shut up and take my money!

I feel like this would be awesome for arcades

I would trip and shove the barrel of my gun in the dirt and then have it explode in my face. Like real life.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!
EthanHeath
Having actually used one of these, its actually awful. Its uncomfortable, not easy to run in, and certainly distracts from vr immersion.
JerryManTheBrown
This looks so very 90s

That's 24th century holodeck technology right there.

Can't actually fall down in them. I've used one. Wanna know how it is?
YouBetterBite
I'm more interested in crouching or proning
RunningWaterMonster
It must be hard to play a first person shooter right? Wouldn't you die a lot, like all the time? It can't be as responsive as a console.
RunningWaterMonster
Sorry, controller* not console
NateintheNorth
Not too bad, but I was playing a single player game. It didn't feel like walking, really. Felt like just rubbing my feet on the pad.
RunningWaterMonster
Ty for the input
YouBetterBite
I'm more interested in crouching or proning
NateintheNorth
Yeah, which this can't do because you're strapped in.
YouBetterBite
So the pros: You feel like you are playing the game which is cool like omg. Cons: Cant crouch or prone how do i play without it omg panic nu

Vaporware 2.0 (now with Kickstarter)
NotIrony
Kickstarter is literally a vaporwarehouse. They've mastered the business on cashing out and bro'ing down.

"JESUS WEPT!!!"
enciladus
that little jumps he does while running made it for me.

Stop saying Jesus wept.

glad I'm a poor college student now.When I graduate in 4 years, get a good job making descent money this technology will be way more refined
NateintheNorth
Why will your money go down? :P but yeah this could be done better.
ltsDizzyD
It can only get better. Or not take off and just go away in a few years
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
I remember when this was on Shark Tank and they all turned it down because they figured it would just collect dust.
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
Wait, one changed their mind www.roadtovr.com/mark-cuban-shark-tank-virtuix-omni-3-million-3000000-investment-funding-venture-capital/
UncleKitten
But... But I'm lazy.. though this looks awesome
OriginalPiR8
They did take your money. It was on Kickstarter years ago just after the occulus in fact. About $499 if I remember right.
BigAZNMan
They've made Overwatch playable on a similar contraption in Korea. Pretty neat
ButchLobster
Perfect, exactly what I always wanted with my gaming: Exercise
ButchLobster
I said sarcastically; I need to maintain my sloth
BaselessRumors
Enjoy the slip-n-slide. I already lifted your wallet.
adbaby99
Makes me think of the movie GAMER
Swandiveintotheasphalt
I get exhausted using a standard controller
lokishadowgirl
imagine playing legend of Zelda on this
Movietimeme
FortressCraft
Having used this - it's shit, no matter how cool the videos make it seem.
Nize426
In what way? I wouldn't buy it regardless but just curious. Too much traction?
SgtLemming
Reports say not enough and it just feels really un-natural.
NateintheNorth
I agree with your sentiment. Not a good enough application for the cost.
SorkyMorky
Whatever happened with this? This is old. That's a Dev1 Oculus I think. Virtuix Omni
NateintheNorth
I've played one at a local VR arcade. They're OK.

