A Journey from Simtek Omnidirectional VR Treadmill to VR Hoverboard
Simtek was known for launching the world’s first belt based omnidirectional VR treadmill [https://simtekxr.com/pages/vr-treadmill] in 2023. They differentiate themselves from KAT and Omni’s treadmills by choosing the household treadmill as the starting point for authentic walking simulation, aiming for easier adaptation to a wider user base. The hoverboard they are currently proposing is a brand-new locomotion solution for VR interaction.
