♪ (ragtime music) ♪ - (Finebros) So today
you are not reacting to a video. - Okay, I can deal with that. - What am I gonna do then? - (Finebros) Instead,
you're gonna be reacting to this. - Oh. - Oh my goodness! Oh, wait. - It's like a goggle? - Whoa, this is some type
of virtual reality stuff, isn't it? - That is not what I did before. - This is like the what-you-call-it,
the Oculus Rift? - (Finebros) So this is called the HTC Vive and it's a new virtual reality device.
- Cool. I love it. I want to see this. - (Finebros) And some say it takes
virtual reality to the next level. - I'm excited. - (childishly) Can I put it on?
Can I put it on? - (Finebros) All right, are you ready
to stand up and give it a shot? - Stand up? Well, that's
a tough shot right there! - I am old, so you're not gonna scare
the hell outta me, are you? - This is gonna be strange
and different, but hey-- no guts, no glory. - (Finebros) So we're gonna set you up
and explain how to use it and just throw you in.
Are you ready? - I guess so. (laughing)
This should be different. What do I do? - I guess I need to take my hair down. - (Finebros) How does it feel
to be in the virtual reality world? - It's, uh... am I still in this room? - I feel a little off-balance. - Wow, that looks like the universe. - Even this thing's 3D!
These are 3D. Woo-hoo-hoo! - You can go all the way
around in this puppy? You can! Oh my goodness! - That is absolutely staggering. - (Finebros) So the first game
you're gonna be playing is called Tilt Brush,
which lets you paint in a 3D space. - Oh, wow! - I love to paint. - I'm not a painter,
but we'll give it a shot. - (Finebros) Using the controller
in your right hand, you can control the paint brush
and draw whatever you want. - Hold it up like that? ♪ (chime) ♪ - (intrigued) Oh. - Right now, I am doing a head. - I am drawing a heart with an arrow in it. - I used to be a school psychologist. If I had to grade this, IQ zero. - I'm doin' my name. Pssssh! Oh-ho-ho! - This is so cool. I love it. - It's like I could touch it. It's not flat. It's three dimensional. - (Finebros) Something really cool
is once you're done painting, you can fully walk around it
and see it from all different angles. - You're kidding. - Awesome! (laughing) - This is a lot of fun. It's not just for kids.
It's for anyone. - I'm inside the painting. I'm on the other side of the painting. - Holy crap! The things
they could do with this. - I absolutely know I'm gonna
dream about this tonight. - (Finebros) Okay, time
to move on to the next game. - Okay. - This has to be the gift of the year. - (Finebros) Welcome to Robot Repair! - A whole new world here. - Unbelievable!
Security camera, hi! - (Finebros) So go over to that garage
and pull on the red lever. - To the doors? - But there is no lever-- (chuckling) I can't pull something
that's not even there! (robotic whirring noise)
- There it goes. ♪ (gentle music) ♪ - Ah, there's a weird robot! (electricity crackles) - Oh shit! - (squealing anxiously) How do you stop it?! - It doesn't look safe.
I might have to zap him. - Get out of my way! - Oh, disabled.
Is he disabled? - This is going so high-tech. Boy, can you think of the brains
that went into putting this together? - My brain is saying
if you reach out with your hand and touch this, you will
touch a cold, white metal. (in awe) It's unbelievable. (robot winds down) - (Finebros) If you grab
the yellow circle, you can spin it. - Oh, okay. (alarm blares)
(recording) Stop. 15 seconds. - How do I-- just do this? - I see a bunch of little gadgets. (parts clatter)
(spring boings) - Holy shit! - Whoop! What did I do? - Oh my god! Everything fell apart.
I ruined everything. Ah-hah! Ah, the floor is falling! - Whoa! Whoa! - Look at the distance down there. - That's very deep.
Can I fall in there? No. It's not real. (laughing) (electricity crackles)
- Uh-oh! (whimpering) Oh! I'm so sorry. - (AI) What kind of robot
can't handle the simplest... - Okay, now with this guy,
he's pointing at me. - Oh! Here's another one.
- (AI) Oh, it's you. - It's me. - Oh my god!! - What do you want up there? - (AI) Congratulations on your
quota-filling promotion, by the way. You've opened all our eyes
to what humans can achieve when you put...
- Well, it's only my first time here. - My hands are absolutely sweating. Oh my god! - (Finebros) You can turn around.
The game is done. - Oh! - (Finebros) What did you think? - I-I don't even know what to say
'cause this is just so cool. - It's really fun. It's very expansive to
a very limited mind. (laughing) - I really had a fear that they were gonna
take the floor from underneath me. I almost fell into
the thinking it was reality. - (Finebros) For your final experience,
you'll be playing the shooter game, The Brookhaven Experiment,
where your controller is a gun and you'll need to fight off zombies.
- Zombies?! - (laughing) Right up my alley. - Cool, I like this. This is like a Saturday night special. - Come on! Come to the Rocky. I got somethin' for ya! - Oh, this is like Five Nights at Freddy's. - Where are the zombies? - Ooh, look at that! Oh god, there's a--
it's like a... is it called a sarcopha-- aaaaaaah! Here comes something. Ah! (gun shot) (gun shots) (whimpering)
(gun shots) - (laughing) Oh shit. - Oh dear god,
they're coming everywhere. - You! You! You!
In your head! Ah! Bite that. (gun shot)
- Ahhh! Goddamn it. No, okay, I can't do it anymore. (gun shot)
(player groans) (gun shot)
- Get off. - Oh. Oy. (gun shot)
(zombies moan) (gun shots) - Well, I'm doing great. - You're trying to reach
in here for me, you ass hole! - Oh, there's a lot of them! (gun shot) (laughing) I died. (gun shots)
- How's that? I blew your stinking head off! (zombie moans)
- Ah ha ha ha! In your--
(bullet chamber clicks) Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Take that! I'll shove this down your throat! (zombie yelps)
(laughing) I think I'm out of ammo. (blasting gun)
- (laughing) Shit! (laughing)
(gun blasts) (breathlessly) Oh shi--- (laughing). Wait a minute. It's not done? (laughing) (laughing) This is very intense. I don't even know what direction I'm in. - (Finebros) Okay, let's take it off. (sighs) - Wow! - As a senior, our balance does change. I felt a little unsteady. - The first video game
I remember is Pong, you know, and you were very much
separate from the game, and this is you...
there's no separation. - (Finebros) So what are
your final thoughts after experiencing the HTC Vive?
- I thought it was really cool. - It literally took my breath away. - It's like you're there.
You're there! It's un[bleep] real! - My stomach is a little unsettled from it. - My heart, it's just pounding right now. I'm breathing hard! - It simulates reality
to where it fools your senses. - I grew up in South America,
didn't see TV til I was 18. So even that was exciting. And this, you know,
TV was a flat thing in front of you in grey and white, right? And now you have this amazing world
that you'd walk into. - To watch technology
grow from the '70s on and things get smaller
and things get clearer, it's like a fantasy come true. - Thanks for watching
