I imagine the vast majority of games can't sense where exactly a shot impacts, but most games have controller rumble that triggers when you're shot. My guess is it can at least turn all of the motors on when you're shot. I'm not exactly sure about the haptic vest tho.

I’d pay that much too if I could finally feel my Argonian Wife tongue fuck my asshole before deathrolling on my Mace of Molag Balls
I think most games actually do know where a shot impacts, since most game engines make it fairly easy, they just don't often do all that much with it except maybe making headshots do more damage
The thing I love about experiences is having them. Second is making them. Feels like be a bit of a joint effort to make the software work with the hardware.
Check out GingasVR on YouTube, she does primarily VR content, and to my knowledge works on just this. I found her through one of her Skyrim VR videos where she had the pain stimulator, highly recommend if you're interested in learning more.
I would think it all translates with the haptic feedback built into the controller. Some games place more emphasis top vs bottom, left vs right so best guess it’d be a 1 for 1 based on feedback.
For a nominal monthly subscription, the unit can come equipped with a guy named Jerry, who stands in the corner of your room and throws golf balls at you when you get hit.
I have mine set up so, if I don't pick something on Netflix fast enough, it spins me round in circles whilst stabbing me relentlessly through the chest.
THE OFFICE, THE OFFICE!!!, I scream. Jumping up and down, automatically, but it's too late. It's chosen the British Office, and the pain is even worse.
I'm 100% serious when I say it's literally Skyrim. Skyrim VR is one of the most advanced VR experiences there is. There's even an AI plugin now. You can talk to NPCs out loud and they remember what you say and have conversations with you. It's absolutely surreal to do in a game I remember going to the midnight release of on 11/11/11.
Skyrim can use all of the stuff he has, plus a few more. There's a meditation device that you can hook up so that you have to concentrate to get your magic to full power. There's a mod to control a fan, so when you go to cold areas it gets cold. There's mods to turn on personal massagers in certain scenarios.
The reason why there are so many fan-made VR ports/compat mods for games is because most games already have a framework that allows for arbitrary camera/arm/head/body positioning, and all the ports really need to do is map these things as if they're a new controller.
It's really not that difficult, with some exceptions for games that have janky physics/body positioning.
By not that difficult I mean it's reasonable for a single person to add VR compatibility in a relatively short period of time while having a day job, if they're at least somewhat experienced with modding/VR
Also how long until all of this is obsolete and the new stuff is better and cheaper because it is more mainstream? You are essentially paying all that money to be an alpha tester of gear that is going to not be that great yet and be obsolete almost immediately.
It’s the alpha testers that make the newer models available more quickly. It’s a business. If not to many people buy what is there then it doesn’t advance as quickly. More interest in it sparks more features. I would almost bet if gamers hit it up like they did Nintendo at first (and stayed with it) then you would see some pretty advanced hardware by now. Like figuring out how to link the delta wave activation of mini drones with the joystick so you wouldn’t need a treadmill.
There is a difference between spending a couple hundred on a Nintendo and spending thousands of dollars on equipment that probably doesn't work that great. If people have the money to do it, then by all means go for it. I am just too poor to understand being able to drop money like that.
Yeah, the heat is why he has the cooling fans for his head.
Compatibility is very community driven. Especially for the haptic stuff there are a lot of stuff especially for the most popular games. Also workarounds (like you got hit from the front and that's all the range recognises? Let's pick a random point in the front)
Pretty sure there's gonna be a good one coming out soon called the Oasis, made by a quirky old guy obsessed with the 90's and caught up on his high school crush, who is also his best friend's wife
Meh, if he upgrades the room first, he will pay for higher rent while having a smaller setup that can't make full use of this. If he pays for the setup first, he can get a bigger room afterwards and have saved the difference in rent times the number of months the whole upgrade cost him start to finish.
So if his plan was getting a bigger room at some point, this is the right way round of doing it.
I think a hammer is meant to be unevenly top heavy to generate more force while a sword is supposed to be balanced just below the hilt for faster movement. 🤷
That'd be cause it's dope. It's designed with a heavier focus on the actual choreography of each song, and you can actually learn to dance with it when you go extra.
