What is the Omni and how is the Omni unique?
The Virtuix Omni™ is the first and only omni-directional treadmill that supports a full virtual reality experience. The Omni allows anyone to walk, run, and jump in within a 360-degree virtual world by leveraging natural movement. Affordable and compact, the Omni frees gamers from seated game play and unleashes the full potential of virtual reality gaming and entertainment.
How does the Omni work?
The Omni is a non-moving treadmill that consists of a low friction surface with radial grooves. The user wears specialized Omni shoes that have a low-friction, intricately configured sole that stabilizes the foot, allowing for a steady gait rather than having the foot slide from left to right. The purpose of the Omni shoe configuration is to mimic a natural gait. The Omni comes with a waist harness that provides safety and subtle support so the user is allowed to walk completely hands free, enabling other peripheral equipment to be held.
Why does the Omni use a concave surface instead of a flat surface?
The objective of the Omni is to enable a natural walking and running stride. The concave, low-friction surface is the result of two years of research, experimenting, and prototyping. The concave surface allows the user’s foot to slide back by gravity after each step, whereas a flat surface would require the user to physically move their feet backwards with their own force – which is not part of a natural stride. The concave and soft surface of the Omni also reduces any impact on the joints from walking or running.
Can the Omni be played with any game?
Yes, the Omni can be used with any out-of-the-box PC game that uses keyboard input (as long as the Oculus Rift or other head-mounted display is supported). The Omni works best with first-person perspective games where players can walk around and enjoy the environment (such as Skyrim or Minecraft) or first person shooters. An extensive collection of game demos is available on our website and YouTube channel.
