Wow, looking at how much VR has grown, this fills me with joy knowing how enthusiastic and excited people were back then and how people are even more excited now.
when you have the headset you can still see your controllers in other way. For example in some games with vr you can see fake hands instead of your controllers so I think that the motion controller were visible even with the vr.
That it is, feel very privileged to have been able to try it out at a booth at an expo over the weekend. Just scary how easily one could get lost in it. Absolutely phenomenal though
I tried it today, I remember how mind blowing it was to see the controllers in your hands, but not actually see your hands. If you can't afford it, you at least need to try it once, it's really cool!
+Facing Worlds I tried the Vive two months ago and I can assure you that they are not payed or overacting at all. This was the craziest experience I've ever had in my life.......!
Wow this is amazing!! I am 13 years old and after countless attempts of trying to recreate the vive using infrared transmitters and receivers that my school has offered me and some basic trigonometry have realized how much work and effort was put into this. I have nothing but respect for the developer team, and hope you guys keep it going. Thank you so much for inspiring me and many others. Keep it up!!
I've experienced it before, And I'm just gonna say, It IS Really hard to explain whats its like. if I had to explain, I would say, It seems exactly like reality
It seems like reality because it is reality to you that moment. Our brain takes in information and builds the surrounding reality upon that. It works like a good optical illusion. You know it’s not real, but you still see it. You can’t deside not to see what you see around you.
@@Swifter1243 It doesn't actually feel that way. If it was 2D then sure it would feel like the game's taped to your face, but given all VR games are done in stereoscopic 3D the depth is actually there (and so is the immersion).
I got to try virtual reality for the first time the other day, and I actually got to do it twice. The first time was on Microsoft's Mixed Reality at a Microsoft store and it was a pretty cool experience but pretty much what I had imagined VR to be like kind of like the slide goggles that showed pictures when I was young except extremely high tech of course. I walked away kind of excited about The direction that VR might be but wasn't sold. I later found myself at a MicroCenter and got to try an HTC Vive and was absolutely floored. I knew the Vive was supposed to be top of the line but couldn't have ever imagined what VR could actually be. The immersion was fantastic even though maybe not perfect (with outside noise, and light creep) but still I found myself losing the outside world in this demo. I don't think I stopped smiling the entire time I had the headset on, or for probably the next 30 minutes. As soon as the demo was ending I said to my wife even before removing the headset "YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS!" (she hasn't tried it yet) but she was worried about being a burden because the store was about to close. I told her that if I had to rate my two first VR Experiences the Microsoft Mixed Reality was about a 6.5, The HTC Vive on the other hand was a 9.5. If you are looking for VR then look no further than the Vive. Not a schill just a pure reaction to the experience that I had. I hope this helps someone who is interested but has yet to try it. I would say Try it first, but you will only want one even more. I'm excited about the possibility of owning one in the future myself. I just upgraded my PC so my tech piggy bank will have to grow back up for the next toy but anyway great job Valve and HTC and I'm super excited to see what you guys bring in the future!
10 months later, did you get a headset? :) my Vive has been one of the best purchases I made! But if you didn't get one, go for a Rift + Touch, much cheaper!
Im a time traveller and I can tell you that weightless VR goggles that do low latency 8K 240fps worn with tactile response suits are the best thing ever invented after electricity.
The most impressive video I ever watched in 10 years, and will be the most impressive video after 10 years. This video will be remembered by the entrance of the virtual reality.
The GLaDOS model was changes quite a bit from Portal 2, so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. There's no reason that they would create a separate GLaDOS model just for demos.
+what else? Hey man, I thought the same when I tried the Oculus DK1, i got really dizzy and It wasn't really that immersive...But 1 month ago I tried the Vive, and that was INCREDIBLE, I felt so so sooo immersed and It totally changed my mind. I'm really looking fordward to own a vive, it's amazing. So yeah, It's the first time we can say the technology is there :D Cheers
I remember watching this so many times back in 2016 whilst waiting for my Vive Pre to arrive. It felt like the nearest thing to VR without owning a headset. But the crazy thing is, when the headset arrived, it blew me away. This video, as good as it is, never prepared me for the feeling of being somewhere else. I still have vivid memories of the first VR tutorial. :) In many respects, VR is like the Matrix. No one can be told what VR is. You have to see it for yourself :)
+Valve News Network So the video's out in a minute? Cool dude ;) I hope you can get one soon^TM and I hope you have more info about all the little pieces of the games on the steam website as well
+Bouche Dag Tomorrow, not only am I trying to save up for the Vive, but my editing/streaming rig decided to die today, so I am trying to get a video out on my laptop. Not the best situation there. lol.
