  1. I'd actually love to have this for fitness…I'd love to go on a jog through virtual worlds…or race other sprinters on a track, or run my way out of a big city that just got attacked by zombies or an air raid…it would be seriously cool!

  2. Pre-orders only $700? The thing costs 3.4k now with laughably small shoe sizes. Also ive tried the Omni (basically works the same way) and it was very awkward to use, like running up a lubed up ice-hill, very unnatural

  3. I don't understand all these frames to hold you… Sooooooo shit.

    A huge motor controlled ball (about 12 feet circumference) is the answer. Why has no one done it? Obviously residential installments are out of the question unless you bury it, but commercial installs in a warehouse would be easy.

    This is the only way to give a true infinite and unhindered game field.

    If you want to get really technical you could make the ball bigger still but made up of a bunch of actuator controlled rods over the surface so you can create real obstacles that you can climb over.

    I don't mean the ball where you are inside either…. In this ball you are on top on the outside.

  4. It doesn't seem like I would feel the illusion that I am covering ground when walking or running on it; more so just sliding my feet across a surface while remaining stationary
