Imagine trying to run across a battle royale map, you’d be fucked.

with tech like that – there wont be a single obese kid
every COD player would look like olimpic swimmer

The radius seems so small I can easily see myself stepping out of the circle and hitting the side of this thing hard.
Also, I do not want to sweat when I’m wearing a VR headset, it feels gross.

This would do wonders lowering my 4+ gaming hours to 1 tops

Is he basically slipping on the curved platform?

And then you try to do a roll or a slide and break the machine.

I’ve used the previous type units and almost went into business selling them. Glad I didn’t. It’s really not as fun as you think it would be or looks. The machine needs to be calibrated and never acts right. The running is you wearing pegs on your feet that you basically have to slide along the surface of the platform. It’s very awkward, but you can get used to it. This kind of gaming will be peak when they get the omnidirectional treadmills perfected like ready player one. VR is great for exercise, but I would go with the boxing apps or beat saber personally.

Got a Gen 1 katwalk. It’s stupid fun.
The biggest thing I hate though is that movement speed is based on the game, not your feet. So when you go to sprint in Skyrim, into the radius, Pavlov, etc: you move the same speed as moving a joystick.
I get why this is, but removes a huge amount of emersion when in a fight

If I had a rig like this it would definitely motivate me to exercise more

Whenever I see one of these I just imagine falling over forward and swinging backwards nuts first into the pole.

I walk/run on my treadmill 2-3 miles a day and have a VR I been thinking about getting something like this

That’d actually be great, gamers would become known as the ripped athletic people xD

I want this, exercise and fun all in one. Until I reach my five step maximum and have to stand there soaking up damage because I’m out of breath.

I’m not sure I’d want to sweat while wearing a VR headset, seems like a recipe for sweat staining and a headache.

Out of all the clothing that guy could have uswd he stopped at jeans. Enjoy your ball rashes.

I’d pay real money (if I had any) to play Fallout 4 in this thing. I want to cross the Commonwealth and kill Raiders with this device.
nesnalica
the thing is. its cool for the first time. and then you get lazy and do VR like everyone else by not moving.

Pair this tech with Skyrim VR.
Commit to never using fast travel.