I was smiling throughout the whole video. i felt the passion valve is putting into these. More than vr itself, im impressed by their way of expressing everything. The potential we all strive for. Superb. I bet you guys over at the studio were so happy and enthusiastic to work on the video for this one you glorious bastards. stay innovative.
I’m currently playing boneworks in VR, it has a physics engine so most of the things you do will feel a lot like real life. You have to do the reloading as well which makes it super immersive, if you’ve never tried VR and you get the chance to you should definitely take it
+Gorblats Can always tell who hasn't tried VR. They use words like "gimmick" when referring to it instead of "incredible", "transformative", "mind-blowing"
+Dexcrides There was definitely some hover junkering in there. My Vive still hasn't shipped but I already bought and installed Hover Junkers. It makes me feel a little better just knowing that it occupies my drive.
+Eth3431 HL3 was cancelled because it was pretty shit and valve couldn't afford to receive so much hate after fans hyped it up so much. Go stub a toe buddy, its your fault.
+Storm Storkanus Its in the right track I believe, but It wont until the prices fall, for the equipment, as well as for the required hardware. If they try to keep this as a premium mean of entertainment, I am afraid very few companies will take the risk to make games, as the market will be small. I truly wish this doesn't become a gimmick such the Wii technology.
Tea & Biscuits Look,if only a few people can buy it, the market will be small, thus there will be a few games. This is a vicious circle that "could" end up badly for VR.
Mr.Infinity It very well fall into the big deathspiral similar to the kinect. I fear too. Price is high, so buyers wont buy as many copies. Developers wont make games due to VR games only working for those which have the console, basically niche market. So, developers will wait for more people to buy vr to make games, but more people wont buy VR because they are waiting for more good games to make it worth the investment. Extra Credits did an amazing job explaining this, ill link the video below.
I really enjoy seeing the mixture of reality and VR in one with the proper tracking gear. Props to you guys for making this video. Personally I think this is how most Twitch channels should be or any gaming channel for that matter. Immersive content which requires at least more than 1 person to record so you can see what it's like from multiple perspectives.
+Jackald I don't think it's a matter of making it LOOK like a grouoexperience. It IS a group experience. I don't like doing VR alone, it feels like a weird, loserish thing to do. Kinda like drinking or smoking alone.
It is always fascinating to see how people try first time VR, they instantly become children, open, happy! I appreciate the work of the creators, and damn, I wish I had one of this VR set, being poor sucks at my 20...
In about two years, EVERYONE will have one. It's just like the cellphone explosion of 2007. 10 years ago, NOBODY had a phone that took pictures, played video, or had an "app." Today ... who DOESN'T have one??? And that was coming out of 2007 -- today's tech is so much more advanced. Just wait two years. No one will ever buy another "controller."
»Just wait two years. No one will ever buy another controller.« You're drawing false conclusions from an odd comparison. Cellphones are a whole different story, as they are a convenience in everyday life. I won't doubt that VR gaming will be big in a couple of years and probably enter mainstream, but classic gaming with controller or keyboard certainly won't die out. While some genres have always strived for more realism in terms of graphics, those are two different experiences. There will be a decline. But like TV didn't replace radio, VR won't replace "classic gaming". Mobile gaming will also be basically unaffected by VR. (At least until Augmented Reality like Google Glasses won't evolve so far that it can be done casually while traveling.)
Now to wait for the technology to get even more awesome games. And some day, maybe even hl3 in VR? Valve has at every point in time broken limits with their newest Half Life release. I hope the same will happen with this coming generation of tech.
