I agree! I would love to see more stories like this. These kinds of projects are the ultimate expression of love for technology. Anything where people do grass roots hardware or software development should get more recognition and this would be an AWESOME new regular segment! Authors of Emulators, Pi Hackers, Case modders, people who support libraries that are used in large software that we don't often think about! etc. Let's go Linus!
Not that I don't agree he's an awesome guy, but I imagine there's some self-serving behind what he's doing. He probably expects this project to help him with scholarships, which it almost certainly will. He's probably just more concerned about saving $100K in tuition than in profiting directly off of this product.
@@imnotdavid7954 You can open source your project and sell it as a finished product. It's a business model that is used by a lot of very successful software companies It actualy serves your business, your community finds bugs and help you fix it, your customers get a really nice product
take this to some hospitals they might fund the project, this can be used in telemedicine for when doctors remote control robot surgeons having real time feedback is very helpful, this can also be used for vr surgical proceedures for both irl and training
Linus, thanks so much for featuring Lucas! He is a bright part of the VR community's future, and we're all so excited for this crazy VR technology around the corner... :) hoping hard for more VR & force-feedback content soon!
I was playing VR at an arcade centre once in an enormous room with a “toy” weapon which was tracked. It felt surreal. The immersion was from another world because you had something in your Hand which was rendered in game and you were able to look at it and feel it.
@@swas_chak Not OP, but I think I can explain. Basically, they had an object with tracker markers on it, probably using base stations and vive pucks, so that it could calculate the object's position. From there, a game designed for it could simply render a model in the object's location that is the same shape and size
I once had this but they used an airsoft weapon as a base to blank fire but with electronic blowback when you pulled the trigger so you could actually feel the recoil of the gun itself.
This is the spirit of Open Source. You make cool shiz, put it on the interwebs and someone comes along and makes it EVEN BETTER. Rinse, repeat, awesome stuff becomes more and more awesomer. Keep on rocking, Open Source community!
yeah though lucas will prob not be a millionare from his personal project. although he is smart and wouldnt doubt eventually will anyway but not from this
@@StormCrusher94 Well they can only do that by coming up with their own design since everything in the open source community is under an open source license... that's why the corporate patents are often worse as they're merely inspired by the originals but with built-in planned obsolescence etc.
@@StormCrusher94 And usually also puts in a shit ton of money and extra R&D into it to take it beyond prototype stage into something that people can buy. Very VERY few people are willing, and more importantly, able to make something like this on their own.
This is dope as hell. And for reasons beyond VR too. I've got one hand that I can only extend half the fingers on due to irreversible nerve damage... servo gloves like these could take that problem away completely.
This is the stuff that sets LTT apart from other techTubers. You guys are doing videos about straight up weird stuff sometimes, but other times, I get excited for $60 VR gloves because that means that VR tech is coming down to earth. Really Cool stuff.
It's already down to earth, 300 bucks for the Oculus Quest 2, it's an immense amount of bang for your buck right there. Contractors with CoD maps in VR is absolutely incredible. Not good as the first game to try in VR, but man, once you have your VR legs and you get good at a VRFPS, there's no way back to FPS on a screen from there, at least for me. Haven't played flat games in damn near 6-7 years at this point, aside from deck building roguelikes on my ipad.
@@demofighter You won't really see anything close to that price point in the upcoming years, as Facebook will buy off any close competitors or just make it impossible for them to compete. Facebook/Meta now owns, and will continue to own, VR for the foreseeable future, it's a sad fact, but it cannot be disputed... :/
honestly the physical part is kinda simple, linear servo attached to a small piston with hoses to small bladders at your fingertips, fill it with a low compressible oil that won't react to plastics, code wise anything but a binary touching object return might be the hardest part and finding space on the glove to fit the hardware
I've been following Lucas and his project for a little bit, but I'm super excited to see you guys feature him and his work on this channel. I can't wait to see where this goes, but I'm absolutely in love with the fact that he's willing to share his progress, success and failures included, with the world.
so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves this tech could be huge, especially if meta or valve or another big vr company takes a similar approach to hand tracking and haptic feedback

It's not for everybody, but it's definitely here to stay, and stuff like this is super exciting for the future of VR.
after spending hundreds of hours in VR. I truly believe it's the future for humanity. If it could just get like globally recognized the efforts of more big tech companies could create something amazing! sad most people just dismiss it as a novelty because it could help so many people live much easier and better lives.
