VRGO Chair - Motion Controller for use with VR
Hello everyone,
I wanted to introduce our VRGO project to the game developers and Rift enthusiasts within this forum. We’re very excited and interested to hear the opinions of the VR community so we can work with the feedback and hopefully make our project a reality.
Locomotion, or walking around in VR is a hotly discussed subject which has been limited by the conventional WASD, mouse or game controller inputs. Although alternative devices have recently started to hit the market, these past efforts have proven to be inconvenient, pricey, unresponsive and are simply not practical for the average home. What if instead of using conventional inputs to enter the virtual world, you could be fully immersed right within your own home, whilst sitting on a chair?
The VRGO is a highly responsive, easy to use motion controller for virtual reality. The chair works by tilting or turning in 360 degrees which is translated as motion in VR i.e. if you lean forward on the chair you move forward in VR. It’s very intuitive and users understand the principles in seconds.
We currently live on Kickstarter and have almost raised 100% in under 10 days!
Here's a preview of the campaign video:
I’m really excited by the future of virtual reality as the next technology that will define the way we play games, socially interact and do business in the future.
I’m really interested to hear your feedback, so if you have any thoughts please add to the conversation!
We'll be updating our progress within this thread as the project develops. If you want to keep up to date with news you can subscribe on our website: http://www.vrgochair.com.