+ArinsMind The Vive works just as well just sitting down. But unlike the Oculus, it can do roomscale, too. The Oculus does not have 360 degree tracking. As soon as you or the yet to be released controllers move out of sight of the camera, nothing will be tracked. The Vive lighthouse tech on the other hand tracks everything in your playspace.
***** That is what I said. Also, that means it is not 360 tracking because you can't hold your controller behind your back for example. As soon as anything is not in view of the camera, it is not tracked. The Vive solved that problem.
Farewell VHS Yeah, but it's still to expensive. I am pc gamer, i have not even one console. I have the Gear VR and the S7. That was also expensive... i don't have money for all VR headsets. But i love this shit. :D So i just wait till it gets cheaper.
It is the year 2019 and vive is still amazing to this day. Thank you for making this happen to our community and other youtubers.! This technology is the best thing i've ever seen in my life!
tripping on a wire - no, its easily manageable, not crashing into walls when game asks you to do very quick movement and before "chaperone bounds" have time to appear you are behind them ... - but that is more of developer problem than that of hardware
I absolutely love VR gaming & experiences. Watching video of VR gameplay is not providing the really amazing immersion feeling that the player has, you have to try many games with the helment on. From starters you are seeing everything in real 3D, not a 2D view as watching monitor/tv; not even a 3DTV because the PoV is fixed, while in VR it follows your head, you can now see everything with depth. The real scale of things is incredible, If you play a space game you will feel yourself so small against the size of planets, stars, the multiverse. If you play RPG or horror games, the big monsters are going to mean a very different sensation when you see a giant horror next to you. Watching distant things, Flying, driving simulations with speed illusions. Seriously, I cannot even also mention the fact that you move around that world and you can now do real actions while playing like using swords, punching with box gloves, using BOWS (closing your eye to aim), etc. The immersion is over 9000!! and it freaking works. VR is going to create a new to enjoy games that is not only to play it but to experience it: ua-cam.com/video/rZ3I-DxcSeg/v-deo.html
I remember watching this video four years ago when the vive was new and vr had just hit the scene. I was super bummed that i would probably never experience vr because I was young, so obviously couldn't afford an 800$ hulk of machinery like this, nor did i have a strong enough pc to run the games. But now I'm here, four years later with the Oculus Quest, and I love vr! And I just love going back to this video and thinking about how far vr has come, from something that, to most people, is completely inaccessible, to something that anyone can enjoy, no pc required!
Now *this* was filmed in such a brilliant way. It really helped the 2D viewer understand a bit of how VR feels.
Yeah. Back then so many people couldn’t fathom what the vr experience was like
So many billions of humans before us and we are the first that get to experience virtual reality! Consider yourselves extremely lucky!
I meant on a commercial scale. Jeez there's always someone..

And that was coming out of 2007 -- today's tech is so much more advanced. Just wait two years. No one will ever buy another "controller."
»Just wait two years. No one will ever buy another controller.«
You're drawing false conclusions from an odd comparison.
Cellphones are a whole different story, as they are a convenience in everyday life.
I won't doubt that VR gaming will be big in a couple of years and probably enter mainstream, but classic gaming with controller or keyboard certainly won't die out.
While some genres have always strived for more realism in terms of graphics, those are two different experiences.
There will be a decline.
But like TV didn't replace radio, VR won't replace "classic gaming".
Mobile gaming will also be basically unaffected by VR. (At least until Augmented Reality like Google Glasses won't evolve so far that it can be done casually while traveling.)
:)
That's a time span of nearly 10 years, not a couple.
I know what you feel.
God, I wish I have one!
What an amazing piece of technology! This will truly change the form of electronic entertainment!
well I know now what I want for Christmas
+oriana garrido hell yeah!
Not the Vive ?
Sw3ggur
I would prefer HL3 than a HTC VIVE
(but.. *cough* if ther's HL3 on the actual Vive thing.. I would definetelly take it)
+oriana garrido 800$
but it's your PC vr ready?
Now to wait for the technology to get even more awesome games. And some day, maybe even hl3 in VR? Valve has at every point in time broken limits with their newest Half Life release. I hope the same will happen with this coming generation of tech.