Let's not bash meta too hard here. That's a company of hard working lizar... I mean people who are all striving to track... I mean help their users with many monetisation... I mean gaming and work opportunities. Hail zuck
It would be amazing if Linus used his resources to help streamline and manufacture these gloves. If you made them available for purchase at a decent price then this would be the next big vr accessory that everyone would want. This kid has serious gifts and I’m sure he will do amazing with or without help from LTT, but I think it would be a great partnership
Idk if Linus has that kind of wealth, his company is still pretty small and manufacturing something like this would cost millions and millions just on startup alone. Would be cool to see though maybe if Linus invests at least partially in its development but he certainly can’t be the sole investor
The best thing about 3D printing is that kids and other home engineers can still innovate and build in their garage/basement. If this guy is making stuff like this while still at school, he has a bright future ahead of him!
I'm only slightly worried about connecting software-controlled motors to mechanisms which could potentially pull my fingers in ways they are not meant to bend.
If this is the same glove and creator I've seen before then I believe he's stated that the motors can't actually produce enough force to cause injury even at full power. Could've been someone else though.
People like this need to be cherished and their ideas nurtured, big respect for having him on, what a future we will have with kids like this pushing the boundaries!!
Linus, you should do more collaborations like this, bring more people like Lucas that are working at the frontier of some tech and give them a nice platform to show what are they doing. This content is way better than anything else you have done before.
As someone who likes to fly helicopters in DCS I loved the feeling of beeing in VR, however, the million dials that you needed a mouse/keyboard for really broke the immersion. Until gloves are in a consumer friendly price/form I will be rocking headtracking and G9. But I cant wait for this inovation.
If you like that but would like the feeling of actually turning knobs/switches you should try VTOL VR. Granted it's nowhere near as in-depth graphically or physically as DCS - but still a lot of fun + immersive
@@TheWaluigiman1 I have a 3K Euro helicopter setup. Which is good. Or rather as good as it gets without it being in VR. The problem is when you have been in, VR you have noticed the true feeling of how impressive size is conveyed in VR.
For that kind of immersion checkout The Warthog Project here on youtube. He even said in one of his videos that he rocks his amazing cockpit in VR from time to time. If you are accustomed to the setup, you can "fly it blind".
I hope we get more of this kind of stuff from LTT, like exposure for young engineers and cool tech projects that need a big media push. Love to see it!
Man, Lucas just impresses the hell out of me. I truly wish him nothing but the best in his future - and not just because I want sweet ass VR gloves in the near future.
Never played VR seems like alot of fun in general, but seeing where the future is going for it makes me smile and excited for the future of gaming. Congrats to this guy too he's going places.
You should totally get one is life changing and you could use it as your own personal theater. Loved watching movies with it it feels soo... immersive. The cheapest and one of the best VR headphone you can get is Oculus quest 2. Its all in one headset so you dont need PC just wear and play and if yiu want to play pc games you can totally connect it with your pc and its only 300 dollar. With one deep catch... you have to sell your soul to Mark Zuckerberg
@@ForceInEvHorizon Nice thanks for the info brother! 300's not bad really. I've got a RTX 3080 graphics cars so I'm looking to get one that runs on my pc.
Before clicking this video, i thought to myself: "please let be him." Seeing this not only made me happy, it surprised me. I've watched the shorts and kept up with the videos, but i never expected to see a collab with linus. I know you'll go far. When i get into VR, being able to use haptic gloves that i can make myself for less than $100 will be the greatest new player experience ever.
Finally Lucas gets to the big tech-tube!!! I've discovered his project a few months ago on thrill seeker's channel, and I was shocked it's actually possible. The minute I have the option to built those I will.
