VRFocus- In August 2014 Cyberith ran a hugely successful Kickstarer crowd-funding campaign for the Virtualizer, a locomotion device to be used with virtual reality (VR) experiences. The company ended up raising some $361,452 USD towards the production of the kit, which sees users stand on a platform, strap on a harness and then run around in VR environments as if they were really there. The first shipments of the device were expected to go out to campaign backers in March 2015, however Cyberith has recently announced a delay to its schedule.