OMG I can't believe you predicted the future 😂...I mean Alyx is not HL3 but is a HL on VR :0
Hey dude can I borrow your time machine
I'm more impressed with the setup they made to be able to film it.
+Cloud Stratus I am interest too, It seems not a consumer tech vive can provide currently.
"Can I go first?"
Immediately doesn't go first
Yea, but can we have just as much fun... sitting in a chair? That's what I want to know.
+ArinsMind The Vive works just as well just sitting down. But unlike the Oculus, it can do roomscale, too. The Oculus does not have 360 degree tracking. As soon as you or the yet to be released controllers move out of sight of the camera, nothing will be tracked. The Vive lighthouse tech on the other hand tracks everything in your playspace.
+ArinsMind No, but thats the same as asking if playing soccer sitting on chair in the middle of the field is as much fun as really playing it.
+ArinsMind
Just go to IKEA, they have plenty of chairs! And for good prices too!
+ArinsMind of course you can!!
*****
That is what I said. Also, that means it is not 360 tracking because you can't hold your controller behind your back for example. As soon as anything is not in view of the camera, it is not tracked. The Vive solved that problem.
I just want one sooo badly, like unbox it, smell the all new scent of HTC Viveness... ahh....
One day.. Hopefully... One day..
Smells like fresh paint, weirdly.
let me tell you, it's worth it.
I loved every second of my brother's vive, totally worth the wait. Someday, everyone will have one hopefully
Same. I really want one, but the price is just too much.
Smells nauseating to be honest. Like paint on plastic rubber nauseating.
Wish I had $800
ya me tree
ChaosBelow ya me 4
ChaosBelow ี
it cost 1000 bucks in Russia, man. this is fucking crazy
ChaosBelow buy rift you can use it in steam and it is much more cheaper now.
Proud owner of a Valve Index. Setup was a breeze, love the near-perfect Linux compatibility.
Looking forward to what's to come!
I'm pretty sure there is a lot of HL3 announcements hidden in this video.
? How so
@@bonbin6053 u made me cry again
Its awesome as fuck, but its too expensive.
Farewell VHS
Yeah, but it's still to expensive. I am pc gamer, i have not even one console.
I have the Gear VR and the S7. That was also expensive... i don't have money for all VR headsets. But i love this shit. :D So i just wait till it gets cheaper.
Yeah....

Don't spread viruses under my comments!
Just wait for v2 which will be some time in 2017.
Vic B when did they announce it
This sold VR reality for me
Virtual reality reality
+Christopher Wright I need to go to the ATM machine and enter my PIN number so I have enough money to buy a VR reality headset :3
It is the year 2019 and vive is still amazing to this day. Thank you for making this happen to our community and other youtubers.!
This technology is the best thing i've ever seen in my life!
This is the only thing I've ever seen that I've been tempted to sell a kidney for.
Can i play half life 3 on the vive?
hl3 will only come as vive exclusive
valve is actually making 3 full vr exclusive games
Ice Carbon X I guess they figured out somehow
I could imagine someone tripping on the wire
LoL
I mean, if you feel the cord you could just activate the camera mode real quick and untangle yourself from it.
It's surprisingly not as annoying as you would think. You sort of learn to keep clear of it.
tripping on a wire - no, its easily manageable, not crashing into walls when game asks you to do very quick movement and before "chaperone bounds" have time to appear you are behind them ... - but that is more of developer problem than that of hardware
I absolutely love VR gaming & experiences. Watching video of VR gameplay is not providing the really amazing immersion feeling that the player has, you have to try many games with the helment on. From starters you are seeing everything in real 3D, not a 2D view as watching monitor/tv; not even a 3DTV because the PoV is fixed, while in VR it follows your head, you can now see everything with depth. The real scale of things is incredible, If you play a space game you will feel yourself so small against the size of planets, stars, the multiverse. If you play RPG or horror games, the big monsters are going to mean a very different sensation when you see a giant horror next to you. Watching distant things, Flying, driving simulations with speed illusions. Seriously, I cannot even also mention the fact that you move around that world and you can now do real actions while playing like using swords, punching with box gloves, using BOWS (closing your eye to aim), etc. The immersion is over 9000!! and it freaking works. VR is going to create a new to enjoy games that is not only to play it but to experience it: ua-cam.com/video/rZ3I-DxcSeg/v-deo.html
Can't wait to trip over that wire.