This is so cool! It reminds me of the sensor glove me and my teammates made for our Final Thesis for my Bachelors Degree and it's bringing back so many memories. Might I suggest that for weight and bulk reduction you can use Linear Actuator Servos instead of the rotational servos? I used them for our prototype and they work exactly how a regular servo would but with the benefits of having linear action. Iirc, the only manufacturers that make those is Actuonix. They're slightly more expensive, but they're super nice and they're Canada based. This was so fun to just watch in action, I hope Lucas makes more progress in the VR Space!
I've been watching this project for months now and slowly working on making my own. It is an amazing project, and Lucas just keeps making new updates, and even announced that he is working on an omnidirectional treadmill as well, which will be really cool to see where that goes
I really don't understand that part though. He has an index. It's extremely immersive. You would have to be thinking about that it's just vr to be "aware" of it, or have some big distraction around you, like a automatic vacuum cleaner or something.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2 The Index is about as immersive as the quest 2 to be honest, they're scarily close in resolution/display, the Quest 2 can even be used completely wirelessly which is kinda a game changer for immersion, but has the disadvantage of no knuckles controllers. Even if you combined them both, you'd still be acutely aware that you're in VR, even if just because you need to be aware of where in the room you're standing to not punch the TV/monitor/insert expensive fragile item.
Amazing! Only suggestion I'd make is yeah, reduce some to forearm, use a baseball glove style (batting gloves) so people buy their sizes. And that should really do it based on the tech, besides minimizing the servos some. Once you have the basic glove(fabric) to then the 'feeler modules' on fingers, to then the outer glove to encase it all, it should be more or less perfect with then the arm guard as the battery pack & sync aspect of the tech. It'd look a little like a nintendo power glove, but amazing tech & ideas here to enhance.
My word... This just hit on a new LTT series. Bringing brilliant open source prototyping projects in and doing an episode like this. Then for a follow up, give 2 staff members 4 days and LTT knowledge and resources to produce the next prototype. It would be amazing to see how far you guys to go in a few days and massive reach.
Just a slight correction, at 5:20 you say that the index knuckles only have open and closed positions for the fingers, however this is not the case, the knuckles support a full range of open to closed tracking through the touch sensors, though it can be a little wonky particularly when perspiration is involved, and many games don't make use of the full range of motion. Still, I've been waiting to consumer level force and touch feedback solutions for years and so I'm so happy to see the DIY hobbyist space making moves in that area too.
@@SkeleTonHammer Ah right, yeah, I can see that being a problem. One-size-fits-all design only works so far. Would be nice if valve could supply and support a range of controller sizes.
This is amazing. I imagined a whole body suit like this back when I was a kid. Of course I never had the education or skills to build it, but it’s cool that we’re moving in that direction, if slowly.
It doesn't have to be this complicated, with gears and whatnot. I've been trying to give away a multi-billion dollar idea for ages just because I want to see it done
Inlay stretch fabric gloves with position sensor electrodes. Bam. Done. The electrodes would read the distance between each one in relation to the other electrodes and will accurately read the distance.
dude, this is amazing. not a lot of people have the selflessness to go open source and i think that decision alone is going to make the journey towards mainstream gloves speed up exponentially.
Yeah, it definitely feels like the most natural solution, as Linus said, it's kinda the same way our fingers work in the first place, but in the opposite direction
which is obvious as it simulates the tendons and natural design of the body thus making it far more natural while still being really simple. Obviously there's more robust systems but string based is generally good enough for most of the stuff
As a VR developer I know how incredibly hard it is to get VR across convincingly in video and I would love to see a follow-up video where you use LIV or other mixed reality camera tech to show it off!
That was honestly a very cool video. Reminds me of that crazy audio setup that cost 35,000$ where Linus said he wouldn't cry (XD). Love these kinds of videos where you have the inventor/professional go through the item with you. Keep it up!
Been following Lucas and his progress for a while and love that he gets such a stage show these off. Eventually, and I look forward to it, these might become legitimate (and perhaps even threatening to some) competitors for those gloves that cost way more than your usual consumer wants to spend on.
