  • - Dad, would you care to join me?

  • This is the point where you walk over.

  • There we go.

  • - Hello!

  • - Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • It has been six years since I first experienced

  • VR with an incredibly early version of

  • the Oculus Rift headset,

  • but when Oculus Rift reached out

  • and wanted to sponsor this video

  • on their Oculus Quest headset,

  • I couldn't say no!

  • I feel like I showed you a super early

  • VR headset legitimately five years or so ago.

  • - You showed me a prototype.

  • - Do you want to try something

  • a little bit more finished?

  • - Yeah, sounds good to me.

  • - (inaudible)

  • Every time Dad's been on a video,

  • it just always makes it more exciting.

  • So, this is the Oculus Quest.

  • Would you like to do the unboxing?

  • - Sure.

  • - [Austin] One of the things that makes this

  • different from a standard VR headset is

  • it does not require a PC.

  • Those early prototypes,

  • the one I showed you and the ones you can

  • buy for the first couple years,

  • all rely on an actual, proper PC.

  • Man, you're fast. You're already into the headset.

  • So, you do it like this: you hold it

  • in this hand.

  • I think there's actually a series of trackers

  • around the side, so...

  • - This is very important.

  • - Listen to Dad: always wear protection!

  • Put on your strap.

  • You can see that basically,

  • it's almost like a standard controller

  • where you have a couple of buttons here,

  • but you also have triggers on the inside,

  • triggers on the top as well,

  • and you have a stick.

  • It also has motion control,

  • so depending on the game,

  • you might be using it to box

  • or you might be using it to walk around

  • or whatever.

  • We set up the Oculus Quest using our phones, so now

  • Dad, it's all on you.

  • Just put the headset on and oh, whoa.

  • Let me fix your hair.

  • - Oh, that's okay.

  • - You look like (inaudible)

  • - Oh, I see it now.

  • - Oh, looks like you got it. There you go.

  • Put your straps on.

  • - Wow, this is really cool!

  • - [Austin] So you walk around,

  • you can literally crouch down.

  • - Okay, it told me not to go any

  • further or something.

  • - In addition to me being able to

  • record on the headset,

  • which is what we're doing right now,

  • you can actually cast this to a TV

  • so you can watch what someone else is doing.

  • Dad, can you, right now, open up Beat Saber.

  • (light sabers)

  • (light sabers)

  • (techno music)

  • So, what do you think?

  • - They're pretty cool!

  • - It's a lot, though, right?

  • - It's a lot more work than I thought.

  • - (laughs) It's like a workout!

  • So, this is a little bit better than

  • the last VR you tried, right?

  • I mean, this is like four years newer

  • than anything that was around back then.

  • - They came a long way.

  • - Yeah. It's cool, though;

  • you don't need any of the wires and stuff.

  • Alright, Dad, thanks for being in the video.

  • - Yeah.

  • - I think it's time to let everyone

  • else give it a try.

  • The nice thing about Oculus Quest is that

  • this is proper VR, right?

  • There have been other mobile headsets,

  • including the Oculus Go, which was solid,

  • but this is much closer to that full

  • scale experience.

  • On top of that, the screen is incredibly nice.

  • Some of the things that's really impressive

  • here is, just how high resolution it is.

  • Also, Job Simulator is just one

  • of my favorite VR titles ever.

  • All right, what do we have here?

  • Lottery tickets, ooh.

  • Shout out to these touch controllers, as well.

  • They're actually really, really nice.

  • Now you have the inner triggers,

  • which is nice for me to just pick up

  • a can or something,

  • but I also have the joy sticks as well.

  • It's easy for me to kind of aim things around.

  • Especially for a game like Job Simulator,

  • the real idea is that I want presence, right?

  • I want to feel like I'm in the game,

  • and I very much do!

  • Let me just toss that over to the side.

  • Something else that really separates Quest from

  • a lot of other VR headsets is,

  • that there are actual games for this.

  • I mean, no shade but, there are a lot

  • of titles here.

  • The important thing is there's so much excitement,

  • because so many developers are

  • wanting to get on board.

  • With Quest, it is really easy to set up.

  • If you're using it stationary, it's fine,

  • but if you want to use room scale,

  • all you do is:

  • with the cameras on, I can just

  • simply draw the area that I want to use,

  • which is going to be something like this.

  • And right to here.

  • Now I have my play area.

  • The cool part is,

  • with the walls up, once I confirm it,

  • I can know exactly where I'm at.

  • Say if I'm in the game, right now,

  • I know this is all good,

  • but if I start to get too close to

  • a wall, the wall will turn red.

  • If I put my head through it,

  • it automatically turns the cameras on

  • so I don't bump into anything.

  • Ken, you actually cheated and you've

  • already been playing the Quest.

  • - I played the Quest while you were gone

  • doing some other things in Taiwan or something.

  • You know what, the positional audio

  • sounds surprisingly good,

  • but the Quest does have two headphone jacks on it,

  • so if you did want to use those; you can.

  • - All right, Ken, thoughts?

  • - It's great.

  • That's all I have to say, it's great.

  • - Matt!

  • - Yeah?

  • - Are you in the VR world?

  • - Oh, I am fully emerged into the VR world.

  • This is about as immersive as I've ever felt.

  • Like, I feel like I'm in this little kitchen thing.

  • One thing I've noticed is that this is

  • so well calibrated for eyes.

  • - Yeah.

  • - Pretty much every other VR headset,

  • I've gotten sick from playing.

  • I don't get it with this.

  • - Jimmy, you tried the Quest and tell me what you do?

  • - I tried it on the first day and then I

  • pre-ordered it on Best Buy and

  • went and picked it up after work.

  • I like these shooting types of games that are

  • like on rails or standing still,

  • (shooting)

  • because it doesn't make me motion sick.

  • In this game, you're basically

  • just standing still and robots fly all around you.

  • They do a good job at keeping it 180 degrees

  • so you don't have to turn around and

  • look behind you or anything.

  • It's a good field of view for a game

  • like this.

  • The shooting feels really good.

  • You can have different types of weapons,

  • they're all mapped to a different direction

  • on the joy stick so you don't

  • really have to do much, other than

  • change the joystick around.

  • - Okay so, I have some virtual arms with

  • gloves on them.

  • I guess I'm not doing too hot.

  • Ooh, ooh.

  • Body shot!

  • Ooh!

  • That's right!

  • I don't think I won that round.

  • I had some good moves at the end.

  • - So, that was Oculus Quest!

  • I've tried a lot of VR headsets,

  • but this by far,

  • is the most polished experience

  • I've ever tried.

  • The fact that you can do this without

  • any kind of PC and it works this well

  • is incredibly impressive.

  • If you guys are interested, I'll have

  • a link in the description to check it out.

  • If you've tried VR in this past,

  • you owe it to yourself to give Quest a try.

  • It really is a huge step forward.

- Dad, would you care to join me?
