I made Ready Player One in REAL LIFE! - THE ULTIMATE VR SETUP

Today we dive into a video that has been on my mind and in the words for a LONG time. For the first time I put together all of the world's craziest VR hardware that anyone can purchase and recreated the setup found in Ready Player One's books/ movie.

Super high resolution VR Headset: Varjo XR3
Omnidirection Treadmill: Katwalk C
Bhaptics Full body haptics
VRFree Gloves ( stopped working really early on)
Celia Scent module
Full Body Tracking vs TundraTrackers
And more-

All I have to say is.. I don't think we're quite ready for this.

i hope this becomes a yearly series with slowly upgrading each piece of tech to show how far we are coming.

Thrill, I just want to add up one thing.
You said "It failed as a proof of concept". But worked brilliantly as exactly that - proof of concept. You assembled everything together and it worked to the level you were trying to achieve. It doesn't matter at all if the software was not working together, it doesn't matter if some hardware parts were falling off during it - you were trying to prove that this is possible, this can be done with some time and dedication, maybe even to an easy to set up and use extend. All the "ifs" are out of the question when you just try to show "this is possible". And your results are astonishing

[edwardmartin]

Dude you’re literally prototyping the future of the vr experience. Pushing the boundaries and recording the results. You’re applying the scientific method to vr. A VR Researcher.

Man that’s deep. It’s absolutely true that this may be too much for people to handle. Even In Ready Player One, nobody wanted to leave their houses because virtual reality is everything everybody wanted.

[AceyMangoFR]

to be truly honest, ThrillSeeker goes through all of the problems and pain and thousands of dollars worth of bills to show us this, to prove something, and does a great job at that. Not just doing it but also presenting it towards us, and I think needs more credit for this. unbelievably good job ThrillSeeker, we cannot thank you more.

This is absolutely insane and if legitimate companies see this I sincerely hope they just start massively collabing/competing on VR compatibility standards.

[Natethechamp]

Man that's cool, so basically you're saying the biggest issue is lack of content and device compatibility with haptics and other accessories. Either way, seeing how much the big companies are getting into vr, ar and mixed, it seems those problems won't be around much longer if the companies actually want to expand vr

[Yukkiiscollection]

It’s crazy to think if companies really put everything into vr we could have the oasis. If you yourself can do it imagine what a large team could accomplish.

Thank for all the hard work in putting this video together. So exciting to see what the future could potentially hold

[TheNucaKola]

Even though it had its hangups, the fact that it all cohesively worked for even just a few minutes is a huge success in my opinion. You took baby steps so others may walk or even run in the future with this tech! Great work! 👍

[Emppaxis]

Thrillseeker: pioneer of the virtual future. Mega props to actually giving this a go just to see how far we can currently get.
Fantastic video. I kind of hope this is one of those things where we look back at this video and go "wow look how rough things used to be".
VR already has come a long way since my original janky controllerless Devkit 2 that I had to directly load games into before wearing.
More than anything I hope we see a renaissance in VR content though. I think the tech is a matter of time if there's stuff to engage with in the hardware.

7:33 I think this is a perfectly plausible reaction considering how Avatar starts. Jake is put into the body of the Na’vi, acknowledges his existence in it for a moment, and sprints out the door. Stops to smell the air, dig his toes into the ground, pure bliss. Granted he was excited to have working legs again but. Close enough

[troydorr]

I absolutely love what you're doing for VR industry! You give a 100% unbiased reviews past, present and, future of VR gaming. Why, you don't have at least a million subscribers is beyond me!
Keep up the good work! It's an awesome channel! 🤘

[gusofwind]

Have fallen in love with vr the past couple year so cool to see how far it has come. can’t wait to see what the future brings

[TheRealMiniIsHere]

I call this a success, why?
- Took several pieces of hardware that were made by several companies without thinking about one another working together.
- Modded and added programs and probably more to get things working with the hardware.
- You even took glitches and bugs and found a quick fix and work around.
- Got everything working even for a short time being close to Ready Player One without the full prepared and ready for games, out of the box tech.

You're one of the first or maybe only to experience the closeness of Ready Player One.

[tr]

Yep, we need VR protocols. Just like the internet.

[InTheMindOfficial]

I'm not even a minute in and this already looks fucking AMAZING

[descendedwolf]

I am really enjoying seeing The progression of VR through your videos, It makes me hopeful that the world can take VR and use it for good.

[emiplays]

This is fascinating! Thank you for doing this video and experiment! I did an interview with a local VR gaming arcade and they showed me their most immersive setup and it was pretty amazing but I could see we're still a ways from total immersion but not TOO far away. From a guy that was present and played the commodore and Atari and dreamed of a real Holodeck this is all just....WOW
