- Just turned it on with my eyeball.
Woohoo!
Been almost 18 years
since I've gone skiing,
and there's only two things
that would get me to go skiing.
First, virtual reality, or
augmented reality, goggles.
Check it out,
camera on this thing, sensors.
(electronic music)
The second thing is,
my buddy, Shonduras.
- What's up?
We're gonna see if Dan can shred.
What?
There's like a little thing inside.
I feel like a robot, dude.
- Video game style real life skiing?
Had to give it a try.
- It's actually really cool.
I dig it.
Plus ten to jumps, plus four to speed.
- We need to try these goggles out,
see how they actually work on the slopes,
see what they're like
before we cut 'em open,
and I'm not gonna try
them on in my backyard,
and give it a go,
so we're up here at a place
called Powder Mountain.
It's like one of the secret, top resorts
here in Utah that people don't know about.
- It's the best resort in Utah!
Don't tell people about it.
(electronic music)
You alive?
- Nah, that was a much
bigger hill than I thought.
I could sit here all day and watch that.
This is fun.
Goggles are fun.
Now I gotta find my way outta here.
Shaun kind of abandoned me.
Not a bad place to be abandoned though.
That's how you wrap up a day of skiing.
Get some pizza.
- If it's too big,
you fold it like this.
- Sandwich.
Overall thoughts from me and from Shaun.
- I don't know yet,
because we don't know
if the footage is there.
- Yeah.
- If the footage is inside the goggles,
I'm gonna give it like
an eight out of ten.
If there's no footage in those goggles,
I'm gonna be super mad and
give it a two out of ten.
It was cool to be able to just look up
and blink like this,
and it starts recording.
That was really cool.
How do I do this?
Where am I?
- We're gonna go try to
download the footage.
- I really hope it's there.
- I hope so, too.
- But even if it's not,
it still gets a two out of ten,
because it protected my eyes,
so they still work as goggles.
- There's that.
You saw a little bit on there
about the adventure,
us snowboarding and skiing,
but you gotta go to Shaun's channel
to watch the entire adventure.
Some of the ridiculous stuff that he did.
- It's mandatory.
- This is weird.
- I'm looking through
the footage that we have.
The reviews I did on the
hill were not the great
because the audio was so poorly done.
(wind drowns out speaker)
- There's no way you would use that.
If you wanted to just have video and audio
while you're skiing or snowboarding,
I would suggest getting a GoPro
and putting it on your helmet.
We could no get the GPS to work
because the maps thought
that we were in France,
and you can't change it on the App.
It's stuck.
Every time you click on it,
it won't even let you type,
and it just clicks
right out of the screen.
There's nothing you can do.
There's a simulator mode
that looks pretty cool
at one point, Shonduras,
we put it on his head,
he thought it was Powder Mountain,
and he looked around, and he
though it was pretty cool,
but it turned out, he was just in France.
- What the heck?
- [Daniel] Virtual reality.
There's the ski resort.
It's a different one though.
- That's crazy.
This isn't at Powder Mountain.
We're in France right now.
- Yeah, I think that's France.
The rest of the features,
we were not able to
take advantage of them.
They look cool on ya.
Good at going to school
and not coming with us.
♫ Everybody hurts
Watch this, I turn it on.
- Woah, I see a screen.
Woah, right on.
- Right on, right on man.
That's what I think of whenever
I think of their name.
Let's take apart the camera,
the power thing,
let's see that this side is, right here.
Let's cut down the middle of the glasses
just because, why not.
So we've got this dremel right here.
We have this big saw right here.
- So, let's just put it right here.
Get to cutting.
- [Daniel] Right like that?
- Yeah.
♫ You know you've been a good friend
♫ Been there through the thick and thin
♫ And it know its never gonna end
That looked easy for you to cut it.
- That was great!
Nice clean cut.
It got just to the end where
it was just about to hit,
and I'd have to flip it around.
- Some wires right there, that I see.
And then, there's two layers of glass.
