Hi everyone! I'm Gustav, founder of VirtuStride. I’ve always felt that locomotion is one of the biggest missing pieces in VR. Walking with a joystick breaks immersion, and many existing solutions rely on constant stepping motions or bulky treadmills. VirtuStride started as an experiment to create something lighter and more intuitive. After many iterations, I built a functional prototype designed to have the weight and comfort of regular sandals, so it feels natural to wear. You can walk naturally in your room using the headset’s tracking. When you want to continue moving in VR, you simply press a small button with your toes. This allows a smooth transition between walking physically in your room and continuing movement in the virtual environment. We’ve recently launched our Kickstarter pre-launch page, and the goal is to make VR movement simple, natural, and accessible. I’d love to hear your thoughts — does this approach to VR locomotion make sense to you?