I'm actually afraid of how drunk I'll get while playing this and jump out the second story window for real.
the htc vive tells you if you go too far out of your space or get close to a wall.
Pyronectic Yeah but my drunk ass will ignore all warnings
You get a virtual reality system, and you expect me to believe you're going to waste it pretending to work in a fast food restaurant?
Its a allegory for how we can never escape our horrible lives.
+Liberals Are Insane I was not hired by McDonalds, so this will fulfill my dream.
I got mine in November as an early Christmas gift for both me and my mom. It's absolutely awesome, don't regret spending nearly 1000 getting it
Can you plug it into your PC and just watch movies with it?
Yes. With Virtual Desktop for example.
NO
If they say make a movie with a 360° view ,than yee
That's what I was thinking. Who needs a movie theater when you have an HTC Vive. Assuming the screen has a high enough resolution.
"movies"
Giant spiders in VR? FUCK THAT I'LL DIE!
Okay valve, we have waited long enough for HL3, at least a trailer would be nice, I mean, its 2017
AwesomeDoge2334 AwesomeDoge2334 HL3 on vive?
AwesomeDoge2334 AwesomeDoge2334 You have to wait.
AwesomeDoge2334 AwesomeDoge2334 or portal 3 but hey it's just a suggestion
I guess volvo stopped making games altogether
i heard they are big in the car industry now
1:16 "It makes you feel like Spiderman."
Oh cool, so if my job flipping burgers at burger king isn't mundane enough I get to come home and do it in the luxury of my own living room! Sick!
A stealth VR game would be awesome
Better than the oculus by a long shot
+Dust Oculus are going to release tracked controllers as well later this year, but yeah until they do the HTC Vive has a massive hardware advantage.
+Santarii Oculus still has not a full room scale.. That's where the real imersion starts.
The tracking will be roomscale when the Oculus Touch controllers ship with a 2nd tracking camera.
You're making the htc vive looks about 100 times better than it actually is
I need this in my life NOW!
I remember watching this video four years ago when the vive was new and vr had just hit the scene. I was super bummed that i would probably never experience vr because I was young, so obviously couldn't afford an 800$ hulk of machinery like this, nor did i have a strong enough pc to run the games. But now I'm here, four years later with the Oculus Quest, and I love vr! And I just love going back to this video and thinking about how far vr has come, from something that, to most people, is completely inaccessible, to something that anyone can enjoy, no pc required!
BULSHIT!! THE CHEAP PLATIC CRAP FROM VALVE SUCKS! AND VALVE HATES CUSTOMERSE EVEN MORE THAN STEAM HATES CUSTOMERS!!!
Its awesome that they got to play this. But it triggers me that these people are playing the lab and don't even know what portal is
Sean Ferguson at 3:32 one of them drew atlas in tilt brush
I have this VR headset. I got it Christmas. It was amazing. We play it almost everyday.
thats the coolest thing i ever saw
Once I saw real mountains, dogs and reefs.
That cord in the back though...
Cordless vr is now a thing BTW. Go grab a quest 3.
WHEN HALF LIFE 3???
No… portal dog
This was a genius way to advertise the htc vive. Good job valve.
I just tried one out at my friends and it was the coolest thing ever keep up the great work I can't wait to see what you bring us in the future
If you see this comment,Gabe,send me a HTC Vive :D

Maybe not THIS way
I have a HTC Vive I've been having it for 4 years
Wow, this is actually a good way of describing the experience.
1:26 This is Borealis...HL3 leaked
Not really man..not really
It would be pretty cool to play Half-Life 3 with thi... oh, right...
hey, Half life 3 confirmed, VR = 2 letters, Steam = 1 word, 2 + 1 = 3, half life 3 confirmed
The hardest part of this video is not buying the headset but finding true fun friends.

4 years later and this headset is still better in terms of tracking than pretty much anything else.
Still it’s amazing how far we have come in such little time