- All right, check it out.
Two layers of glass inside of that thing.
Lincoln, see if you can pull those layers
of glass nicely apart.
- [Lincoln] Ah, it's tight in there.
- [Daniel] Huh.
- [Lincoln] Woah.
- [Daniel] Does the whole thing just.
Okay, has this regular
glass part on the back,
and then this shiny,
reflective, sunglass style
on the outside.
So, we're able to see what's
inside of ski goggles.
Check that off the list,
You can see some wires.
Of course, you would
know that it would talk
to each other going from side to side.
But now, let's cut open
these two boxes, right here.
- [Lincoln] I think
those are the batteries.
- I'm thinking this side is
probably the brains of it,
so, let's cut into this part first,
and see if it's the brains or the battery.
Whatever that is right there.
Oh, I'm glad I didn't get into that.
It's the battery.
Look how close I was to cutting into it.
Here's the VR part.
Somewhere in here there's an image
that somehow shoots onto there,
and it shows you everything.
Here's the outside with the video camera.
The charger is right here on the bottom.
You push this button right here,
and that's what actually gets it going.
That's how you charge it
and transfer the files, too.
You just connect the same
cord right into there.
Agh, there we go, headband off.
Okay.
Let's break off that thing, too.
It's kind of in the way.
Yeah, okay.
There goes the goggles part.
There's the VR part.
Looks like there's a spot right there
to flip it off, yep.
There we go.
Here it is, I took off that panel.
Here is the part that's
kinda like Google Glass
with the little thing that comes out.
Ah, I broke it.
Okay, so there's a little mirror.
I just need to hit this part right here.
Just a light, slight little hit.
Or a big one.
Don't do that camera.
Heres what it looks like before,
you take off the camera part,
and you can see where the actual camera,
would be right there.
Oh, check this out.
Check it out, there's
some glass right there.
That's where the image comes out of.
If you think about it, it makes sense
why this thing is rounded right there
where this glass is,
because when you're wearing the goggles,
it's just like VR,
where you go like this and look around,
and the image stays stationary
where you're looking,
but it knows where you're looking,
and so it keeps everything the same, so.
It's like a cube,
and on both sides it has a
rounded piece of glass on it.
It's like mini VR in your snow goggles.
- Scary.
- [Daniel] Why's it scary?
- Lithium-Ion.
- Lithium-Ion batteries are not scary.
I feel like after the news
on lithium-ion batteries,
with segways and certain cell phones,
I feel like there needs to be a PSA,
public service announcement,
that batteries are not bad.
In general, think of how
many lithium-ion batteries
we have in all different
kinds of electronics,
and how small of a number
of them actually blow-up
or explode or catch on fire.
- So they're scary.
- They're not that dangerous.
They're not scary.
- There's still a percentage
that they blow-up.
- Don't be afraid.
- There still is.
It's a bunch of layers of glass.
- [Daniel] Yeah, like rounded glass
on both sides, too.
There you are.
- There I am.
- [Daniel] There's my little buddy.
You're in my fingers right now.
I can squish your head.
Squish!
Oh great.
- Then my head grew.
- Overall, I think this
is really cool idea.
I don't know if the
technology's quite there.
Super interesting to see what's inside,
and I hope there are more things like this
on motorcycles,
on, I don't know,
increase the technology within skiers,
and get it better
through the beta testing.
If you see interesting technology,
send us an e-mail, and let us know.
Hit us up, because we love playing
with these things.
Shonduras got me to go
snowboarding for the first time
in almost 20 years.
- Skiing, you went skiing.
He was snowboarding.
- I went skiing, he went snowboarding.
It was a blast.
You have to watch the
video on his channel,
and on his channel and on our channel
in the links, in the
comments, in the description,
what are we giving away, Lincoln?
- We're giving away some snowboards.
- Not just any snowboards.
These are Shonduras's snowboards
that he had in his garage,
that he signed, that we signed.
We'll put some stickers in there.
Go check out the comments
and link description.
