Virtuix Omni (NEW R&D Version Video)
We developed a prototype that demonstrates crouching functionality for the Omni. Note: this prototype is extremely clunky, and not close to any product we would ever release to market. We are still investigating how to make this functionality available to our backers and customers. While crouching is not difficult to achieve mechanically, adding these moving parts would increase the cost structure of the product significantly (far beyond the reach of our current price point). Not to mention the reliability and maintenance headaches that typically accompany moving parts. That being said, perhaps a good-looking variation of this movable upper structure could one day be available as a high-end upgrade?

- Interesting as a research project, but seem far away from anything that would fit in anyone's house (unless you just cleared out a garage or something).
- This is perfectly tailored to the professional training market - Police / Military etc.
I Hope VO realizes there's lots of money to be made in that sector.
Peejle - Not good, will feel the weight pressure while moving up and down.
- One or two more iterations and the Omni will look like the Cyberith Virtualizer and cost the same :D
