$1k for the consumer version and they aim at reducing the price for future versions. I've been following the project for about 2 years and they seem like genuinely good people who want to make a cool and useful product. I'm personally more interested in these then in a kat walk vr treadmill.
Still, there's been something of a pattern recently where new 'smart' devices end up losing support after like 3 years or so.
So, I'd hope those fancy shoes directly connect to your VR system, because if it relies in any way on the internet, they can just up and turn it off whenever they want as so many other companies have done.

Ha ha ha. These would be perfect for them.
I think my upstairs neighbours have had these for a while already
As that person steps forward with one leg, omnidirectional wheel modules on the other leg's shoe move that leg back
Sounds like VR to ER content waiting to happen.
Those look like Cybertrucks for your feet.
Wouldn't allow walking to the side though.
Disney's solution is still much better.
so now you can make the same effort as in real life to play your game .. great
some vr games I have tried have controller stick walk and physical walking separate so if you do both you can move really fast at the expense of needing a huge space and the risk of getting really disoriented and injured. It's been a while so I'm not sure which ones prevented it but some did which was even more disorienting.
anyway I put in more effort than real life...
The fuck? These are more expensive than some treadmills, why bother?
I'd rather just have a reliable walk-in-place option. I walk in place without it just for the immersion but it would be great to pair locomotion technology.
