  • We visit the offices of Stereolabs, the makers of the ZED and ZED Mini mixed reality camera systems to test out their implementation of a passthrough camera accessory for VR headsets. Using their ZED Mini, we're able to get an augmented reality experience with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, and get a sense of the challenges of using a stereo camera system for passthrough AR.

    Norm is coming along leaps and bounds as an interviewer. There is nothing like the barbs of UA-cam viewers to critique any flaws. He is learning his craft well, and doing a great job. Likewise when both are presenting together.

      Hate to say it but we know it's true, Will was holding back Norm for too long. It was cringy at times how much Will would try and take over and leave Norm there with his hands in his pockets. Oh god the unboxings, pretty much taking it out of his hands, and scissors/knife as if he wasn't capable.

      Will has a great voice for is, but his personality... Everyone he works with act like they would rather be anywhere else.
      You know, he acts like coworkers I have worked with that I knew were coke heads.

    This really is the best VR, AR, MR show on the planet. You guys hit benchmarks with the way of interviewing, presentation, explanation and attitude. Top job and keep it coming, please!❤️🙏

    Advice for the company, regarding the TV on the wall. 6:16 Flip the image, horizontally. So that the player's images are on the correct side relative to the players. It will confuse demonstrations, until people realise that problem.

      I am pretty sure people developing mixed reality are smart enough to think of that. This is also not their channel.
      lol

    • @Temp0raryName
      @Temp0raryName 6 років тому +2

      The people doing the tech are not necessarily the same ones marketing it. Plus if they were smart enough to think of it, they demonstrably failed to actually do it!
      My statement worked on the assumption that the marketing team would be wise enough to follow up any promoting they did. Which, for Tested, would be to read through the comments.

    It's awesome to see the innovation and the new things that get developed everyday. Thank yuo for showing it. I think ZED is doing a great job, especially with the counteracting of the lag. The quality of the pictures will definitly improve, as the lady said, as technology gets better. It is just a perfect add on, if u have a VR Goggle to basically make it AR. It would be nice to see a wireless version to make it accessible for larger spaces, then just 2m-3m around the computer. But that is probably a completly different topic ;)

  • @jamesoloughlin

    Glad you guys looked into the ZED mini. Have been eyeing it for a while but wasn’t sure about many details.

  • @OldGamerNoob
    @OldGamerNoob 6 років тому +2

    I wonder if this could be used to not only act as the tracker for other headsets LIKE the Windows MR headsets but to ALSO make some software to make the Rift and Vive compatible appear in Windows as if they really WERE a Windows MR headset and open up access to those libraries without having to own multiple headsets.
    On the flip side, I wonder if there's some way to get into the images produced by the actual WMR headset cameras and make THEM compatible with software for THIS device.

    Amazing Idea! Only to put It and have the same experience without câmeras in your Room, is an amazing Idea. I Wish It on PSVR too..

    Have you guys heard anything firm about the next version of the Rift? Or what, if any, of the features of the Halfdome thing will make it in?
    I'm hoping for being able to track hands and fingers without needing a controller in hand. I realize that's probably a vain hope, but I gotta dream. :)

  • @kendokaaa
    @kendokaaa 6 років тому

    The Vive's passthrough can be switched to full FOV color mode. That was added a few months ago. It is much more useful that way

  • @justinallen4903
    @justinallen4903 6 років тому

    This is awesome. I would use my rift a whole lot more often if I didn't have to set up the cameras every time or use up precious desk space by leaving them hooked up all the time. If I wasn't in a temporary rental, then I could probably wall mount them, but atm that's just not an option. Hopefully, the next gen headsets come with this capability built-in.

    • @zeikjt

      Did you do human-like depth-perception based on the discrepancy between the left and right cameras? Just mounting a camera on the front of an HMD is not the same thing.

  • @green4free

    What is this bullisht about it having usb2?
    At least stereolabs website say that the mini has a USB C connection.
    I have used the original Zed a bit, and it has USB 3.0

    • @alexandergrobe16
      @alexandergrobe16 6 років тому +3

      It uses USB 3.0 protocol for the two video streams and USB 2.0 protocol for the motion sensor data.

    • @HassanSelim0
      @HassanSelim0 6 років тому

      I think the USB port that's on the Vive itself is USB 2.0, you can open up the place where the wires on in the headset to reveal an extra USB port, this is how you attach a Leap Motion to a Vive for example.

  • @martinkarlsson1456
    @martinkarlsson1456 5 років тому

    I am curisous if this device (as it was my initial assumption), or any other web cam/stereo-lens/3d camera sulotions out there are able to attatch to the Oculus Rift CV1 just a s a passthrough? Say I want to grab something form my desk IRL while watching 3D Movies in bigscreen and I dont want to take my headset off. Just push a key and get a live camera feed, See whats up in my livingroom and then pop back in to VR. Basically what I want to do is stick 1 or 2 webcams on my HMD and at any moment swith the view back and forth between VR and live feed. Has anyone come up with a decent sulotion to this? without having to buy the later HMDs with already built in cameras? Would greatly appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction as to what setup to look for. Leap Motions doesnt seem to do quite what I am looking for either althought very interesting tech.

    the camera seems cool, but it's too expensive, though with the ability to do tracking internally it kind of makes me want it still.. Hopefully it goes down in price soon.

  • @ridley68

    How can it work one frame at a time? Surely it needs to at least compare this frame with the last to see the differences in order to calculate angle change in order to calc the distance and size of the object?
