Virtuix Omni is a Step Toward True Virtual Reality Gaming

[wraggster]

The Virtuix Omni (http://www.virtuix.com/) "is an omnidirectional treadmill video game peripheral for virtual reality games currently in development by Virtuix," says Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuix_Omni). With this device and an Oculus Rift (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oculus_Rift), Razer Hydra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razer_Hydra) or a similar "immersive" headset, you can play games equipped to use these devices with your whole body moving in any direction you choose. If you think you saw this product on the Shark Tank TV show (http://kotaku.com/reality-show-investors-rip-oculus-accessory-but-they-h-1479625996) or a pitch for it at Kickstarter.com (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1944625487/omni-move-naturally-in-your-favorite-game), you're right. You did. The Virtuix Omni people have been pushing their product hard, everywhere they can. Tim ran into their product manager, Colton Jacobs, at the recent AppsWorld conference in London. This video is Tim's record of their conversation.
