We built a car that you drive with real-life video game lag, and used it for an ill-advised, mostly-unscientific experiment about motion sickness.
In case it wasn't obvious: we did this in a private area away from public roads and other traffic, and I insisted on more safety checks than William and Michael would normally have. Don't try this unless you're doing the same!

Any safety is more than these two normally have
If I am guessing correctly, there would be no safety checks at all without you. ;)
@@JackMine007 You would be guessing 100% correct.
If you want to find a way to make somebody motion sick, just have them put their head down in passenger seat of the car.

I love just how much Tom contrasts with Will and Michael.

Hey Tom my front bumper is falling off and I'm pretty sure it's your fault.

That is EXACTLY the feeling, omg
It’s like those muppets sketches where there was one celebrity doing nonsense with a muppet
The most nauseating thing about this is the usual Tom Scott quality intro with William Osman suddenly in the background. It feels so wrong.
*right
And then Michael's degenerate mug peering at us from inside the car.
4+ minutes of Michael Reeves and no profanity? Your editing skills are incredible
Micheal was being a good boy
m mmm yes
That's why the video was short
r/beatmetoit
I believe the video is 15 mins with Michael reeves being delusional
Michael: *"STOP STOP STOP!!!"*
Tom: "Really...?"
Also Tom: *"AAAAH!!!"*
Hilarious! :D
It was probably like "there's no way I got that close"
"TOO CLOSE TOO CLOSE"
These three make a delightful team.
@538_Galaxy dude, I know where you're coming from. I know you didn't ask, but I get into this unhealthy cycle of: push it close to the deadline, think the deadline is too close and say "I'll do it in the morning, after the deadline", and then just completely forgo doing the assignment because the deadline has been passed.
It sucks.

I don't see how this is clickbait. It delivered exactly what was promised in the title.

My god your editor had his/her work cut out for them just editing out Michael's cursing, lmao
True. They also have a video on William's channel and I'm still baffled how they gathered enough footage without Michael swearing in it.
It's nice to see Tom's son featured on the channel.

It’s almost like watching students trying to hang out with their high school teacher outside of school… Like they’re trying to be friends or something but it’s very awkward.… and yes Tom you are obviously the teacher in that scenario. They’re trying to behave so that your video doesn’t get demonetized
Love all three of your channels!
Tom weirdly does have that air to him. I think you get to be that way if you're a professional speaker. Gary from TechDif calls Tom out about this all the time

Abstract;
An experiment was performed to test the effects of imagery delay on the comfort and capability of a person performing a task. Participants where asked to drive a specialised car where the drivers side had been blacked out, instead the driver had to rely on a video feed from an external camera which enabled the introduction of a variable delay. The test was repeated for a range of delays and the effects on the drivers conform and abilites where measured.
We found that for delays on the order of 1 second or greater the delay is such as to not cause discomfort to the driver but did reduce their driving performance, while for delays on the order of miliseconds nausea was induced as well as general discomfort. Based on our findings we recommend the minimisation of latency in feeds from external cameras into a vehicle.
You must be able to get use to this or else it doesn't occur if the controller is stationery because there would be a time lag controlling military drones and unmade Luna/Mars explorer probes.
Saimons Isn’t “we found” a little unprofessional? I’m relatively new to this, so I’m probably wrong.
@@thegallivantinggamers4904 it is
@@thegallivantinggamers4904 Our testing indicates...
Jacob Ogden you dont want personal pronouns so something like “The results of the study indicated that...”
The most dissociative feeling in this video wasn't the input lag, it was William and Michael slowly coming into view at the start.
this reminds me a driving simulator I tried once that emulates the effects of drunk driving, with delayed inputs, blurred vision and less precise steering.
That's the expensive way of doing it. It's much cheaper to just drink and drive.
That sounds a lot like GTA 4.
@@TheRealAlpha2 Anybody ever played a badly pirated copy of GTA 4?
@@TheRealAlpha2 It felt more like GTA 2
Or GTA 5, if you actually have a drink in-game... but because of how time works in game, in order to experience it you have to drink until you're drunk enough and then run (or drunkenly stagger as quickly as possible) out of the house and into a car before it wears off
And now I kinda want to play a badly pirated copy of GTA 4, if that's what it does
William: oh oh this is an unpleasant experience
Tom: *OH NO OH I DONT LIKE THIS AT ALL*
For those who think Tom said "Where is the shifter" just because it was automatic, think again. Actually it's not due to the car being automatic (which it is), but having a column gear shifter...which many people do not have experience with. It looks about the same if it is automatic or manual. The shift lever is around where the window wiper column is, this is due to the car having a middle front seat and there not being room for a gear shifting lever (automatic or manual) on the floor. Not many modern cars have them anymore (but they are still common in trucks and work vans) I know this because my grandmother has that same car, but the sedan version. Also, my Toyota Tundra has the same.
This feels like a nature documentary was intertwined with a war movie and it keeps going back and forth