Shrais
Same, they've just started to ship single containers to QC check them and are slowing disseminating them out to backers. They plan to 1/2
Shrais
2/2 increase production once they are 100% comfortable with the quality and start mass shipments.
xGBHxPegasus
Was this the one which cancelled pre-orders for international backers? Or am i thinking of something else.
anActualHumanPerson
That's some Ready Player One level equipment, that is.
qtip13
That's an awesomely fun book!
RonaldBilliusWeasley
I started that book yesterday. I finished it last night. At 3 am. Good book
SteveMcQueenIsMySpiritAnimal
Exactly what I thought when I saw it.
birdpersonisgay
That book is amazing.
jebert
Not sure if unpopular opinion, but too bad armada sucked
birdpersonisgay
Armada didn't suck IMO but was not up to par and felt rushed. It also had all the same references as Ready Player One.
Ijustreallyreallylikeelephants
I've been debating if I should read this book, I'm not a gamer but it still sounds interesting.
myusernamebringsalltheboystotheyardandtheyrelikeitstoodamnlong
It is extremely pandering and sucks up to the nerd community a pathetic amount, but overall it is a pretty fun read
IAmArthurKingofTheBritons
I'm not a gamer at all. But I've read it twice and listened to it once. It's great
silentjay01
I enjoyed Wil Wheaton's reading of it.
ramennoodled
I hope the movie ends up being decent.
IAmGodot
There is so much in the books, I don't know how you translate that to the screen.
sirplayerone
Never thought I'd say this, but Spielberg better not fuck this up.
silentjay01
Spielberg is totally going to fuck it up. He's going to cut corners on licensing rights that will force him to change non-critical (1/?)
silentjay01
Pop Culture references. A look at the cast list shows that H is probably going to be called iRok because its a funnier name. (2/?)
DaBurger
Nah, they sat in chair dome things with helmets, Remember? He made himself excersise before playing with a timer lock out.
GingeraffeTW
Except for the students involved with sports, they had the full haptic treadmill.
IAmGodot
Later in the book Wade's rig had an omni-directional treadmill and the rig in Morrow's house had a hamster-ball thing. Both let you run.
anActualHumanPerson
I remember. But I do think this is as close as we're getting to the haptic suits/chairs for at least a few more years.
DaBurger
Cheers to that! I could use the exercise! Could you imagine playing destiny or the division?
SaintMaceToTheFace
Yes
ruben10111
Any MMORPG, or worse: Skyrim
SchmuseTigger
Yes, after playing for 3 hours I'll have a full workout. Said every gamer ever. Oh wait.. that reminds me of the MS kinect camera..
Beef410
There were actually a lot of weight loss stories during the DDR craze.
WholesomeRuler
Except the motion recognition was embarrassing at its best moments.
SchmuseTigger
yes, it has huge limitations. But second one seems to work quite well if you have enough space for it (not too close or too far)
IdkIdkbitch
That's a lot more fun than kinect and very new
SchmuseTigger
yes and no. Think about it, people play shooters for hours. Most gamers do not want to move for hours. It will be a niche thing.
WTFyus
I wouldnt call it very new, i remember seeing omnis at least 3 years ago. This is just a somewhat updated version
Goomba92
Remember when Pokémon Go was a thing?
SchmuseTigger
I still use it from time to time to be honest. Main problem is still that thing drains the battery like nothing else
HotelFourSix
I 'member!
ReavenIII007
And the wii...
IamwhatIamandthatsallIam
Dance Dance Revolution anybody...
aWiseSageOnceSaid
I honestly had that when it came out for ps2, I'd play it almost every day until I was dripping with sweat, I kinda miss it
SchmuseTigger
well, truth be told, a lot of people played wii sports for ages. That seemed to be fun. But they never bought another game.. so not gamers
Manieman
Zelda twilight princess
PhilWeseman
My wife and I own wii fit and used it for a good while before getting bored with it. Then wii fit it right back in the box. Forever.
SchmuseTigger
compared to say a gym membership, worth it?
PhilWeseman
If you're a competitive hula hooping fanatic, I suppose. Ultimately, you are going to your living room with a videogame console.
Zodi
the difference is that you can't trick this system.
SchmuseTigger
Does not change the fact that the vast, vast majority of gamers does not want to run for hours..
Zodi
so they won't play that game then. Jesus christ man
SchmuseTigger
They will not buy or use that treadmill. You get that I hope
Zodi
Most people won't buy a treadmill. It doesn't mean some people don't like to run.
BubblesSayingDecent
Yeah literally the opposite of what gaming is about, being able to sit down and get lost in a game not go jogging
GadenKerensky
This IS getting lost in a game, you're almost literally in it.
SchmuseTigger
This is a workout if you really play. Great workout. Huge immersion. But ask 100 gamers if they want to move a lot and note the answers..
BubblesSayingDecent
"sit down" you missed my entire point.
BubblesSayingDecent
Don't get me wrong it looks great and all but it's not gonna replace normal consoles.
GadenKerensky
Probably because Consoles cost a tenth of what this does.
BubblesSayingDecent
Even if they cost the same price they wouldn't, not everyone wants to go running every time they want to play a game.
