  • Hello. Today I have a video on the Varjo Aero. AS OF THE POSTING OF THIS VIDEO (subject to change as tech changes) this is probably my favorite VR headset I have tried even though it has some massive flaws. VR Technology is so much further along than we thing and this device is very exciting. I hope you enjoy my video on it and my views regarding it. I had so much fun testing this headset. Thanks to Varjo for letting me test it.

    I turn 51 tomorrow, and this video actually made me a little wistful and sad. You guys that have 25 and 30 years on me are going to get to see so much really cool and amazing technology. By the time you're my age, full-body tracking suits, full motion gaming pads (treadmills), and lifelike visuals will be the *norm*, at reasonable consumer prices, and the "cutting edge" stuff you'll be experiencing is stuff we can't even *imagine* right now.
    What we've got now is the kind of stuff I dreamed of as a kid, drowning myself in any sci-fi medium I could get my hands on. I'm so thankful and happy that I get to experience the beginnings of it, and at the same time, I wish I could be around to see what you guys will be experiencing and how mind-blowingly amazing it will all be forty or fifty years from now.

      To be honest, I would say you would get to experience the best of the best VR tech as well. Just look back in the last 5 years and look at smartphones. The leap in tech is absolutely insane, mainly become of competition between manufacturers. Same is happening with the VR industry since there is more competition between manufacturers and that will only accelerate innovations. So I would say, look back at this comment in like 2025-2026 and you will surprised.

    The Quest 2 has definitely spoiled me. The price/feature ratio is heavily on the Q2's side. It's definitely not perfect, but it's more than good enough. With that being said, I would like to see an affordable headset that isn't tied to a data mining company like Facebook. I'd love to see the Aero at under $1000.

    • @a8lg6p
      @a8lg6p Před 2 lety +28

      Yeah, before Q2 I was like... I love Steam; Steam VR sounds interesting, but...is it worth it? $1000 is way too much just to find out. After a few months with the Q2, I'm a full blown VR junkie and am like, hell yeah I'd pay $1000 for VR... But for one that has to be plugged in all the time? That I can only use in one specific dedicated room? Are you kidding me? When I can take my Q2 on vacation and do anything from the Quest store on it, AND at home I can play Steam games and take advantage of my massive Geforce RTX graphics card wirelessly anywhere in the house? I too would prefer Valve or almost anyone over Facebook, but at this point, I don't see how it's a fair contest. $700 extra for what, slightly better FOV and FPS, and the mentioned disadvantages?

      IMO that's why facebook is trying to get the jump on creating the meta verse, they want to establish their space in VR before the manufacturer wave hits. I think they want to control the idea of virtual real estate. Its a completely new asset class that will start to pop up as virtual reality gets popular. Someone has to host the servers...

      If you can't afford this comfortably, it's not worth it.
      At the rate that VR hardware technology is advancing there will be more top end headsets to talk about in just a few years, and technology like this will eventually become cheaper and cheaper, and more standard as time goes on. It may even take a bit, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was an average headset you could just go pick up within 10 years, specs wise.
      Honestly, it's kind of hard to predict, things can only move so fast but the hardware just moves so fast.
      The original vive was only 5 years ago.

    Well said. I'm 41. I remember as a kid playing on an Atari 2600 infront of a boob tube floor model TV with the neighbor kid for hours.. I remember the playable display for the OG Gameboy at Walmart. The 3DO and VirtualBoy too. Got my own SNES, N64, GameCube, 360, PS3&4. All dinosaur hardware now. From my perspective, hardware wise, the first Occulus is to VR what the OG Gameboy was for gaming as well as gamers. Coming from that level of tech, to what you crazy kids have access to today is mind blowing. The techs acceleration of development in the last decade is truly impressive, the result of great minds combined with many long hours at work and vast sums of money.
    I patiently await the day when most headsets are no bigger than a pair of meaty sunglasses. I'd be ok if all the VR hardware was actually just run off your smart phone in your back pocket or haptic vest. The headset would be composed of a set of screens and lenses only.
    One day soon I'm sure. We will get there. And after that, the next logical step after haptics fully evolve is full neural integration with hardware. Probably VR/AR contact lenses at first. Wonder if I'll still be around? I'd spend $2000 on a headset, sure. It'd take a sec to set aside for one. Priorities first. Always.
    Remember that no matter how good the virtual world is, you can't survive to play again another day if you neglect actual reality. Pay your bills. Take a shower. Eat good quality food, you'll live longer=game longer. Call your guardian figure on Legal Guardian Day.
    Stay frosty.

    Honestly, I'm really surprised that they actually made a lower-end model for consumers. Usually it's not even made available to us. I doubt I'd buy something like this, but if the FOV got better or if we could get a standardized wireless streaming solution that handled the huge amount of data necessary, it could be awesome. Having used the Pimax 5K Super and the CV1, I think I more lean towards needing wireless as a convenience to use the headset more often, followed by non-base station tracking. My play-space is very occluded a lot of the time, so I need something that can handle that, especially as the Pimax headsets have a hard connecting with/being seen by the base stations as-is for me.

Still to this day I want to experience VR so much, but here in Brazil a single headset can cost 8 full salaries, not including the PC which is more than that. My only option for now is buying the Oculus Quest 2, here is around R$ 3800,00 but still with another headset around the corner, I need to try and save every cent I can. I wish one day to experience the bleeding edge of VR, still for now it's just a Dream, but I hope it gets cheaper and cheaper on the future so I can finally experience it.

      Heyy, I'm from Brazil too. I wanted a VR headset for so long and literally put months of salaries aside to get a Vive Pro.
      It's, in fact, 8 full salaries + a high end PC, which gets quite pricey if you don't have any of them.
      Long story short, after having the Vive, I discovered the Quest 2. It's a standalone headset which plays almost all VR games you can dream of, such as Beat Saber, VRChat and others. You don't need a PC (but you can plug it in one) as it has a CPU/GPU inside already! It's just as capable as any other VR headset, has essentially the same resolution, has pretty decent audio built in (but you can plug your 3.5 jack and listen with your earbuds if you want), and I must say, having literally tried both side-by-side, the features of the Quest 2 are *so* good, that I literally prefer it over the Vive, which is MUCH pricier. It's also a TANK compared to the Vive, which breaks just to look at.
      You can get one on MercadoLivre NEW for R$3000 if you look around enough. However, if you have parents or friends which live in the USA or similar, you can get it for HALF the price, R$1500 - one salary. Yes, it's still a lot, but look, it's much more affordable, since you only need it and nothing more :)
      You literally get to know the full blown VR experience with it, there are essentially no drawbacks compared to any other pricier headset. Even more as a beginner, it will satisfy your needs plenty ahaha
      I hope this helps getting your hopes up! Take care!

      Really? It costs 20$ for you to fix that, but at this price range you probably already own great audio.
      Personally I prefer it this way.

    I haven wanting to upgrade my Rift for the longest time , was looking at the Vive Pro or the index but now i have a third option. Honestly the fact it doesn't have a mic or head set works for me. I have some great headsets with Mic that i would rather use. Thanks for the Video and info . great review

    I have personally been a VR user since the Oculus Rift and I whole heartedly agree that this is incredible. I remember the day when I first got to try VR as a little kid and saying it blew my mind is an understatement. It is so good to see this magic of sorts finally becoming what I saw it as when I was little. I am going to wait to by this however, the ONLY reason being the price. Honestly though. I'm not even mad or even a little bit irritated, they just took a massive leap that I am super happy about.