"it's a sex thing" just the summary of this video. I love seeing innovators and their creations like this as well as massive technological leaps like this too
Bearded Linus is a savage. I love it. He went from weird nerd that people joke about on the internet, to attractive nerd that people joke about on the internet. But now he seems more free.
Glad to see Lucas get more screen time for this. I'm really looking forward to seeing where his project goes and would definitely be going out and getting the bits to make my own if I had a 3D printer on hand for the requisite parts which aren't shelf-purchase items. Or buying what's necessary from him or whoever he teams up with to provide the bits in future.
Adam: "It will be the best 5 seconds of Linus' life" Linus: "I KNEW it was a sex thing!" Linus, the amount of innuendo (and other not so subtle phrases) in this video made my evening. I was feeling really down so thank you.
Woah! It's sick you got Lucas on here. I haven't seen his progress for a few months now so it's ace to see how much he's improved it in the past couple months 👌
This is amazing! The tech is really cool and well thought out. I've been following Lucas for a while now, and I love that he made it onto LTT! Indie projects FTW!
If anyone from LTT is reading this, please feature more folks like Lucas on the show. I really love seeing cool stuff made by small creators / makers. :)
Man we’re finally coming to the point where we can actually feel things with our hands in VR. Lets just hope it will be less expensive for mainstream use.
He's literally reaching and touching the virtual world. I would be reacting at a similar level he was if I tried it (I would probably be laughing a lot though because that is usually my reaction when my mind is blown by something).
yeah, the moment I saw that I thought "too bulky, it should be pulled further up the arm" so it was cool to see his plans match exactly with my thoughts. Measuring out the wires for the fingers and minimizing the spools down to perfectly fit only THAT much in order to remove a lot of bulk would be a great way to lose some weight and some of the shake. With a gauntlet approach, you could make a flat box that goes on the bottom of the forearm as far up the wrist as is comfortable that's about the width of a small cellphone and about the height of a double A battery for all the electronics and for the electrical wires to extend out from. With a proper velcro strap at the top of your wrist, it would isolate the weight on your forearm and leave your hand weightless in the VR.
I remember when Lucas first started posting about his first version and the subsequent process for improving the gloves, so awesome for LTT to bring him on to showcase how awesome this guys brain is haha in the words of my anti technology grandpa "he's one smart cookie"

The best thing about 3D printing is that kids and other home engineers can still innovate and build in their garage/basement. If this guy is making stuff like this while still at school, he has a bright future ahead of him!
I'm only slightly worried about connecting software-controlled motors to mechanisms which could potentially pull my fingers in ways they are not meant to bend.
They aren’t very strong motors
If this is the same glove and creator I've seen before then I believe he's stated that the motors can't actually produce enough force to cause injury even at full power. Could've been someone else though.
bro, trust me. those things aren't nearly strong enough for that, I've built a pair.
the servos most likely wont be strong enough to do any damage, and wont have enough range either
@@RidgeVR how's your experience been with them
People like this need to be cherished and their ideas nurtured, big respect for having him on, what a future we will have with kids like this pushing the boundaries!!
So glad to see Lucas' work getting more exposure! LTT should really cover more industry-leading VR tech like this!
Really glad to see Lucas' work getting more exposure! I've been following his progress for some time now.
Linus is on a good one. Who gave him the tequila?
Nah. It was weed. Linus's Canadian.
r/suddenlycaralho ?
Yeeaaahh, he's definitely not on the weed. If not a more adult drug, I'd guess he needs to adjust his Adderall dosage.
Think it’s a Sativa Strain. Not tequila
From Andong to LTT, he is everywhere.
Great progress and wonderful job Lucas! Looking forward to the updates! 👏😎
Favourite 3d printing guy:D
Linus, you should do more collaborations like this, bring more people like Lucas that are working at the frontier of some tech and give them a nice platform to show what are they doing. This content is way better than anything else you have done before.
NO WAY! I've been following Lucas since the start of the development! Now he's in an LTT video! Wow!
Linus: "What was I doing at your age"
Same thing as all boys at that age just not in VR
😂
I really want this kinda stuff to go mainstream. It would be sick to see this as a finished product, but still at a reasonable price.
