Tre Mac Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 https://zerolatencyvr.com/ I heard about this on the radio the other day. I was interested until I saw the price - $59.95/30min game time per person - up to 8 at once. It opens locally in a week but interested if anyone has tried this before? I'd be willing to try this once but man that's pricey. Quote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 So, a couple of years ago, at CES in Vegas, I got a chance to try out 5G VR with Intel. Was really impressive. I put on the headset, and I'm standing in the middle of the basketball court, the players are playing around me and through me. Look down, there's the court. Look up, there's the score clock. Full 360 degree rotation, follow the play right from the middle of the court. They also were demonstrating it with Nascar, where you're essentially sitting on the roof of the car as it flies around the track at over 200 mph, and you're turning and looking at the cars that you're passing or are trying to pass you. Was really incredible. 5G makes this possible. Imagine having PPV hockey where you put on a headset and you're suddenly 7 or 8 feet above the ice, watching the play with a 2 second delay (about what you experience right now with Shaw). Being able to turn and follow as they pass back and forth at the blueline and fully follow the play. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I have still never tried VR. I'm on fire recruit training with a younger guy who plays on some sort of team in a tactical/military style game that is 5 vs 5. They show up at the local VR place here to practice and play their matches. It sounds like a blast and I really think I need to take a crack at it.

I'd love to try a sports game - seems it's all shooters for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully immersive sports is coming, its about 2 years away. Need to get the install base on 5G up to where it should be, but 5G enables all kinds of possibilities such as fully autonomous cars. If you haven't experienced the speed yet, its in line with a high speed fiber optics connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure_Pavel Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I play a QB 2 minute drill game on VR that is really fun, boxing is pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the timing accurate? If you move too fast does it still pick it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being inside the Octagon for the next championship match. The stuff that's coming puts you so close, you can see the teeth fly, in high def.

Bure_Pavel Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Yeah it does really well, I try and avoid bullet passes as they sometimes go lower than you want due to the speed of the movement. But if you keep good form it is very accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Somehow I read it as, "Zero latency at YVR... coming in 2020," and though how amazing the world would be if we can get on the plane and go through customs with zero latency. But this sounds cool too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
