With a sufficiently large version of this, why couldn't you jump, crouch, crawl, and lie down? The system would move you back towards the center between jumps.

A remaining missing piece is possibly some type of Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation system. Tell me if I'm totally off-base on this, but this seems like a technological achievable problem.
I'm not saying it's perfect (you can't simulate scrambling over a rock, for example), but it would enable a pretty wide range of movements.
- bear141 3y agoYeah it seems like people are assuming the person engaging with the floor would be kept completely stationary. It seems to me if the floor were covering a larger area and therefore required less manipulation to keep you stationary then it could use minimal inputs to keep you within the borders and still allow your inner ear to receive most of the inertial inputs required to feel realistic.

- Wowfunhappy 3y agoAs I said, "tell me if I'm totally off-base on this, but [Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation] seems like a technologically achievable problem." I say this because early forms of the technology appear to already exist, e.g. https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/research-labs/advanced-technology-labs/gvs.html https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/capabilities/research-l...