As someone who likes to fly helicopters in DCS I loved the feeling of beeing in VR, however, the million dials that you needed a mouse/keyboard for really broke the immersion.
Until gloves are in a consumer friendly price/form I will be rocking headtracking and G9. But I cant wait for this inovation.
If you like that but would like the feeling of actually turning knobs/switches you should try VTOL VR. Granted it's nowhere near as in-depth graphically or physically as DCS - but still a lot of fun + immersive
Have you tried to use a HOTAS system?
@@TheWaluigiman1 I have a 3K Euro helicopter setup. Which is good. Or rather as good as it gets without it being in VR.
The problem is when you have been in, VR you have noticed the true feeling of how impressive size is conveyed in VR.
For that kind of immersion checkout The Warthog Project here on youtube. He even said in one of his videos that he rocks his amazing cockpit in VR from time to time. If you are accustomed to the setup, you can "fly it blind".
im glad lucas is getting more attention for this project
this absolutely amazing, being able to "feel" objects and have force feedback, this guy is going places.
Such a great feature on the channel, it's cool you reached out :)
I’ve never had my jaw drop involuntarily so many times in a single video. That kid is absolutely my hero.
I hope we get more of this kind of stuff from LTT, like exposure for young engineers and cool tech projects that need a big media push. Love to see it!
Man, Lucas just impresses the hell out of me. I truly wish him nothing but the best in his future - and not just because I want sweet ass VR gloves in the near future.
Never played VR seems like alot of fun in general, but seeing where the future is going for it makes me smile and excited for the future of gaming. Congrats to this guy too he's going places.
Congratulations bro
You should totally get one is life changing and you could use it as your own personal theater. Loved watching movies with it it feels soo... immersive.
The cheapest and one of the best VR headphone you can get is Oculus quest 2. Its all in one headset so you dont need PC just wear and play and if yiu want to play pc games you can totally connect it with your pc and its only 300 dollar. With one deep catch... you have to sell your soul to Mark Zuckerberg
@@ForceInEvHorizon Nice thanks for the info brother! 300's not bad really. I've got a RTX 3080 graphics cars so I'm looking to get one that runs on my pc.
@@shawnonsens3377 Well, with a decent battery I can play PC games wireless for 8 hours with the Quest.
@@extremeencounter7458 Oh Wow that's impressive!! What's the charge time like?
Before clicking this video, i thought to myself: "please let be him." Seeing this not only made me happy, it surprised me. I've watched the shorts and kept up with the videos, but i never expected to see a collab with linus. I know you'll go far. When i get into VR, being able to use haptic gloves that i can make myself for less than $100 will be the greatest new player experience ever.

"Is it for sex things?"
Linus asking the important questions right off the bat.
Bow Chicka Wow Wow
@Waldel Martell 🤨
Finally Lucas gets to the big tech-tube!!!
I've discovered his project a few months ago on thrill seeker's channel, and I was shocked it's actually possible. The minute I have the option to built those I will.
been following this on YT and their discord for a year or more now, pretty cool to see them get some recognition! Lucas and co are awesome.
This is so cool! It reminds me of the sensor glove me and my teammates made for our Final Thesis for my Bachelors Degree and it's bringing back so many memories. Might I suggest that for weight and bulk reduction you can use Linear Actuator Servos instead of the rotational servos? I used them for our prototype and they work exactly how a regular servo would but with the benefits of having linear action. Iirc, the only manufacturers that make those is Actuonix. They're slightly more expensive, but they're super nice and they're Canada based.
This was so fun to just watch in action, I hope Lucas makes more progress in the VR Space!
Never thought I'd ever see the HTC vive as "Old 'retro' tech"
@@5urg3x didn't they make one with a huge camera
@@Exilir8 They also made ones with front-facing speakers rather than back-facing, or worse, down-facing ones.
@@5urg3x I had one
There are even older ones, the input lag made for a great jet pilot experience.
