... an omnidirectional treadmill.  Looks more like a work out than relaxing gaming.  ::)




QuoteVirtuix has been working on a consumer level omnidirectional treadmill for virtual reality applications, and it has combined its device with the Oculus Rift, and Team Fortress 2.

The results are pretty exciting. You can check out video of the video game and technology match made in heaven below.

Virtuix has plans for a Kickstarter to help fund its treadmill, the Omni, soon. You can find out more about it here and here.
