i'm eric franklin and i'm here with the virtuix Omni it's a omnidirectional surface that uses a low-friction surface allows you to walk around in the game world while staying in place in the real world also uses the oculus rift for head tracking and the kinect sensor for added motion tracking you also have used these special shoes that have low friction soles on the bottom and if you want to go hands-free you'll need to employ the stabilizing belts a prototype right now and looks kind of intimidating I actually couldn't put it on I was a little too big a little too tall for it but if you're a smaller skinnier person then you'll definitely put this on using half-life 2 for the demo but it actually works with any pc game so I'm pretty excited to give it a try ok and lean forward lean into your step ahead put your weight on your word oh just run for free ok all right once I can hold on I'm pretty good feels like I'm walking on ice right now I'm even my head tonight sometimes I forget that I'm doing that oh I told that I was looking that way the Omni is still available on Kickstarter for 429 dollars that will end in July and then you can pre-order it for between four hundred ninety nine dollars and five hundred ninety-nine dollars those orders will start shipping in January of next year i'm eric franklin and this has been a first look at the virtuix Omni
