looks like there's a little tape on the box virtual reality right you've experimented with it you may have experienced it in some form maybe it was Google cardboard maybe it was a more elaborate headset but listen there's a lot of criticism some people just get fired up and they're not into it but part of that has to do with suboptimal experiences certainly at first exposure where people like dragging around can't load the thing can't get the resolution that they want and so on and so on listen it's growing pains it's not there yet but one of the things that keeps a lot of people away is this feeling of nauseousness this company over here where allottee sky I mean that's the name of their product here the companies where ality they're attempting to provide a more natural virtual reality is there such a thing no not really but through increasing the field of view the goal here is to give you a more realistic maybe less jarring less enclosed version of VR and it's all supposed to happen right here now you're still using the cardboard app you're still playing around with whatever's available in in the VR spectrum on your smartphone right now which obviously isn't everything but you clip into here you have a few experiences and maybe you see VR like you haven't before mobile 3d headset with super wide field-of-view it features an open lightweight and foldable design it's less claustrophobic that's the game plan I don't know how big the impact is gonna be let's do it need one is these some wow you see that sometimes you need one of these who don't play with knives kids don't play with knives this immediately looks a lot different a lot different than any other VR type of goggles lock your phone in there install a cardboard app yeah a scan a QR and they want you to get started with VR rollercoaster great this guys what's gonna hold the phone I assume whoa whoa whoa uh Jack this must be for extended sessions that's like a GoPro mount oh man this is this is to mount it on your head that's gonna be a good look isn't it it slides in like this is actually pretty easy now of course you're gonna have dual images okay now I need the cue are successfully paired not that many people actually go out and get headsets it's the kind of thing you got to dive in that's it I'm gonna start with roller-coaster number one oh oh baby oh man these roller coaster ones man do you feel it in your stomach isn't that what you want you want to feel oh yeah oh my oh maybe if I went on a real roller coaster I'd be a disaster as well at this point in my life the equilibrium is off certainly me gives you a great view they're not lying is a super wide field-of-view but it's doing nothing to circumvent the fact that my body's telling me one thing in my mind is that for like an R&B song the body says one thing but jihad says no darling I'm making dinner for you tonight I mean is it all that different I guess you got a lot of accessories if you want to wear the thing I kind of like the fact that you're not completely closed off so many of these devices like this are really for the purpose of experimenting with VR they're not meant to be on your face every day one of the things holding VR back is that many people can't Behrman or experience it at all and don't necessarily want to go out and get a PlayStation VR headset or an oculus rift and spend a boatload of money so you end up in this territory what's cool about this is it can work as a headset but also just as a quick viewer I don't know man VR is weird it's kind of like any emerging technology where it's like the technology goes out into the world and then humans have to figure out how to make it good or how to make it work while you guys probably know I didn't experiment recently with three separate 360 video videos if you haven't seen that yet you might want to go back and check it out just to kind of get an idea that said even that experiment isn't exactly perfect because the vast majority of you who interacted with that weren't in any kind of headset at all to a certain extent people want to watch stuff to be lazy to be a vegetable right to vet you know you should see Jack when he's watching so I mean the man is foaming at the mouth I talked about this with people in the past regarding like Nintendo we remember when a Nintendo Wii came out everybody lost their mind they're like Oh play tennis now what happened huh human beings did what human beings do what just want to get back to that couch I think the type of VR experience that's gonna move things push things is one really plays to that component the idea that we just want to be a passenger people want to be less involved they don't want to be physically jumping around and moving around for the most part this is a very antisocial kind of scenario right somebody comes over to your place too late Lou I heard the games on let's have a beer man that's always been my favorite part of video games in general socializing a little bit around it the relevance of technology still at some point comes back to its interactivity with people and that's a place that VR has no clue how to operate right now it doesn't fit very easily into that world into that social sphere the real world keeps calling and I'm here to pick up that phone
