Freeaim

What will make VR more realistic? Realistic movement. The best way to support realistic movement is through a large physical space that allows users to move naturally. That said, large physical spaces aren't practical for: - Scalable adoption - Large multiuser simulations - Vast virtual environments Additional options: - Teleportation - VR treadmills - Unique motion devices (ex. GLYDR) - VR shoes (Freeaim video below) We've seen a few variations of all of the above but, without testing, Freeaim's shoe solution seems to be the most realistic for the largest number of use cases. Hopefully soon, these solutions will be fully ready/priced for consumer adoption and used by enterprise users at scale! What's your favourite VR accessory? Or what accessory would you like to see available to improve your VR experience?

Meeting the approachable Freeaim team and seeing their #VR shoes up-close was the highlight of #AWE2024. I had a compelling chat with Harvey B. which further convinced me of their value. A device that lets people walk in place is crucial for the future of VR. And this is the most elegant solution I've seen. I can't wait to invest in a dev kit and start prototyping software applications for Freeaim shoes! Also shoutout to Matthew Hargrove for answering so many questions up front and pointing me to the devs.
