We have researched and developed over the past 10 years a virtual reality motion platform (the ROVR) for use with head mounted displays like Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, StarVR, Gear VR, and Daydream spec mobile phones. - in fact any head mounted display for VR.
The ROVR allows a person of any ability and age to move freely, at will, in open VR worlds in safety for hours - at home or in an office environment and so experience real presence VR.
Without physicality, virtual reality has a serious problem since 80% of people will feel simulation sickness if what they see does not match with what they feel.
Now some have sought to overcome this problem using software tricks like teleportation, moving slowly and keeping objects far away so that relative movement appears slow.
But software tricks destroy immersion and the sense of real presence, so VR experiences aren’t compelling and no-one is calling for VR sequels.
The ROVR uses several neurological and physics tricks - and one of these is important to understand. We don’t carry memories of how we move our legs when we walk - you probably walked to where you are reading this and yet you will have no memories of how you moved your legs to get to where you are now. This means that so long as our brains get the right triggers we will think we have been walking or running.
A lot of research in universities and with medical input has evolved to the present ROVR VR motion platform and thousands of people in now 30 countries have experienced real presence VR. Big brands you would have heard of (Samsung, Nissan, Wells Fargo, British Army) and many others have validated what we claim, through repeat purchase of ROVRs and we continue to sell worldwide.
Content developers and Story tellers
Why is no-one calling for VR sequels? - Its because few people have experienced unfettered real presence virtual reality. Even room scale VR suffers because the world is bigger than a room and that means teleportation:( The result is always compromised story-lines and content.
With ROVR VR there are no restrictions on story-lines or content, speeds or accelerations. People react intuitively and they can walk or run for ever - there are no space limitations.
We can ship anywhere - it takes ~20 minutes to set up and you’re away.
