CYBERSHOES

HAVE you experienced virtual reality (VR) on devices such as the HTC Vive, and simply cannot get enough of it?

Here is an accessory that will go the distance in making you feel as though your virtual reality experience has entered the next level — Cybershoes.

Being an affordable and innovative VR accessory, the Cybershoes is worn on your feet so that you can walk, run or flee through a VR environment, making the entire experience even more realistic. With the Cybershoes strapped directly onto the user’s feet, the user will be seated in a swivel bar stool for an optimal and safe experience.

Currently compatible with just about all VR games, the Cybershoes will play nice with the likes of SteamVR, the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Windows Mixed Reality.

Wearing the Cybershoes might feel a bit weird and out of place at first as one gets used to controlling the in-game movement through exterior physical movement, but it has a low learning curve that will have you up and running in no time.

As long as you already have your very own VR setup, you can pick up the Cybershoes and enhance the overall experience.

Setting up the Cybershoes is a snap. It also has far more uses apart from conventional VR gaming since it can be used in training and planning for industrial facilities, enhance existing physical rehabilitation programmes for the elderly with a fun tool, as well as help lead a potential home buyer to walk through a virtual build up of the new home without even having to be on-site.

Having a small footprint does not matter to the Cybershoes since it features directional tracking within the device itself, while relying on highly accurate analogue technology to detect the difference between small steps and fast steps.

The unique soles on the Cybershoe also allows users to perform a walking movement while being half-way seated without any physical discomfort even after long hours of use, while letting you get in some exercise as you play.
