- So, check this out, this is the Oculus Quest,
and I'm legitimately super excited about this VR headset.
It just came in the mail, I'm like,
"I need to un-box this now".
This video is sponsored by Oculus, so shout out to them
for sponsoring this video and sending this out to me,
now let's get this sucker open.
We've all heard of Oculus, right?
They came out with the Oculus Rift a while back
and that was ground-breaking technology,
I just thought it was a little bit too inconvenient for me,
personally, cause you have to hook it up to a computer,
but this, all of it is contained inside and also gives you
six degrees of freedom.
What does that mean?
Well, most headsets you get to look around and see your
environment this way, but with six degrees of freedom
you have your controllers that you can
move around like this, and you could also walk around
and it'll detect where you are.
And, you don't have to have a bunch of external stuff
to support it,
so it's convenient for a lazy person, like me.
Here's the headset itself, and look at that,
you can adjust the distance between each eyeball.
Wow, so this is it now.
No weird cables hanging off it.
Do I just put it on?
So here's the controller and they were very adamant
to use these wrist straps, probably because so many people
would get too into the game.
This is pretty much it, I'm just gonna go plug this in,
but I love how simple it is, I just pulled it
out of the box, just plug it in, think it's ready to go.
Let me give this a nice little charge and we'll come back.
This is crazy!
Literally, as soon as I put these on,
I forget I'm in the studio.
Hold on, I was just throwing paper airplanes
and playing with stuff.
It makes sense though, I see why they're like,
"Make sure you put these wrist things on."
I get it now, why.
You get so lost and you totally forget where you are.
You forget you're holding remotes even.
What the (beep)?
Oh, it's a rocket, ahh!
Oh my.
Guys, I don't even know what to say right now.
This thing is amazing.
Before we get any further, let me just clarify something.
Yes, this video is sponsored by Oculus, but,
they're very clear for me to try it out and give my
honest opinion, and literally in the contract it says,
be honest and truthful and don't say stuff
you don't believe, and I believe this thing is the most
exciting thing I've tried out in a very long time.
So, let's get into it.
When I first heard about the Oculus Quest,
this was before I even had a partnership with them,
I was actually really excited because I was browsing
for a simple headset that I can use to watch all my
360 videos that I've shot in the past.
Really, that was the only type of VR that
I was familiar with, you know?
It's cool, you get to watch videos in 360,
look around and you kinda feel like
you're there in that video.
But generally speaking, about 15 to 20 minutes
and your eyes might start to strain,
you might get a headache, or you get bored,
but I can safely say, this thing, on a whole other level.
Remember, I'm contractually obligated
to tell the truth, right now.
Let's start with comfort because that's very important.
I was actually surprised that I would keep this headset
on for hours straight.
Literally, the entire battery life of this thing which
was about two and a half hours,
and when I would take it off, I,
personally, had zero eye strain, I didn't have any headaches
and I actually wanted to just keep on going.
That was actually something that surprised me, personally,
because in the past I've never wanted to leave a headset
on for more than 20 minutes.
This thing could do all the basic stuff,
like watching 360 videos online, or just browsing the web,
but what really takes this to the next level is the
six degrees of freedom, but what does that mean?
Well, this headset, you could actually move around in space,
and it will detect that, that enables you to actually
walk around in space, duck down, and dodge bullets,
and with these controllers as well,
not only can you use it to point at different things,
but you could actually move it around
in space and some of the games,
it looks like you have hands so you could actually go, huh,
and then you could pick stuff up and throw paper airplanes.
I mean, it's kinda mind blowing when you do it
for the first time.
A lot of the content is 3D as well, so in games you could
actually look at stuff and it looks
like it's actually there.
Things pop out at you.
If you haven't tried six degrees of freedom yet,
trust me, it's a whole other experience.
I actually had a blast letting my friends try it
and watching them experience it for the first time.
(laughing)
- That's crazy.
- Get on the ground mother(beep)!
(explosion)
- Oh, oh my God.
What do I do?
Oh, dang (laughs).
- Dude, it was so crazy.
I've never tried anything like it,
so just being in the world, and just being able to touch
stuff, for a minute I forgot where I was.
I would always think, oh, I'm facing this way,
and then when I would take it off
I'd be over here, somewhere.
- They've done a really great job making things feel real
and tangible, these controllers will vibrate if you
smack something with your sabers.
This has speakers built in that gives you surround sound.
I don't even know where the speakers are on this thing.
