Virtuix Omni is an omnidirectional treadmill video game peripheral for virtual reality games and other applications currently in development by Virtuix.[1] It uses a platform to simulate the motion of walking, requiring special shoes that reduce friction. It works in conjunction with the Oculus Rift or any other head mounted display and allows gamers to walk or run within the game they are playing.[2]
In 2013, the Virtuix Omni became one of the ten biggest technology Kickstarter campaigns, raising $1.1 million in funding.[3] Since then, Virtuix has raised another $8 million from private and institutional investors including billionaire investor Mark Cuban