@@ThePC007 oh wait, they made one with a projector too, lmao
I've been watching this project for months now and slowly working on making my own. It is an amazing project, and Lucas just keeps making new updates, and even announced that he is working on an omnidirectional treadmill as well, which will be really cool to see where that goes
Linus: "I'm always acutely aware that I'm just a guy in my living room in my underwear..."
Me: "... I feel called out..."
I really don't understand that part though. He has an index. It's extremely immersive. You would have to be thinking about that it's just vr to be "aware" of it, or have some big distraction around you, like a automatic vacuum cleaner or something.
@@OutOfNameIdeas2 The Index is about as immersive as the quest 2 to be honest, they're scarily close in resolution/display, the Quest 2 can even be used completely wirelessly which is kinda a game changer for immersion, but has the disadvantage of no knuckles controllers.
Even if you combined them both, you'd still be acutely aware that you're in VR, even if just because you need to be aware of where in the room you're standing to not punch the TV/monitor/insert expensive fragile item.
@@mataskart9894 what?
i own a quest 2, and the most crappy part about it IS the display, the fov is terrible lmao
@@noimageavailable2934 110 fov? That's 30 degrees higher then the quest 2
@@noimageavailable2934 so it's a trade off? Index has wider fov but Oculus quest 2's lenses are higher quality?
I've been part of Lucas's server for a while now, I'm so proud our community has made it here
I like this format of showing off new and or prototype tech a lot please do more.
thanks to you ALL @ LTT.
I'm so happy to see Lucas on the show. He deserves all the exposure he can get for such a brilliant project.
1:50 that look of "listen, man, I don't decide how you use the thing."
Amazing!
Only suggestion I'd make is yeah, reduce some to forearm, use a baseball glove style (batting gloves) so people buy their sizes. And that should really do it based on the tech, besides minimizing the servos some.
Once you have the basic glove(fabric) to then the 'feeler modules' on fingers, to then the outer glove to encase it all, it should be more or less perfect with then the arm guard as the battery pack & sync aspect of the tech. It'd look a little like a nintendo power glove, but amazing tech & ideas here to enhance.
This guy is amazing. I hope he figures out better and better ways to improve it as he works.
Lucas is so innocent but not being able to say NO to Linus's questions is telling 🤣
I mean... who is he to tell you how to use _your_ glove? ;)
My word... This just hit on a new LTT series. Bringing brilliant open source prototyping projects in and doing an episode like this. Then for a follow up, give 2 staff members 4 days and LTT knowledge and resources to produce the next prototype. It would be amazing to see how far you guys to go in a few days and massive reach.
Just a slight correction, at 5:20 you say that the index knuckles only have open and closed positions for the fingers, however this is not the case, the knuckles support a full range of open to closed tracking through the touch sensors, though it can be a little wonky particularly when perspiration is involved, and many games don't make use of the full range of motion. Still, I've been waiting to consumer level force and touch feedback solutions for years and so I'm so happy to see the DIY hobbyist space making moves in that area too.
@@SkeleTonHammer Ah right, yeah, I can see that being a problem. One-size-fits-all design only works so far. Would be nice if valve could supply and support a range of controller sizes.
This kid is going places. At least I hope. Keep working on it, it won't be easy, but man, you've got talent! Big props, I am amazed!
This is amazing. I imagined a whole body suit like this back when I was a kid. Of course I never had the education or skills to build it, but it’s cool that we’re moving in that direction, if slowly.
It doesn't have to be this complicated, with gears and whatnot. I've been trying to give away a multi-billion dollar idea for ages just because I want to see it done
Inlay stretch fabric gloves with position sensor electrodes. Bam. Done.
The electrodes would read the distance between each one in relation to the other electrodes and will accurately read the distance.
This would result in one-size-fits-all vr gloves that accurately model your hand in vr and would track your hand with 100% efficiency
dude, this is amazing. not a lot of people have the selflessness to go open source and i think that decision alone is going to make the journey towards mainstream gloves speed up exponentially.
I always knew the secret to haptic feedback in VR was gonna be a tension string setup like this.
