i think the big difference is the katwalk he used (the treadmill thing to help you walk like it's irl) still emulates thumbstick movement, so if you walk in a direction at least you're walking full speed in that direction. habie used his actual feet to move, which really emphasized the distance he walked, and you can see the difference between using his feet to walk and using the thumbstick, thumbstick is like 10x faster lmao

Yeah, but a lot of the problems Thrill had with his KatWalk was because he didn't lube up the platform. He was still new to using it, so he didn't know he had to do that until after he shot the video. I use a silicone spray on mine, but it comes with a little dropper bottle for this. There will still be friction when you walk, so it's going to be more of a workout than normal walking, but it won't feel nearly as bad. It also helps reduce the wear on the platform.

@ward0g415

@@RedZFlame Yes, but the KatWalk also tries to measure your paces so it knows how far to move the thumbstick for your speed, and how long to hold it there as you're walking. The KatWalk C Thrill used in that Skyrim video really only had an accelerometer for each foot, so it could tell how fast your feet were moving, but not really how far or in which direction. The 2nd gen KatWalk has optical sensors under the feet, like a mouse, so it can actually measure your stride. It's still not 100% perfect, but it's way better than the first gen.

its crazy how much further everything feels like when you actually have to physically walk from point A to B.

Fun fact: OVR Advanced Settings has a setting to automate the turning around. It reads in your wall locations from SteamVR and uses them to tell when you should turn. If you have a large enough play space, it can basically make it into a giant loop that you walk around in. I've never truly been able to use it well though because my play space is smol

As a European who cycles to school, and can then walk through the entire city, without having to share a road with cars, I get a bit annoyed/angry at car-centric planning. Look, I understand that intercity travel has to be by car, they are that far apart. But surely the cities can be greener, more bike and pedestrian friendly. It also helps if the local government stimulates no-car zones and/or emission-zones in city centres where certain emission-levels are banned. This results in less emissions overall, which leads to cleaner air, which leads to healthier citizens. Everybody wins, except the car, but does that really matter?

Watching Habie doing anything that requires a brain is like having a mid life crisis over a dry peanut butter sandwich.

Hey Habie, there is actually an option to help with this kinda stuff in the OVR advanced settings (a free application). Effectively how it works is if your playspace is large enough, It will try to rotate your game slowly without you noticing as you walk towards your bounds. So you end up walking in circles irl, but the game walks in a straight line. There are even some VRC worlds to show this in action.

We all thought he got a treadmill, but no, he did it the oldschool way

This literally why I love Fallout 3 so much. The vast amount of nothingness sets the apocalypse mood, and when you find a point of interest, even if there's not much there, it's an exciting time that makes you feels so damn immersed.

@@boomdaddymaxwell From my understanding, Bethesda in their infinite wisdom made such a hack job of the F4 VR conversion that most of the mods made for SKyrim VR just wouldn't even be possible in F4. Such as having a full-body was one of the first Skyrim VR mods, but there's something about F4 that means it can't be done.

Fun fact: This technique is called "infinite walking" and it's really hard to make look good with full body tracking!

“I was absolutely swimming in my smooth brain urges to walk through the woods with a gun” Habie is one step closer to just enlisting in the infantry. Or just walking through a national forest with a gun

I just ordered a waifu cup so someday Habie can afford a Kat Walk. This was a cool video, but pacing around your room and turning around each time you hit a wall must have been a pain, lol.

i do this in vrchat with full body tracking, but my trick is walking around in a circle and finding just the right rotation in the opposite direction to counteract the spinning, making it so you can perpetually walk forward. it always confuses people because it looks like you just have a massive playspace. its so funny

Nate can hold a mini gun with only two fingers. Nora was a very lucky woman. 😏

Ok now Skyrim

the is an infinite walking technique for vr which is basicly walk in a circle around your room clock wise while rotating your in game character counter clock wise so that your always moving straight forward

This is why I always play with Survival Difficulty when I play fallout 4. The satisfaction of returning to sanctuary after completing some quests feels much more rewarding without fast travelling everywhere.

i can already tell this is gonna be good

Quest 3 seems to work really well even in sunny times, you could find a big field and actually do that again if you can get a massive wifi connection

Though it’s got it’s quirks, it’s glitches and bugs, Fallout 4 is a pretty goofy vr experience.

Great video. Sometimes you just feel like a stroll through the Wasteland you know. I like how you threw that "content creator of the year" clip in there 😂

I heard the VRChat players walk in circles (if they don't have to worry about cables twisting) and counteracting the rotation with the camera stick. Apparently is becomes second nature in a while.

I´m using a kat vr c2 and its hella fun to walk on it all through skyrim and fallout highly recommended

I've seen people push slightly off center on their thumbstick while walking in a circle so that the two directions cancel each other and you get a straight line in game. So that way you could keep walking in circles forever without having to stop and turn around

This is such a good idea. Btw I think you can change the scale of the world in the Vr settings

I’ve always liked the vibes of his videos the music and everything is so chill

should have got one of those vr walking decks

im starting to think this way of locomotion is getting more popular and i think its iconic because i dont even use kat vr nor do i even play with my joystick to the point that every game i play i ONLY play walking

Now this is content

Bro's getting his steps in.

The amount of cardio I’d do if I could hook a treadmill to an oculus and move around fallout and Skyrim would be insane

The environment and atmosphere in this game in VR is second to none. I've got a fair few graphics mods so it looks pretty as hell, as well as true dark nights, and its hektik. Coming to the Red Rocket gas station for the first time in VR after only seeing it in flat years and years ago, was crazy!

If "all my homies hate old gullet sinkole" is a reference to a famous video, Habie just earned just another special place in my heart.

7:56 a play through like this would be just like landing on a planet in star field if you think about it

I played like this, and I want to finish some game the same way. when you want it yourself - the immersion in the game is phenomenally high

First VR related video I'm watching with interest since.. well since VR..

habie you make my day

Should get one of those really fancy treadmill setups? (Idk what you actually call it)

i used that trick in job sim back in the ol vr days to get to inaccessible areas

Greatest use of Cara mia addio combined with forrest gump i have ever seen. As always, great shit

This is honestly so cool

It's vexing that there aren't more games the make full use of roomscale. Understandable, because space is variable and it's genuinely difficult to design a full experience that fits inside your average VR play area, but walking around in a VR space is just another layer of immersion.

Bro is gonna lose his mind when he finds out about hiking

This reminds me of the dividing opinions on new vegas where some hate the long walk of the mojave but for me it really felt cool to put on the radio and wander toward whatever was on the horizon

This is most likely the future of exercise technology. First it'll be a bike with the headset, but headsets are getting smaller and higher res every year so eventually there'll be VR treadmills that just have the strip move at your pace instead of you having to follow the strips speed

no video has convinced me to get VR more than this one

I remember watching someone walk the entirety bonelab a couple days ago
