Mix one part Guitar Hero with a dash of any Star Wars game that lets youwield a lightsaberand you ’ve got Beatsaber : aVR experiencethat has players fending off an barrage of colored blocks like Anakin at theJediAcademy . The game has been one of the most compelling intellect to buy anOculus Questheadset , butAdam Savagedecided the system ’s controllers were in desperate want of a Luke Skywalker upgrade with his latest one - day build .
Wanting to further heighten the Beatsaber experience , Savage grease one’s palms a duad of lightsaber - pep up extensions for the Oculus Quest ’s wireless controller on eBay , but since they were three-D printed from lightweight charge plate they lacked the hearty heft of the metal lightsabers wielded by the Jedi and Sith . give Savage actually worked on the Star Wars prequels before his MythBusters days , there are few as dependant as him to turn the Quest ’s accountant into a pair of lightsabers .
Giving deferred payment where credit is due , the comptroller extensions Savage bought online incorporate a ingenious mechanism for attaching to the rounded , bulbous handles on the Quest ’s controllers . So instead of reinventing the wheel , Savage contrive his own custom aluminum lightsaber deal to augment the 3D printed charge plate ones , which almost certainly helped ensure this physical body only spanned a single day .

The results look like something right out of Lucasfilm ’s prop shop , not surprisingly . And while Savage could probably make a small fortune sell his macrocosm to other Beatsaber fiend , the risk of accidentally bashing a limb , a wall , or someone who catch too close with the now hefty control means the only way you’re able to realistically get a brace for yourself is to get started on your own one - twenty-four hours flesh .
