VRFocus - VRFocus took a first look at Matthew Carrell’s Stompz motion control a few weeks ago. It’s designed to be a cost-effective way to impliment motion tracking into virtual reality (VR) experiences by strapping a device around your foot and tracking steps. While the idea was solid, it was clear that plenty of work still needed to be done on the device. Now Carrell has provided details on Stompz’s next iteration, addressing some of the past issues.

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.