Yeah, it definitely feels like the most natural solution, as Linus said, it's kinda the same way our fingers work in the first place, but in the opposite direction
Same... ever since I saw this exact approach demoed 15 years ago.
which is obvious as it simulates the tendons and natural design of the body thus making it far more natural while still being really simple. Obviously there's more robust systems but string based is generally good enough for most of the stuff
You must like the word "obvious"
@@TheMalevolentSpoon obviously
As a VR developer I know how incredibly hard it is to get VR across convincingly in video and I would love to see a follow-up video where you use LIV or other mixed reality camera tech to show it off!
2:04 Ah yes...middle out, I see Lucas is a man of culture as well
That was honestly a very cool video.
Reminds me of that crazy audio setup that cost 35,000$ where Linus said he wouldn't cry (XD). Love these kinds of videos where you have the inventor/professional go through the item with you. Keep it up!
Been following Lucas and his progress for a while and love that he gets such a stage show these off. Eventually, and I look forward to it, these might become legitimate (and perhaps even threatening to some) competitors for those gloves that cost way more than your usual consumer wants to spend on.
"it's a sex thing" just the summary of this video. I love seeing innovators and their creations like this as well as massive technological leaps like this too
Bearded Linus is a savage. I love it. He went from weird nerd that people joke about on the internet, to attractive nerd that people joke about on the internet. But now he seems more free.
Glad to see Lucas get more screen time for this. I'm really looking forward to seeing where his project goes and would definitely be going out and getting the bits to make my own if I had a 3D printer on hand for the requisite parts which aren't shelf-purchase items. Or buying what's necessary from him or whoever he teams up with to provide the bits in future.
I'm sure this collab with LTT to show the LucidVR Project will help to make this evolve even faster!

Based on the very first clip, I know this is going to be a awesome video as always.
it's always a good time when a linus video comes out because you know you can relax

Linus needs to invest in this kid asap!!! I haven't seen Linus this excited in awhile. Lucas is doing amazing work and excited to see the future.
This is amazing! The tech is really cool and well thought out. I've been following Lucas for a while now, and I love that he made it onto LTT! Indie projects FTW!
Nice to see Linus partnering up with smaler creators.
If anyone from LTT is reading this, please feature more folks like Lucas on the show. I really love seeing cool stuff made by small creators / makers. :)
good content. giving a platform to someone doing really cool work. love it. more pls.
This one of those rare things I’ve known about for almost as long as it’s existed!
Linus supporting the little guys with great ideas ftw, i really hope this gives his project a needed boost of supporters because it looks sick af
Man we’re finally coming to the point where we can actually feel things with our hands in VR. Lets just hope it will be less expensive for mainstream use.
You can build one for $60 I would say that's pretty damn cheap.
In the future you will own nothing
Everything will be for hire

@@awesomedude222 you can get stuff printed it would probably only an like an extra $20 to each glove to use a printing service.
Best Linus quote: "I know Kung Fu" lol
That's a Matrix quote...
I was just full on cheering through this whole video. This tech is incredible. Imagine when he puts a couple hundred dollars in, instead of 60
May seem like Linus is over reacting but it's hard to convey emotions and feelings to what happening, I can guarantee these reactions are genuine.
He's literally reaching and touching the virtual world. I would be reacting at a similar level he was if I tried it (I would probably be laughing a lot though because that is usually my reaction when my mind is blown by something).
Can't feel dropped items
yeah, the moment I saw that I thought "too bulky, it should be pulled further up the arm" so it was cool to see his plans match exactly with my thoughts. Measuring out the wires for the fingers and minimizing the spools down to perfectly fit only THAT much in order to remove a lot of bulk would be a great way to lose some weight and some of the shake. With a gauntlet approach, you could make a flat box that goes on the bottom of the forearm as far up the wrist as is comfortable that's about the width of a small cellphone and about the height of a double A battery for all the electronics and for the electrical wires to extend out from. With a proper velcro strap at the top of your wrist, it would isolate the weight on your forearm and leave your hand weightless in the VR.
I remember when Lucas first started posting about his first version and the subsequent process for improving the gloves, so awesome for LTT to bring him on to showcase how awesome this guys brain is haha in the words of my anti technology grandpa "he's one smart cookie"
