VRFocus - Cyberith’s Virtualizer, a full body motion tracking platform, is preparing to head out on a brief tour this month, the company has announced. The kit, which places users on a platform and then tracks everything from steps to crouching, will be appearing at the MIPIM in France and the International Conference on Presence (ISPR) in Austria this month. The tour will take place while work on a third iteration of the Virtualizer is continued in the run up to a crowdfunding campaign.
VRFocus- In August 2014 Cyberith ran a hugely successful Kickstarer crowd-funding campaign for the Virtualizer, a locomotion device to be used with virtual reality (VR) experiences. The company ended up raising some $361,452 USD towards the production of the kit, which sees users stand on a platform, strap on a harness and then run around in VR environments as if they were really there. The first shipments of the device were expected to go out to campaign backers in March 2015, however Cyberith has recently announced a delay to its schedule.
VRFocus - It’s been an exciting year for the team at Cyberith, which has seen its hard work pushing its Virtualizer omni-directional treadmill payoff with a very successful Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign in which it raised from $361,452 USD with the help of 577 backers. 2015 will no doubt be even bigger with the company looking to roll out the Virtualizer to its campaign backers and more. But that’s not all the team has planned; it’s also developing its very own virtual reality (VR) videogame for use with the platform.
VRFocus - The team at Cyberith has been working hard on its Virtualizer omni-directional treadmill for virtual reality (VR) experiences since raising over $350,000 USD on Kickstarter earlier this year. The company has been keeping fans in the loop with newsletters about the device's progress since then, and has today confirmed an intriguing piece of information that will bring the kit to other VR head-mounted displays (HMD) alongside the Oculus Rift.
I have the note 4 so if this is any good it might be a help to get in shape. I'm into the kinect 360 and that has burned some calories in the past for me.
The future is going to be interesting….
