Valve's new adventure specially designed for virtual reality offers a level of immersion never seen before and this video proves it.
Half-Life Alyx, the new episode of Valve's famous video game saga specially designed for virtual reality, offers one of the most advanced VR experiences on the market thanks to its level of immersion and the infinite possibilities that it allows at the level of interaction with virtual environments and elements. So much so, that a YouTube user known as ChrisQuitsReality has shared a witty video in which he himself juggles all kinds of objects on stage, even in the most difficult moments.
Tightrope walker in a virtual reality world
Thus, and for more than 3 minutes, we see the player himself performing all kinds of juggling, be it with cups, billiard balls, plates, grenades, bottles and even chairs, among many other objects, demonstrating the great work of Valve at the level of player interactivity with the video game itself.
And yes, just as it happens in real life, juggling this type requires a certain level of experience; And how could it be otherwise, the user acknowledges being a juggler in real life, so making these movements is not within the reach of anyone, not even in Valve's own title.
And is that such is the level of precision that Half-Life Alyx boasts, which the player himself claims has been trying on previous occasions in other virtual reality video games with disastrous results. Now, and thanks to Alyx, it is already possible to achieve a certain degree of virtual tightrope walking despite the fact that he acknowledges having trained enough in the game to do so.
“It took me over an hour to master each challenge, I know how to do everything in real life and I had to relearn all the tricks and adjust everything to work in virtual reality. The biggest problem was how to literally grab everything with your hands, with objects flying like crazy when throwing them, objects don't grip properly, things break when juggling. It was a nightmare ”, relates the player.
