- [Ned] I'm an artist.
I can't be constrained to two dimensions.
I have to paint in three dimensions.
Ow!
Ow, ow, ow!
Virtual Reality!
- [Keith] Today we are at the YouTube Space
in San Francisco, and we are going to be doing
virtual stuff, in a virtual world.
- [Eugene] I already have enough of a problem
keeping up with actual reality,
you know what I'm saying?
- [Keith] Google is allowing us to experience some V.R.
and to debut a new piece of technology.
- [Zach] Oh my god!
- Never before seen, V.R. technology.
- I don't know why they trusted us.
We're a bunch of idiots and they're going to let us
show the world how smart they are.
What a choice!
(electronic music)
- [Zach] So I know that virtual reality is...
I actually don't really understand virtual reality.
- [Tom] Virtual Reality is, for now,
it's when you put on a headset
and it feels as though you are now somewhere else,
able to do thing you weren't able to do moments before.
- [Eugene] No! Whoa!
Oh my god. Oh my god.
- It returns us to this more intuitive way
of interacting with an environment,
except that now we have magic powers.
- Oh my god, I'm flying through Paris.
Wow!
I feel like Spiderman right now.
- We can do things that make life much more fun,
but in a much more intuitive way.
- Whee!
- You ready to paint?
- I'm ready to paint.
- We're going to show you, Tilt Brush.
- Tilt Brush, virtual reality painting.
It allows you to paint in three dimensional space.
So you can paint and then walk around it.
It's a new type of like creation medium.
We're in this green screen area.
- Then we can composite you
so that everyone can see what it's like to be where you are.
- Whoa.
- Enter the virtual world.
Whoa.
- How many things have you drawn on this?
- Thousands, thousands.
- How many things did you draw,
before you drew a penis?
- This Vive that you guys are going to be using,
it's a room scale tracking technology.
- [Ned] Wow!
- [Keith] I don't see you anymore.
- It allows you to wander around your entire room
and so you actually feel like you're walking around
in a virtual space.
- [Ned] What! This is Crazy.
It's like I'm a ribbon dancer.
- [Zach] First thing I've always wanted to this,
Hi I'm Zach, and thanks for watching Disney Channel.
(Zach giggles)
And it didn't look like that at all.
- There's a lot of "Wows".
- Wow.
I think I'm making a really beautiful drag queen.
- "Holy craps."
- Arooga!
- Hey!
- "I've never seen this before."
- [Zach] This is already like the weirdest acid trip ever.
- [Keith] How is this Eugene, fabulous?
I'll take the silence as a resounding yes.
- [Patrick] It brings you back to a little bit
of like a childlike state.
- [Eugene] Hey, have you been to this virtual club before?
- [Ned] Awww!
Oh my god, there's still a lot of stars in my face.
- [Patrick] You're going to be painting with lights,
with stars..
- [Keith] Aww guys, it's beautiful!
Ned is this how you proposed?
- [Zach] Now I'm like in Stranger Things.
Where's my son?
- [Patrick] You're probably going to be transported to
different types of environments to paint in.
- [Keith] Oh my god, it's cold now.
- [Eugene] Whoa.
Whoa, this one's crazy, I can just live in this.
Does this exist in the real world?
- [Patrick] I'm actually pretty sure that,
that is a night sky capture.
- Shut up Patrick. Shut up.
- I'm pretty sorry.
- [Keith] All right, it's time to go to work.
- [Zach] Are we matching?
- [Keith] Look at all we've got snowman.
- [Zach] Now he's hugging me.
Woah, god!
Ahhhh!
Snowman!
Don't do that! I'm drawing a wall, you can't get to me.
You betrayed me, snowman.
- [Patrick] Alright, you want to learn some advanced tools?
- [Ned] Oh yes I do!
- Click that on both controls.
- No way.
- And now pinch and zoom,
move your hands and spin them around and stuff.
(The Try Guys making funny noises)
- [Patrick] You'll notice that when you do that,
little animals pop up
so you can go from squirrel size to dinosaur size.
- [Eugene] This must be how Zach feels.
- [Zach] You ever go to a rave and like
there's that weird girl who's just like
spinning lights in your face,
and like "What are your doing lady!
"But keep doing it."
- [Keith] The music and the beats are in the air!
- [Zach] So Patrick this is basically what you pictured
when you invented this, huh?
- [Patrick] Yeah that's how you art.
- [Eugene] I'm gonna try to paint something in actual 3D.
- [Tom] Renaissance painting comes along and we learn
about the laws of perspective,
and how to translate our perception of the world
into a two dimensional rectangle.
- [Eugene] You guys see what I'm doing?
You guys see that?
Free.
- [Tom] With virtual reality, that rectangle is broken open
and now we are re-experiencing the world
the way we naturally do with our own human bodies.
- [Eugene] Do you guys see that?
Do you guys see that?
I know you saw that.
I just, (giggles to himself)
I don't know if you're seeing this!
This is crazy, no?
I almost cried.
You're a genius Patrick.
- [Patrick] I'm over here.
- [Eugene] You're a genius Patrick.
- [Patrick] The creation experience is so powerful
that it tricks your brain into thinking
the objects you create are actually right in front of you.
- [Eugene] There, it's a tree!
- [Ned] Oh god that is terrifying.
- [Keith] I keep walking around that pedestal
like it's there.
