@@avgjoegaming8271 $100/pair would be actually pretty cheap compared to the projected prices of the corpo-made ones. He'd make a double profit on parts and labor and we'd get some awesome finger trackers.

Well said

it's not just his mind, you also need a good support system. This guy is living at home and studying... I had a full scholarship for electronic engineering but I never had a stable home like this... When I told my parents about my plans to create a full body suit that works as an instrument they laughed at me... everything I suggested I wanted to do with my life they laughed. My real father was murdered when I was 2 so you can't expect real support from a step father. I used to make stuff like this at uni and then when I started making games at home my jealous stepbrother kicked me out of home with a handgun. I was literally making motion tracking videos with 3D characters superimposed over real video like default cube does these days, that was 6 years ago, but I lost all my work because I got kicked out of home and had to start from scratch.

@@TommyLikeTom Dude...I felt that. You okay? What you said is 100% true. You as well as many other children have the potential to create yet we are not often blessed with the environment to help us grow. The thIng you said about your parents laughing at you...bruh that brought a wave of memories for me. I also got kicked out and now my parents are like "why don't you ever share any of your passions with us?" Like the fuck I TRIED! YOU WERE JUST TO BUSY WATCHING TV AND PRAYING! Then your brother and the handgun incident: you would think your family would be happy that you are capable of things yet that doesn't seem to be the case. Hopefully you are in a better place where you can do as you please and if not I really hope you get there. Best of luck bro!

@@TommyLikeTom I would highly recommend notebooks and suitcases. A good backpack too. If you have a friend's house or a nearby makerspace those are also excellent options. This experience has taught you a very valuable lesson that most people simply do not understand: genius is not born - it's made, in a house, with a supportive family, by schooling or an education system of another kind, even if that's autodidactic learning. Especially if it's autodidactic learning. But don't despair, the ways you've found around the particular problems you've faced make you unique. Your particular skill set and the way you approach problems won't be like those of so many people for whom everything went the right way. You learn more off the path, even if it takes longer, and find things others haven't found. You seem pretty uniquely ingenious to me. Maybe take up sketching or writing as a hobby (if you haven't already). They're good for practically everything. Remember, necessity and just screwing around are the mother and insane illegitimate father of invention. You'll need both.

@@TommyLikeTom wow I feel you dude. Don't let them get to you. Just do what you want.

its cool but its not really worth it.

@@crownless5130 yea... but how many vr gloves have you made from scratch?

@@yaseenayoub4561I havn't made one because i know it's not worth the effort... i'm impressed to which is why i said "cool" but again, "it's not really worth it". I love that he's trying to push the boundaries of technology and do new things so that we can have a more enjoyable and immersive experience as consumers, but unfortunately with the technology we already have today i would say what he's making is inferior to what what is already out. Unless he decides to sell it and make it very consumer friendly and inexpensive. tell me, how are YOU going to map the keybinds in SteamVR if he decides to finalize his gloves. seroiusly, tell me. i want to know. How are you going to move forward? jump? walk backwards? shoot a trigger whilst knowing where the trigger actuates so you dont accidently alert NPC's in game? theres so many flaws you don't see.

@@crownless5130 well duh, but new versions and experimentation result in more efficient ways of carrying out a task. we only have boeings because of the wright brothers and their countless failed prototypes. everything in life takes trial and error, if he starts out with one of the bigger problems, eventually over time more people will add to that original idea.

@@yaseenayoub4561 its actually less efficient, you're only making my point better. I literally just stated that if the glove was finalized you still wouldn't be able to do the same things and more than how much a controller would. Valve controller is literally a glove AND a controller at the same time. it's not a matter of trial and error. that's why valve decided to make controllers and not gloves. Am i making sense to you or do not really understand? i'm trying my best but i feel like you aren't getting my point.

@@rich2.088 usually when you buy VR headsets or something that uses VR or AR, they come with electronic tax, hence the really high price of buying that VR or AR item.

I mean, I agree he is genuine, but selling them would help the vr community way more. Practically speaking, people aren't going to design games for this hardware if people have to make it themselves, and most people arent going to make it themselves full stop. He isn't selling them now because he just isn't in a position to, but selling them would definitely be a good thing.

He also said in the video that he's actually not in a position to form a company and start selling them because he's a student right now. I think if he could he would sell it as thats what would get them in the most hands possible while also being viable for game dev support.

@@robonator2945 I don't think games would have to be designed around the gloves but rather the gloves use drivers to work in games, the finger tracking works like the valve index's controllers ingame

@@SoupsSB well thats wrong. If a VR game right now had haptic feedback systems it would be a complete waste of effort since no-one owns a haptic glove, but if a cheap haptic glove was released not only would it make mainstream VR more immersive (the main bloody thing VR actually has going for it) but it would also mean companies could reasonably design for haptic feedback. Not to mention, not every game uses those drivers to begin with specifically because it isn't needed since most VR tech uses controllers right now.

@@SoupsSB I understood it fine but its assuming that every game already uses future proofed drivers and that those drivers account for haptic feedback which, from what I have seen, they don't, nor do they have any reason to since, as stated in the video, no-one bloody owns haptic gloves. So not only are you assuming every game uses a specific set of drivers, which they dont, but you are also assuming those drivers even have the functionality to utilize haptic feedback, which I do not believe they do, AND you are assuming that even if the drivers DID have that capability the games programmed their objects with good haptic feedback, which I know for a fact, they wouldn't have. You're ALSO ignoring the fact that game design is more important than drivers used, and as of yet virtually every VR game there is use controller based design philosophies specifically because, say it with me now, no-one owns bloody haptic gloves.

That's great and all, but you need innovation to eventually incorporate. Think about what this guy could do if you multiplied him by 1000. Boom, you now have Valve or Intel. Of course, everyone working there -- to provide you with awesome new tech (like the processors in your phone and computer, or the newest VR headset) -- needs to feed their family. That means the corporation must now ask for money. Why go for profit instead of break-even? Because then, in the future, they have more resources to build you, the average consumer, even better products. Charity doesn't make the world go round :/

Dewit

He's put the designs in the public domain, so a company won't be able to patent them. And if a company is able to mass-produce these and sell them to people who couldn't otherwise make them, is that really a bad thing? He said he's unlikely to be able to.

Bruh, is an open source project

You don't have to go to MIT to pull off something like that. I had pretty bad grades in school and just recently, before I started studying, I designed and built myself an audio DSP for my surround system without any previous knowledge.