The surround sound is awesome because you hear gunshots
going off to your right, and then you look over,
and you realize someone's shooting at you.
There's also a headphone jack so throw on your
noise canceling headphones and you'll be totally lost.
I love it when they take advanced technology like this
and they make it super user friendly,
that anyone could pretty much put on
this headset and immediately start using it.
I went from pretty much knowing nothing about VR
to being fully comfortable with this headset in about
10, maybe 15 minutes.
I also got this travel case,
so everything fits in here nicely.
This Oculus Quest is exactly what VR needed to go
mainstream because, first of all, it's easy to use,
it's compact, it's super cool, and the pricing.
Currently, it is priced at $399 for the 64 gig model,
which is what I have and it is worth every dollar.
One of the first questions I had was, how do you prevent
yourself from running into a wall
and breaking all your stuff?
It's actually very simple, and this does a great job
walking you through the process, step by step.
It draws a grid on the floor, you just draw a little
outline of your safe area, and as soon as you get close
to the edge it'll give you a warning.
Another question I had was, exactly how much space
do you need?
Do you need a giant, big,
wide open space inside your house?
Because I don't really have that.
But all the apps do a really good job making it so you
actually don't need a whole lot of space.
If you can take a few steps in each direction
and not smack something, then you're good.
If you happen to have a giant, open space, you can utilize
all that, or if you have no space, you can play it
stationary or even sitting down.
It could actually start to become pretty good exercise,
you could go boxing, you can play tennis.
One of the accessories I recommend the most,
a fan just blasting your face the whole time,
or else you're gonna be drenched in sweat.
But the fact that I'm getting some light exercise
while doing this is actually awesome because I really do
enjoy gaming, but I purposely try to stay away
from it because last thing I wanna do is spend more hours
hunched over a computer or sitting on the couch.
If I spend two whole hours playing Beat Saber
I don't feel guilty.
So, check this out, I just finished my physical therapy
session and check out how much motion I've been getting
in my arm right now.
I'm 30 degrees to 130 now, so that's pretty good.
My physician was like, you've been doing something right
to be getting all this motion, and you know what?
It's probably that Oculus Quest because for hours I'm
moving my arms around and this Oculus
came in at a perfect time.
I've been getting good motion
and exercise out of this thing.
When you have internet connection, there's actually a
social aspect to this as well.
I just downloaded a poker app.
When I look around and I see other avatars standing
near by, I was like,
"Wait a second, can you guys hear me"?
Everyone looks over and they're like, "Yeah, what's up?"
- (laughs)
- I was like "Oh, my God!"
"I'm actually here in this room."
And you could hear people talking to you, it's crazy!
What! - It's nuts.
- One thing I was really surprised about was
the precision of these controllers.
Some of the games you're required to just wave them all
over the place really, really fast,
and it tracks it really well.
Keep in mind that this is designed for indoor use only,
it will not work outdoors.
I think super bright, direct sunlight can confuse these
controllers a little bit, but once you find yourself
a proper play area, these things work.
With this kinda precision and ability,
I think there's so many practical applications
and possibilities with this thing.
Maybe, for something like emulated training for
something like maybe even a helicopter pilot,
or if you can wear this and they would make a game
that you would play while you were running on a treadmill
or something, I would be hitting the gym every day.
I know I always do a give away on my sponsored videos,
but for legal reasons, I'm not allowed to do one on this
video, but maybe if you follow me on Instagram,
I might be doing some stuff over there that's completely
unrelated to this.
Anyways, enough chit chat.
Let's throw this on, and let's go play a couple games.
Let's go.
So, let's check out Robo Recall, which is one of the
first games that I got really into.
I know to you guys, this just seems like a regular game
because you guys are just watching as a T.V.,
but to me, everything is in 3D and I feel super immersed
in this whole situation, and I'm freaking out.
Okay, get away from that guy.
(guns shoot)
- This is the first time that I've gotten really into a
first person shooter like this, because it doesn't feel
like I'm just pushing buttons on a game controller anymore.
It feels like I'm there, I feel like I'm holding these guns.
I feel like I'm being attacked.
Whoa, there's a guy right there.
Okay, let's blast his head off.
(gun shots drown out speaker) - Get out of here.
It's really interactive.
I can grab this guy, I can rip his head off,
and I can throw him at other bad guys.
And then, goodbye.
Saving this Beat Saber for last because I'm gonna break
a sweat in a second.
