dollars it just looks so stupid it just
looks so stupid you're telling me you're
supposed to walk around in public
wearing thick they're like five grand
four grand dude imagine walking around
in public wearing these double wide ski
goggles not like a normal review of this
thing I can't recommend enough to go
watch to go watch Marquez brownley his
is fantastic this is a different like I
kind of have a different take on this
and different questions and that's what
this
is but Marquez is really
good what is this thing that I'm holding
literally I'm just waiting for somebody
get hit by a car wearing one of these
[ __ ] things you're watching a YouTube
video as you're walking through the
street you just get absolutely nailed
like you're telling dude you're going to
be distracted like there's no way
there's no way you're going to be able
to walk around in public wearing one of
these headsets just like aware of your
surroundings you're going to be so it's
like it'd be like texting and
[Music]
driving how do you find it I've had it
for like an also guarantee you within
the I'm making a prediction right now
within the next month we're going to see
a news article about these things
getting stolen off people's
heads just imagine bro you're walking up
behind somebody wearing one of these
clunky ass headsets you just [ __ ]
ripped that [ __ ] off their head and run
and now you just made
$3,000 yeah okay can you put Windows up
now if you want to yeah so like I can
put a yeah so I'm actually watching I'm
actually watching uh hent right behind
you could you actually could you
actually move out of the way hold on let
me
enlarge up now when I start walking they
like go away they fade
away enjoy it take care all right
to get a random pile of bricks watching
a Mr Beast
video what waiting for the subway oh my
God Chad just imagine imagine how
awkward it would be watching like a
comedy special you're just sitting
you're imagine you're sitting on the
subway dude I think I have ski goggles
you're sitting in the subway wearing
your [ __ ] headset watching a comedy
special around other
[Laughter]
people
you just start dying laughing no one
knows what you're listening to No you're
just sitting there it's like different
from watching a video on your phone
you're like you're like actively just in
your own world you're going to forget
that people are around you old toilet I
found the restroom and a bunch of random
wooden poles there's more
poles pile let's pile on that boat and
leave and as you can
see but later in this video we're going
to aund
and also oh my God and people are going
to think you're staring at
them chat I'm just saying man like
you're you're standing there watching a
[ __ ] video you're you're GNA have
people that are like oh you're looking
at me right because there's going to be
no way of knowing if they're staring in
your direction with those thick ass
goggles you can't even see their eyes
yeah but if I'm wearing a [ __ ] VR
headset and I'm and my my [ __ ] head
is positioning exactly where you are
super Island but first we're going head
[Music]
over God he looks like such a
dumbass
you're in
large [ __ ] accidentally punched
somebody in the
face strategy for interacting with
people they Gaslight you into thinking
so if you're moving a lot while you're I
don't know it's just it's different than
a phone cuz like this girl has head a
headset on and she's looking at her
phone but it's obvious she's in her own
world whereas this like dude casy
neistat's just [ __ ] staring like into
the [ __ ] Abyss you're moving a lot
while you're moving this thing comes up
that says tracking fail so it doesn't
track if you're moving lot so there's
nothing for the sensors to like lock on
to it doesn't know where to put stuff
but standing at a subway stop watching a
Mr Beast video is a pretty special it's
a pretty special oh because it uses
geolocation so it just does it not work
at all on like a plane or a
train or a car travel mode works yeah
it's probably just like a stationary
stuck to the headset thing though rather
than like in your own world cuz I know
there's I saw a video on Tik Tok of some
guy with it in his house and he has like
pinned like he has like a kitchen Tab
and then he walks over and he has like a
screen for like relaxing in his bed and
then he has like his toilet
YouTube he's like my toilet YouTube's
stuck experience hold on Jordan let me
try to figure out how to
I what do you think it's interesting I I
can't imagine I can't imagine why you're
looking at uh I'm looking at you right I
bet you can't imagine what I'm looking
[Laughter]
at I bet you really want to know what
I'm [ __ ] staring at right now huh
okay I can see you clear as dead you got
on a blue tie with a beautiful tie pin
at the top so I can see you I get off
here enjoy your adventure
bye-bye
enjoy your
adventure thank you
Squire look what the hell was
that uh I opened up Apple TV and it was
like this window right here Jordan and
as he started to move the window went
away with the back with the subway car
you can't use Windows if you're in like
a if there's a lot of like kinetic
movement it I imagine it works in an
airplane cuz the airplane is so steady
but this is a Subway and it's bouncing
oh yeah if it like travel mode makes
more sense if it's like a steady thing
but if you're constantly
rocking yeah get get this man an get
give this man the [ __ ] Apple
headset what do you think he's listening
to chat I'd love to pull him over for
one of those Tik toks what you listening
to right now man he says oh fiend by
Travis
[Music]
Scott hey this tether to my
iPhone it seems to be working well
enough but for some reason when I try to
open Safari it won't
[Music]
open it do look so dumb from out like if
it's you it makes sense cuz like you see
it but no one else around you knows what
you're looking at so you just look like
a dude that's like [ __ ] tripping on
drugs [ __ ] staring oh my God he can't
he can't like text like oh my God he's
[ __ ] PEC
typing there oh wow this is
revolutionary
technology I was just responding to text
messages
[Music]
no way you're the only person I wanted
to be in case wait INE he I can't tell
can you not tell no
way like we oh my God no way I'm
actually the idea that I could have my
oh my God no way he says oh yeah man
let's take a selfie real quick just
[ __ ] Chucks his phone in the middle
of [ __ ] Time Square just Absolut Ely
rocket arms that [ __ ] into the [ __ ]
into the [ __ ] Sky yeah sure man yeah
let's take a pick real quick don't
interrupt my [ __ ] video ass hat whole
like computer digital online world that
exists in the real world that's
what that's what feels like is bigger
than AR or VR like I have the Oculus
