The Virtuix Omni managed to attract over a million dollars in funding when its Kickstarter campaign ended in July last year, significantly outperforming its $150,000 goal.
Creators Virtuix claim the Omni will be "ready to play, out of the box, with any game or app that uses keyboard input."
The unit costs US$499 excluding shipping.
