Locomotion tech works in tandem with Oculus Rift and Wii remote to immerse players in Liberty City
Austrian firm Cyberith has shown off its virtual reality tech the Virtualizer, enabling players to walk through the world of Grand Theft Auto IV.
The locomotion device, recently featured in our Develop 100 (http://www.develop-online.net/develop-100) profiling Europe's top game start-ups, works in tandem with VR tech such as the Oculus Rift and the Wii Remote and reflects the players real-world movement in-game.
This is achieved by integrated sensors for motion detection, which allows players to move, run, jump, crouch and strafe in-game.
