I certainly want one of this.
Virtuix Omni is an omnidirectional treadmill video game peripheral for virtual reality games and other applications currently in development by Virtuix. It uses a platform to simulate the motion of walking, requiring special shoes that reduce friction. It works in conjunction with the Oculus Rift or any other head mounted display and allows gamers to walk or run within the game they are playing.
In 2013, the Virtuix Omni became one of the ten biggest technology Kickstarter campaigns, raising $1.1 million in funding. Since then, Virtuix has raised another $8 million from private and institutional investors.
The Virtuix Omni acts as a standard game controller and is designed to work with any PC game. Virtuix is also developing TRAVR, a first-person shooter game as well as three additional games designed specifically for the Omni.The Virtuix Omni has been reviewed in publications for games such as Granmni can be used for virtual reality applications including training and simulation, fitness, healthcare, architecture, virtual tourism, meet-ups and events. Virtuix is a sponsor of Hands Omni, a wireless glove that allows users to "feel" an object they are grabbing in virtual reality. The glove is in development as of 2015 and is being developed to be used as a peripheral for the Omni.
