Single-person omnidirectional treadmills for VR already exist, and as far as I know all of them use just such a harness: https://www.virtuix.com/ https://www.virtuix.com/
- modeless 3y agoYes, I know and I've used several types. They remain extremely niche exactly because they don't achieve anything like the natural walking feel people imagine these systems would provide.
- Animats 3y agoHere's a good overview of omnidirectional treadmills by a VR native.[1] There are schemes with rows of endless belts. Ball bearings. Slippery surfaces. Running while going nowhere can be made to work in VR. At least for people who are somewhat athletic. Note, though, that the Disney demo doesn't show any fast motion. Useful advice from the VR native: get on platform, harness up, then put on headgear. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN5RjAW8TV0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN5RjAW8TV0
