   The Virtuix Omni is an omnidirectional treadmill simulator for virtual reality games and other applications. It uses a platform to simulate locomotion i.e. the motion of walking, requiring both special shoes or shoe covers and a surface that reduces friction. It works in conjunction with the HTC Vive, and allows a vive user to walk within a limited number of games.In 2013, the Virtuix Omni became one of the ten biggest technology Kickstarter campaigns, raising $1.1 million in funding. Since then, Virtuix has raised another $35 million from private and institutional investors.Although originally slated to be released in January 2014, production of the Omni only began in November 2015.Kickstarter backers began receiving their orders during the third week of January 2017.As of mid-2017 the company no longer offers this version of the Omni (the "Omni Pro") to consumers, instead supplying it for commercial use only. Virtuix has shipped more than 3,500 Omni Pro systems to date to over 500 commercial locations.An updated consumer version of the device, called the "Omni One" has been planned for release by the end of 2021.

1. Virtuix

   We are in the midst of a revolution in virtual reality. The release of exciting new devices such as the Oculus Rift and Razer Hydra has brought the decades-old dream of true virtual reality closer than ever, but there's still one more piece to the puzzle: the Virtuix Omni.The Omni by Virtuix™ takes virtual reality to the next level- allowing anyone to stand up and traverse virtual worlds with the natural use of their own feet. The Omni is the first virtual reality interface for moving freely and naturally in your favorite game. Moving naturally in virtual reality creates an unprecedented sense of immersion that cannot be experienced sitting down.The Omni will free gamers from passive, seated gameplay, unleashing the full potential of virtual reality gaming with the Oculus Rift and future head mounted displays. Gaming on a keyboard, mouse or gamepad while seated pales in comparison to the intense experience and fun that comes from actually walking, running, and jumping in games.The Omni is the result of two years of design and testing. The base of the Omni is a grooved, low-friction surface. Special pinned shoes keep the foot stabilized and prevent lateral sliding. Users walk naturally-and the result is a natural interface that works with any game or application that uses keyboard input. Walk, run, jump, crouch, or strafe-movements mapped to the keyboard can be mapped to natural motion with the Omni.Applications of natural movement in virtual reality stretch far beyond gaming: training and simulation, fitness and exercising, virtual tourism, virtual tradeshows and events, meet-ups and multi-person adventures, virtual workplaces, museums, physical therapy, VR architecture, VR concerts… The possibilities are limitless. Virtual reality is the future.Virtuix has launched a Kickstarter campaign to get the Omni built and into the hands of as many VR enthusiasts, gamers, researchers and developers as possible: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1944625487/omni-move-naturally-in-your-favorite-game