it's great but this definitely feels
like a toy this feels like a little
glimpse into the future of what
Computing could be
like down the road why is everybody
staring at
me do I look as ridiculous as those
people make me feel like I look no
you're just your eyes are glowing how
you
doing Jordan you're standing right in
front of my Mr Beast video come right
there okay years ago this used to be a
bar oh my God bro I just feel like this
could be some [ __ ] bro he's like how
Hey Hey sir how are you
doing
just making some weird assing right in
front of my Mr Beast video come right
there okay years ago this used to be a
bar y yeah you want to walk under
this so the idea of spatial computing
dude it just looks so bad it doesn't
make sense to me when I'm sitting in my
office I've got multiple streams but
right now I'm like in the city I'm in
the middle of Time Square I've got my
virtual keyboard here I've got Apple TV
there I got YouTube safaris open here
and it all kind of
works like this where I've got going on
right now this is wild it's impossible
for me to imagine that you can't see
what I can see everything seems so real
can he hear it like how does is there
audio real and then I can just stand
up how does he hear
it bro that's kind of annoying I got to
point that out bro that [ __ ] bro this
[ __ ]
[ __ ] [ __ ]
bro
just say something bro just ask for a
[ __ ] picture or some [ __ ] you're just
recording
[Music]
him he done
it thank
[Music]
you
why is there a
[Music]
butterfly the butterfly is eating my
donut imagine if he didn't have the
headset on now like You' you'd
immediately be like this guy's on
assd
dinosaur charges him he goes runs into
the [ __ ] counter shatters it just
absolutely obliterates this Dairy Queen
it's after
[Music]
me okay that's actually
[Music]
sick he can't even see the guy in front
of him
the guy's like oh oh oh do you want me
to take the
donut the concept for this video was to
run around New York City wearing oh I
said Dairy Queen I meant uh what's it
called Crispy Cream I think it was funny
but something happened something
happened today that was completely
unexpected and that something I don't
think anyone else has really touched on
none of the reviews I've seen or read
none none of them really put to words
what I experienced so when you take
these off they kind of go to sleep like
your phone and when you put them back
the charge on one of these things was
that was that wire like a [ __ ]
battery pack there's no way it's that
long of a charge doing that I just left
these on the entire day um the like two
and a half hour battery pack you can
plug into a fatter battery so I never
ran out of battery power and after a
couple of hours of running around the
streets of New York as in not in a
controlled environment
my brain sort of clicked and it just
forgot that I was looking through
cameras and screens and it just it it
took what it saw as reality and that is
where this this that's where the that
profound moment came from and what
occurred to me as I was sitting there
you think that's bad for your eyes or
your brain or some [ __ ] like wearing
this thing for like 12 hours a day Time
Square on a bench strangers all around
me the real world moving all around me
but I had like a I know it's the real
world and yeah it's through a screen but
like I'm trying to think like when I do
VR streams and I wear a VR headset for
like three hours I that [ __ ] makes my
brain [ __ ] foggy like I feel weird
for like [ __ ] two hours after that
because I'm wearing a [ __ ] VR headset
for like four hours straight big screen
up where I was watching a Mr Beast video
and then over here I had this keyboard
that I could interact with and over here
I had my iMessages and over here I had
my Apple TV and then all my it's like VR
I don't know if it's like VR though
because VR you're seeing something
that's not there whereas this you're
actually still seeing the real world but
it's through a screen and they're
floating in Time Square in the middle of
New York City they're floating there and
I'm actually there and there's actual
humans around me and in that
moment I was like holy [ __ ] this is it
this is the future of computing that
everyone's been promising for like the
last 15 years this is something that
like let me like truly Peak into where
we're where all of this is going this
isn't the like the future of AR or VR
this is the I think this is the future
interface for all Computing I think when
they figure out how to make these not
dude I just want video games with that
[ __ ] bro [ __ ] the corded VR headset and
[ __ ] like that bro I know I have them I
know I have the valve headset and it's
fun but like dude I want to VR where
it's like you put that [ __ ] in and you
like have a space that's like [ __ ] 100
feet by 100 feet and you join online
lobbies and like see other players there
dude that would be so sick these heavy
$4,000 metal ski goggles but you know
maybe they look like these glasses or
something even smaller that that is what
it'll be in the morning you won't
remember your phone you put it on and
then that's it it's like hold on I've
got a call yeah I think when it gets to
the point where it's like base
sunglasses is what but I don't know
would you be able to [ __ ] put would
they be able to shrink computer
technology to the size of [ __ ]
sunglasses I feel like that's too I
don't think that's possible bro what's
up Mom I'll call you back you look great
by the way and that's what it's going to
look like and these show you that these
reveal that I like as a yeah probably
like [ __ ] 50 years from now geek that
was the thing I've been looking for
forever and they did it right here on a
product that has like a product that is
so new this has been out for 12 hours
and I felt it
so I don't know that I recommend you
should buy one of these at
$4,000 because I can promise you this
this will be the worst Vision Pro Apple
ever ships it is going to get ah but how
often are they going to make these
they're not going to be cranking out new
ones every year it's so much better all
right and maybe I'll make four grand
what the [ __ ] I mean dude that's kind of
not that crazy I I know $4,000 is a lot
of money but dude my valve headset was a
th000 and that's stuck to my computer
and I can't move more than [ __ ] 20
feet by 20 feet like VR VR headsets are
[ __ ] expensive now you're going AR
it's also an Apple
product uh so they're up pricing the
[ __ ] out of it uh it probably cost them
like a thousand to make um riser for the
sub maybe even less than that uh I don't
know I'm looking forward to see where
that chick goes though but that was a
good ass video all
[Music]
