you don't move because there's no tracking for your legs so I was playing battlefield and just using the little thumb stick controller on the gun to actually move around which is not ideal but if you use something like a vibe this might be a much better solution or if you have a connect set up so that you can actually see what your legs are doing so there's actually any point to be standing at all then that's pretty cool this is still an early revision the rift isn't out yet the vibe isn't out yet so obviously this doesn't really need to be oh yeah that's fine there's some things that are gonna be changing one of them hopefully my suggestion is that they're gonna open up the compatibility for laptops in the back maybe with velcro straps to tie things down or whatever yeah more aureus laptops would be great more laptops in general would be great as well because the more things that work with this the more other people are gonna try to make things that also work with this that aren't necessarily laptops which is super super important wearing it felt very comfortable and all it really made me want was more of these things and a bunch of dudes and basically what you'd think of as laser tag but an actual video game in like a laser tag arena because that would be super freakin awesome to run around with VR headsets and play laser tag essentially but have it look like Battlefield that would be super cool it's a relatively simple concept but I think they kind of nailed it let me know what you guys think in the comments down below and thank you to Squarespace for sending us here to 20 CES 2016 if you want to set up a website a simple website for something like maybe a VR arcade where people wear backpacks with laptops on them and shoot each other with fake guns that would be great you could do that on Squarespace you can set up a commerce module so people could buy tickets to your thing relatively easily you can use our template so it looks really good even if you're not a very aesthetically tuned person and if you have any problems with that there's live chat support and 24/7 email support whatever you need hit up Squarespace ww Squarespace comm slashed lioness and use offer code lioness to get 10% off Squarespace build it beautiful stay subscribed alliance tech tips to see all of our CES 2016 content I'll catch you guys next time
