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?
