2D Treadmill list
I thought I'd start a thread to list and discuss the walk-enabling devices that are currently available (though I'll use the term loosely since half of them seem to still be research projects). Vir...
I wonder if the Cyberwalk harness is not there for can't-stand-up-straight-balance but rather for contingency if it can't keep up with your motion and has to either up the treadmill velocity to pull you back from the edge, or let you wander off the edge, either way risking a stumble.
As for actual application, I'm with you mrYoda. I'm not sure some of the VR FPS wannabe-players have fully considered the physical requirements for playing a round where you have to physically run to get around the map. I'm sure there are those out there who think they could be in marathon runner shape if only they had a VR FPS rig, and for a few that may be true, but I'm guessing after a round or two would come the mapping of an autorun hotkey, which defeats the whole purpose.