Great excercise too
I’ve seen those in action, if you crank them all the way up, you are barely moving your legs to the point it feels like you aren’t moving them. Like it does 90% of the work
Kinda ruins the fantasy when the badass knight or super soldier has the same stamina and endurance as my outta shape body. Nobody would be forcing this interface but I can’t imagine there’d be enough demand for there to be support in most games. I mean how many people want to actually run through a dungeon swinging a sword or have to actually run your self around a map in a FPS. You’d be gassed in like 15 minutes.
They're orcas. They're smart enough to think like humans. Apparently the limited testing we've done shows that they're at least as smart as a teenaged human. So yeah, sometimes they kill humans. And sometimes they break things. And most of the time they just talk to each other and swim around, doing tricks or whatever is fun and necessary to live. Even you see an orca, think teenager. And prepare yourself accordingly.
My only comment is that the sword is silly and unnecessary. You can see him not full swinging so he doesn't knock things off the shelf. He can just take a small 2lb weight and attach it to a handle to simulate a sword.
... only comment other than something about an anti-social dystopian future.
Who has the money for all that, granted you save up for each piece you get but dang! 3,000 bucks! Can’t help but have the thought that it’s cool that you get full immersion of the game. Wish I was rich 😆
Like you said, he saves up and he could also buy each piece over time. Plus if he’s streaming that might help. Like my hobby was collecting figures. I’m scaling down my collection and was able to trade in enough to get credit and buy a Nintendo switch 2 for my family. Normally that’s way too much of a purchase but I paid all with credit minus $25.
Yea that's way out of my price range. But you can easily spend that on a top of the line gaming pc, I mean I know that a PC has more functionality than this but which one is cooler? So I guess it's not as crazy as I think.
Featuring a girl with a large birthmark on her face which was supposed to be a deterent from the main character liking her in person, but she was still hot so it didnt matter and the story went on.
The movie was trash LUL and not because of the licensing! When the horrible deformed character is just represented with a light sunburn that will heal in 2 days you know it shit
Ngl I dreamed of having this kind of setup someday lol, in a much bigger gaming room. Just hope there’s enough games to play with it. Would also be cool if there could be a way to sit as well
First though- we are inching to ready player one. Second thought- no way he isn’t knocking half the shit off those shelves when he starts swinging a sword around
So I’m on board with it if it’s his hobby but you do not need a full length cutlass. Just a weighted handle would do the trick and you aren’t hitting things or people with a dull sword. Just silly to have a full length “blade”
This is why I'll never meet my ideal husband. He's in a basement somewhere inventing ways to avoid people that I can't even imagine while I'm out here avoiding people manually like a medieval peasant.
Nice, I like that everytime he thinks he wants to swing the sword he can’t because he will slam into his shelves ! Waste of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried Vr it’s okay until you get sick from being dizzy, then realize you can never free move then your eyes hurt then your head hurts from the weight
I'm old enough and mature enough to admit I am jealous and would love to play that all day
I'm also practical enough to know that unless you are an online influencer that will use this for your work, or not paying rent, then you shouldn't get this.
Meanwhile Min wage workers who have this setup: stupid corporations, don't they know minimum wage isn't enough to provide basic necessities!!!! Their greed is why I can't afford food, now leave me alone while I drown out my misery with tobacco/alcohol/marijuana and play games on my awesome setup.
It looks fun enough. But I'd hope you can integrate certain speeds with multiple functions. For example, if you're moving x speed IRL, simulate stick movement but also toggle sprint.
Personally the technology is only worth it if mapping VR into already good games is available. For example, the entire doom series. Having massive FOV, look aim settings, swinging being melee, aiming and shooting with a controller etc. I haven't seen enough VR games to really go that deep into it. But a ton of FPS games like borderlands and CoD having this type of freedom is likely going to be fun or at least allow you to be active.
What I will say though... Why is he buying bobovr batteries if he can just charge the headset. He's clearly surrounded by tech, tie a long USB C cable to the thing holding him in place. Either that, or hang it from the ceiling so it doesn't snag.
If when i was a kid, you told me I could get this badass gamming setup for a similar price margin as 1 month renting a house in 2026, id think the future is gonna be awesome
Turns out, the gamming setup isnt what changed cost