- [Zach] There we go.
- [Eugene] The end.
(Zach screams)
- [Zach] Get away.
Back, demon.
- [Tom] So there is one more challenge that's presented
even when we can all see you in virtual reality,
you still have a headset on.
- So you're gonna scan my face,
and it will make a digital version of my face
to put where the mask covers my face.
I had to say face a lot in that sentence.
So now we're gonna do a challenge
where we are each going to draw, the four of us,
minus one's self, and see who can do the best
real life replication of The Try Guys.
Ned likes red.
- [Avneesh] We are looking at
exciting new ways of making V.R. more engaging.
- [Keith] Now let's give these boys some faces.
I don't know how to not accidentally be racist.
I don't know.
So that's it, you've scanned my whole face?
- [Avneesh] Yes, we've scanned your whole face.
Now we are processing,
applying our machine perception, and algorithms.
- Math is magic, who knew.
I did.
I'm going to start with Keith.
Here are the squares.
- [Avneesh] Just be calm, relax.
- I'ma be the most calm.
- The eyes are the windows to the soul,
and so we want to restore that connection,
we don't want a headset to be blocking
the audience from the youtuber.
- [Zach] My eyes look beautiful in that reflection,
I'm not wearing glasses today, so you can see em.
(awkward music)
- [Zach] Everyone knows about Ned is that he's married.
Just one giant wedding ring.
- [Avneesh] And that's good, okay.
- [Patrick] We've seen a lot of advanced artists
come into Tilt Brush and they have to tear down
all of these rules that they've learned.
Whereas a seven year old might go in there and be like,
"Yeah, no this is exactly how it works."
- [Zach] He actually looks like Goku
who just went Super Saiyan.
- Will I be better at this because I'm asian?
I will be better at this
because I am used to sitting very still with no emotion.
- [Tom] The headset that we have,
it has eye tracking cameras inside it.
So ideally, as your eyes move,
the virtual eyes move as well.
- They blink?
- [Tom] They blink.
- [Eugene] You must be so smart.
I just appreciate you for that.
- [Avneesh] Thank you, thank you.
- I know Kung fu now.
- Woah, oh my god!
- [Avneesh] And that, is the 3D model of your face.
Your eyes will track the cursor,
so we have actually gotten your blinks.
(everyone laughing)
- [Ned] I look a little high.
- [Zach] Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, I'm ugly.
I'm so ugly.
I have resting sad face,
really it's not your fault.
It's my parents.
- [Avneesh] It's perfect.
It's actually perfect.
The representation of Eugene's face came out the best.
- [Keith] We're done!
- [Avneesh] We are done with the face scanning.
- How many other things are you going to scan?
- Right now we're just scanning your face.
- Okay, but the technology soon...
Everything.
(giggling in background)
- [Tom] You are the first to reveal
the face replacement.
- [Zach] We're the first?
- [Keith] We're like Nicholas Cage?
- [Zach] So is my face already my face?
Oh my god.
So I'm digital Zach now.
Am I ugly or handsome?
- What I was trying to show,
is that my friends are all shining stars.
- Hey!
Friends!
- What up what up, I'm Zach, these are my buds.
- Uh, that's it.
(laughing)
I think we already know who won.
(laughing)
- Wow, that was incredible.
- I was in the painting,
and I thought that the paintings that I made,
were as tangible as things that I would make in real life.
Oh let me kiss that neck.
- [Eugene] No, no, don't do that Keith.
Stop kissing virtual Eugene's neck.
- [Ned] I felt this surge of childlike creativity
and expression that I haven't really felt before.
Ow!
I stepped on my cord.
I did it again.
- You can paint, you can draw, you can fly through the sky,
but then from there you start to think about,
what the applications can be for this technology
in the future, and the possibilities are endless really,
and so...
(Ned screams)
Oh God!
Fuck! Stop it!
Stop it!
- My biggest lesson is that virtual reality
may not take you away from reality,
it might just bring you closer to it.
- [Tom] One thing that they found is that V.R.,
because of the way that it places the viewer
inside the scene, it has the potential to create
a lot more empathy, a lot more connection.
When they say, "Now we're going to go see, say, the
"Great Wall of China."
And all of the students suddenly can be looking around
at the Great Wall of China,
it makes a much stronger impact
than just reading text off a page or looking at a slide.
- [Keith] This world is changing so fast,
technology is just like evolving so quickly.
It's very cool to live in this time,
and to be able to experience a virtual reality
and sort of see it's growth.
- [Zach] And I think that headset removal
is the first step in really humanizing this technology.
I can't even wrap my mind around
how many ways that this can be used.
Can we see your face, or should you borrow one of ours?
- I think I'm going to need one of your faces.
Use Keith's face.
- [Patrick] So by the time that you see this video,
Tilt Brush will have been released for the Oculus Rift.
(oohs and ahhs)
- I guess virtual reality does have a place because
it felt really new, but it also felt really natural.
- [Tom] Virtual reality means that you are there
instead of, you are looking from a comfortable distance.
So, we are still finding out about all the powerful effects
that it can have on human emotion.
- Ned the cock (rooster crowing noise),
Keith the horse (neighing noise),
and Zach the turtle (moaning).
It's The Try Guys, right here on Disney Channel.
(laughter)
Alright, that's fun.
Man this was the best day ever, I'm so happy.
