This is definately something I would consider. Thanks MRTV.
Guys! It's out now on Indiegogo! This is gonna be awesome!
I was thinking in a Nano-Suit for virtual reality… like a Suit that ENDORSES when you toch a solid ;object; in game… I mean, for example. If there is a chair in-game the suit measure your distance to that chair and also, the Force of the colission by you+the chair…
That also changes the degree of colision….
I mean a suit that Allows you to even SIT in-game objects, or touch any solid object in-game… but the only thing that the suit needs to do is putting some kind of EXTREME PREASURE. in that specific space to allow you, to touch, sit, or interact with literally everything in game…
Obviously the suit should be All-body like a Crysis suit.
Again: I know is so hard to understand me, but imagine that you're with your headset in a virtual world, you're wearing the suit from head to feet. then you find let's say a wall in the game…
then (the suit and cameras obviously scan all your body movements) so you put a single finger in the wall… then you feel a PREASURE… a colission between your finger andthe wall…. but not so hard just a little… then you put your whole back in the wall, sou the suit enforces all that SPACE of your back + colission, more the preasure more preasure… then like MAGIC, you'll be able to fully interact with the wall.. and not just that, ANY OTHER OBJECT IN GAME…
feel the outline of a weapon, chair, car, or any other solid object…
that will be an amazing step, but the next step with that amazing suit would be able to feel the different textures of the objects.
Watching the footage makes me feel sick. x.x
It just ridiculous tho because nobody walks sitting down so how does this improve immersion at all?
I still think roller skates are the way to go, can't believe nobody has tried it yet. Its like the treadmill idea but instead if a moving floor wheels on your feet and i harness around your waist.
Wooow..this is so great idea!!
For me this doesn’t add VR immersion, especially if I’m seated in a chair just moving my feet. Maybe I’m being a bit too cynical 🤭
You deserve more than 16k subscribers… Great work
Hi Sebastian, you know something about the Samsung Odyssey + ?, the new upgrade hardware of Samsung Odyssey, they improve the display amoled to have less SDE
Is there some way to duck behind cover or is it something you have to give up using Cybershoes?
Wouldn't it actually be easier by using the Follow HMD mode and just quickly look left (or right) and walk a few steps, then look forward again?
sidewalk ? no ? if i was the creator of these shoes i will use use balls instead of rolls like the old mouse with balls.
Seems like a funny product, and it's very expensive… one question remains – It reduced motion sickness or eliminate it? I'm very prone to motion sickness… playing free locomotion games for few seconds and i'm done… If it solves it it's a big selling point, but still not even close to a good product.
looks good, but needs to have spheres instead of wheels on the bottom of the shoes.
Price point is too high for me
I have an idea. If you would hang from the ceiling on some kind of climbing harness or work at high altitude. And use this device in this way? 🙂
I think vr is good just a click in locomotion than walking or running you will get tired just walking or running for exactly for 20 minutes or 30 minutes .and you cannot finish the vr game if u get tired
Hi Sebastian, can you make a WizDish ROVR review? I'm wondering if to buy it. Thnx!
Try playing a hectic game like doom with it. Orjust try to pick up something on the ground while sitting in a chair.
I dont think this is something we need.
Is this really any better than swinging-arm solutions offered by games like Climbey? I thought that worked really well and it doesn't cost an extra cent.
can you try to use the cybershoes as a treadmill? I mean like a strap to keep you in place in the center of the carpet, so in other words, can you try to use the cybershoes while standing?
5:47 somebody needs to calibrate/fix his 3D printer. lol horrible! 😀
If the micro USB has any ridging its probably gonna destroy cables as my phone does, the better phones like samsung or new nokias have smaller or none ridging and their cables are fine.
Good review, Seb
The Oculus Quest will render PCVR totally obsolete. VR was never meant to being chained to a PC.
Why a roller and not a ball?
Cool idea for people with motion sickness but I would never use them.
Hmmm, i wonder if a ball, like a old mouse would have been better to allow for strafing, rather than just a forward backward roller.
Nobody ever wants to follow HMD; when any game implements this instead of follow controller direction it really pissed me off…
You forget to tell us what kind of chair you use for cybershoes?
If you be so kind and give us exact model or link to Amazon store (or Ikea) for which chair works the best (like the one in your living room) it would be really appreciated.
Also is the one you have are final design.
I’m asking that, because especially the link to the computer looks like really poorly made 3-D print. Thanks in advance – Peter (Cybershoes backer)
Sorry about this but…
DUUUMB
But for real if you could just step forward in your play area to start going in that direction, that would be way better than you looking like an idiot… I can see how these shoes could be pritty imersive but you look like a complete d wad
Nice review, Thanks
Cybershoes are great*
*don’t strafe lol.
How do they compare with something like Natural Locomotion?
Very interesting concept. I would've put 2 rolls in each shoe to detect lateral movement just like old ball mice.
Maybe for the 2nd version…
Hey Seb, you should do a comparison between this and openvr walk in place. Walk in place is a free download on github. It allows you to move in game by actually walking in place. I use it on all games that support free locomotion, and it works great.
Thanks for the review Seb, confirmed my gut feelings that it would actually work, glad I backed it! ;0)
It is true you'll look like a complete dork but I believe the experience is rich.
I am so glad you test all this hardware! Any news on you getting some gloves to try out?
I wish you had an affiliate link
For height adjustment, could you just use Advanced Settings?
