Kat VR is about to launch a compact omnidirectional virtual treadmill
If the idea of ​​using a controller to run in VR will make you feel outdated, Kat VR's upcoming Kat Walk Mini will excite you. The company has just released a new video detailing its compact omnidirectional virtual treadmill, which looks like it was moved directly from the "Top Player" and promises to be compatible with all current mainstream VR platforms.
The Kat Walk Mini combines a 4.9-foot wide square black platform with a 5.2-foot-high rotating back support, using support and foot sensors to track player movement and rotation. Supporting a person who is 6.5 feet tall and weighs 286 pounds, this shock-absorbing trampoline-like surface allows players to easily walk, sprint, run, and squat back during the game.
It is worth noting that the Kat Walk Mini radically reduced the weight and floor space of the company's original Kat Walk model. The model was first launched on Kickstarter in 2015 and received supporters in 2016 and 2017. . The Mini weighs 187 pounds and is less than half the original model size of 421 pounds. It is 4 feet shorter than the basket-type back support system. It is closer in design, but not in execution, but on the Virtuix Omni treadmill.
Despite its small size, the Kat Walk Mini benefited from technical improvements during the development of earlier models. It clearly uses a non-contact sensor with "precise foot position tracking" and "a much lower delay" than the original Kat Walk accessory. In addition, the foot sensors are powered directly by the machine rather than being separated, so they do not need to be charged or paired.
In addition, its compatibility is usually impressive. Kat VR said that the Kat Walk Mini will be compatible with all HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, PlayStaTIon VR, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. The argument for supporting this platform is simple. An open SDK will provide developers with integrated support, and games that support free mobility are clearly starting to work. These include "Doom VFR", "Skyrim VR", "Resident Evil 7" and other games.
The biggest public issue is pricing and availability. After having released a larger, heavier version of Kat Walk, Kat VR recently answered some questions on the Reddit website. For "ordinary consumers," the price promise is "affordable," Redditors believes, for most Kickstarter buyers, the price will be lower than the original price of $600. KatVR made some early predictions about the shipment of the first model, but actually provided some products, something that should not be used for any Kickstarter project. The company advises potential supporters to view the official page of the product for more details.
