VRFocus: The future of virtual reality (VR) has never looked more exciting for videogames, but while there’s so much more opportunity than ever before there are also many hurdles to overcome. One such potential hazard is movement: when your view is so close a replication of a near-tangible world, do you really want your feet to be dictated by your fingers or thumb?
VRFocus delivers a post-mortem of the cancelled Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign for foot-based virtual reality (VR) controller Stompz with its creator.
VRFocus: Stompz developer Matt Carrell has revealed a new preview of the forthcoming Stompz motion-control input device via the popular virtual reality (VR) videogame, Affected. Developed as a ‘proof of concept’, Affected is available to download now via Oculus Share and Stompz will be made available to the public in due course.
VRFocus: Matthew Carrell, creator of the upcoming Stompz motion controller, has issued an update on the product. Speaking on a video blog, Carrell offered a look at the new version of the peripheral, which users strap to their feet and then move them to walk, run or more in a supported videogame. The controller is designed to be an effective, low cost motion controller for virtual reality (VR) titles that doesn’t require the user to strap into hefty hardware.
