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.
Cyberith the company behind the Virtualizer, an omni-directional treadmill for virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMDs), has released a short video on visitors reactions to the device from Gamescom 2015 in August.

VRFocus - As promised, Cyberith has today launched its crowd-funding campaign for its upcoming virtual reality (VR) compatible omnidirectional treadmill, the Virtualizer. The company has started a Kickstarter campaign that hopes to raise $250,000 USD by 31st August 2014 in order to help fund production of the device, which will be compatible with the Oculus Rift VR headset. Those interested will be able to use the Kickstarter as a means to pre-order the third prototype version of the device.