Barely saw Michael and I was already clicking like.
Robotics, questionable ethics, and proper science.
Must be Michael, Will, and Tom
“Well I’m sure who ever he’s working with will be safe...”
0:33: “OH GOD ITS REEVES”
I never expected this collaboration but I love every minute of it!!
A collab with three of my favorite "scientists" on CZcams. I love you guys, and this was AWESOME to watch.
I find it really interesting how there aren't many studies like this, particularly where time is the variable the experiment is trying to find. I think this kind of exploration teaches us a lot about how motion sickness works, even though it's not a "legitimate scientific experiment." I would have never guessed it's right above the .17 second time that humans start feeling motion sick. I thought it was something around a second or two, but I guess it makes sense that there is a blatant disconnect in the gray area, between knowing you're being lagged and not being lagged at all.
It's kind of similar to when I was attempting to play an instrument through my computer without using a Digital-Analog Converter (DAC), At different sampling rates you can increase and decrease the amount of delay and you typically want to aim for less than .11 seconds, .17 being the absolute limit where you can actually separate the two distinctly (i.e. the action of pressing a key and receiving a sound are seamless under .11, manageable at .17, and anything above that feels like a large delay).
Really, an experiment is the only way to test this kind of thing because you never know what it actually feels like until you do the real thing.
Great video!
"Really? AAAAAAAARGH!"

A Tom Scott x William Osman x Michael Reeves collaboration! Wow! That is just what I need to complete my Monday.
MICHAEL REEVES AND TOM SCOTT?! THIS IS THE MOST AMBITIOUS CROSSOVER IVE EVER SEEN
Video: with William Osborn and Michael Reeves
Me: there is a fine line between Tom Scott and dangerous
Me: tom scott has crossed the line
How does this video feature science from Tom Scott, builds by William Osman, comedy from Micheal "Crackhead TazerMan" Reeves and editing from Elliot Gough!
Forget endgame, This crossover is insane!
When I saw the title on William's video, before I saw this one, I thought the experiment was delaying the steering, brakes, and gas. It would be much harder to do, but could really throw people off. If you've ever stepped on the gas in neutral you know what I mean. Your body expects movement, there is none
Yes! I've loved your channel for years, and I'm so surprised, and ecstatic that you collaborated with Reeves and Osman! Love your content!
"Oh, no! No, I don't like this at all!"
- Tom Scott, 2019 (way too many times)
What an odd cross over, but thank you Tom, very cool
I know why I've got nauseous from motion sickness before. Eating a lot of chips, then going on the Star Wars ride at Disneyland Paris.
Also, I misread that name as Richard Osman I got very excited and confused.
Love all three of your channels. Thank you for this.
"...and that...."
"Is something you might not have known?"
"...that is not pleasant"
Michael Reeves and Tom Scott? *It's a dream come true*
The most ambitious crossover since infinity war
