Oh that’s nice. Would love to see someone put it through its paces though. Like really try to run. It would be amazing to see something like this that you can’t physically get off of no matter how hard you try. That would be the pinnacle of what this thing can be.
While the walking demos show slow, methodical movement, the one demo with the chair ( https://youtu.be/68YMEmaF0rs?t=269 ) is definitely much faster. Maybe it can't handle automatically moving the human if they walk too fast and suddenly change direction (improvable with better software), maybe they don't want to overpromise what it can do.
Yeah the 'force' movement was really cool. Maybe this is the other way you could do the Jamiroquai video for Virtual Insanuty?
I've never really used VR stuff but I wonder what does it feel like in your head when your legs move and your view moves but your body doesn't?
And then the edge case is extreme but topologically, can something like this work for running where you can lose contact with the ground and your body is sort of compensating for momentum?
I guess treadmills work without people flying off them, so is it just a matter of getting the impulse right?
