      Can you see the virtual screen well without glasses?

    • @tirkentube
      @tirkentube Před 7 měsíci

      i really would have liked to see you attempt some VR on those glasses. perhaps using either phone/google VR through the phone, or even PC VR through steam.
      the glasses have head tracking, 3D, and you could use a gamepad for the controller, similar to other VR setups.

    Loving that there’s an adaptor for prescription lenses, it’s nice to be able to see while you play 😅
    This does seem like it would be a cool accessory for gaming, and something that I’d be interested in picking up in the future. But for now I’ll stick to watching videos like these. Awesome video!

  • @willrussell01
    @willrussell01 Před rokem +2

    There’s also this modification you can install or commission someone to install on the Virtual Boy that taps into the eye piece data and outputs a clean VGA signal which you can then use with an HDMI adapter. I can imagine the Virtual Boy experience being better when using the original hardware. With no emulation or glitches.

  • @erneststackhouse1133

    The elusive Virtual Boy missing from my collection. This may be a good work around in your near future, so says my magic 8 ball.
    All Virtual Boys I've found so far all have the right eye not working. So this may be the only way for me to get that Virutal Boy game play.
    Thanks NintenDrew!

    Very interesting and creative experiment !!! This reminds me of when I was 8 years old and I hooked up my Super Nintendo into my dad’s VHS camcorder and I played it by putting my eye into the tiny 1” inch viewfinder. 😂 I love technology.

  • @redstonecommander5190
    @redstonecommander5190 Před 10 měsíci

    Honestly, think that playing virtual boys with this type of style instead of the original having your room in the background along with the game that you’re currently playing such as Mario’s tennis without the need of having a weird background that is all completely black like with the original virtual boy does and you can see the background of your room I think it’s much more better this way plus it doesn’t even hurt your eyes when you use it in a much more longer extended period of time

  • @chadd990
    @chadd990 Před rokem

    Wow. I work as a delivery driver for some of those apps that you might know about. I usually bring my switch with me and play while I’m waiting on a trip. These glasses would be so much better, and the black out cover would prevent glare. I need these so bad.

    It’s so easy for Nintendo to make a virtual boy mini console, or some re-release of it using some cheap LCDs today. I wish they would make it.

  • @binkman71
    @binkman71 Před rokem

    I have a pair of these I bought to use with SteamDeck and with my iPad for watching movies while travelling. I have to say you left out one very important benefit to them: you no longer crane your neck downward to look at the device screen! Much more inclined to keep your head straight up and looking in a more natural forward position. :)

  • @JessicaFEREM
    @JessicaFEREM Před rokem

    I could imagine these being really cool for getting into VR, with the blockout lenses. all you would need are controllers and a really long USB C cable. these do need a headphone jack of some sort, but you can always pair BT headphones or use an HDMI audio grabber with the device you want to use.

  • @charliekahn4205

  • @redstonecommander5190
    @redstonecommander5190 Před 10 měsíci

    I mean, it does make your ears bit more uncomfortable with those things that holds your glasses up to your face but still it doesn’t hurt your eyes that much and doesn’t give you that much of a headache… Unless if you have your room in complete darkness

  • @CDRaff
    @CDRaff Před rokem

    Dude we totally agree on 3D stuff; especially games. When Sony started abandoning 3D they sold the 3D PS3 display for dirt cheap(I got the display, two sets of glasses, and two games for $150) and I had a whole lot of fun playing games like Motorstorm and Uncharted 3. I still have the display today, the glasses are dead though. I wish passive glasses had been released first, I really think the active glasses(with all their issues) soured most anyone who would have really gotten into it.
    3D movies could live on in VR if the studios would get behind it. The 3D works so much better when you are in a "controlled" environment like VR, and I suspect that with the Blackout glasses and 3D movies on these glasses are is just as immersive for the same reasons.

  • @capame3737
    @capame3737 Před 4 měsíci

  • @Chaos89P
    @Chaos89P Před rokem

    I swear I've seen of this concept in some fictional work, albeit with "touch capabilities." The future just keeps arriving, and I might be more interested if the adapter had an extra external plug of some sort for when the battery no longer holds a charge.

  • @barsaf9989

  • @Gamefreak924
    @Gamefreak924 Před rokem

    Kinda cool that it has black out as an option. I've tried both AR and VR headsets and VR gave me a bad experience due to it tricking my brain a little too well, so to speak (VR disassociation). So for it to offer the option of immersion without taking actual reality out of the equation, that's nice. Still not my kind of thing to buy, but certainly on the right track.

    I would love to have one of these glasses, but... living in Brazil is very expensive, and very difficult to buy things like that... US$379,00 is more expensive than a good salary here (when having a good job, with good salary, one person here can have US$200, if it's lucky enough). And the tax for import is more US$480,00 (I hate brazilian taxes).
    The only chance to me for having one of those glasses someday, is just if I move myself and live outside Brazil... X.x

  • @kriswestfall2616
    @kriswestfall2616 Před rokem

    I picked up a pair of these shortly before going on vacation a couple weeks back and man, these things were amazing to use on the flight and in the hotel room. Now they go and announce they'll be releasing Nebula for Windows in April/May which will allow you to view a simulated 21:9 monitor in front of your face so now you'll have a portable ultrawide monitor to use. My only complaint so far is there's when using them on my phone there's no elegant way to keep your phone charged while using them (most USB-C splitters just do power and/or data, none I could find will do DisplayPort) so here's hoping in the next revision NReal takes this into consideration. Now to see if there's a 3D Virtual Boy emulator on Android and try this out! (No Steam Deck sadly, lol)

  • @OneUp7
    @OneUp7 Před rokem

    These glasses can also be used to play PC games in 3D using super depth 3d, or even better for compatible games, Geo11. I'm tempted to pick up a pair to use for this

    @PiN_MiKE Před rokem

    Awesome. I’m not too familiar with steam deck, but I know of it. Do you need an adapter to use it to play Virtual Boy? Also what controller do you use to play it? The VB had a crazy controller with 2 d pads and 2 face buttons on each side, and 2 shoulder buttons. I guess a new controller would easily do the same, but I might get confused since I’m used to using both left and right face buttons. Haha. Thanks Drew. Cool video. I wanna experience VB like this!
