Weird Yet Cool VR Inventions

Weird Yet Cool VR Inventions Virtual Reality is
definitely the next big thing and every other
company is busy capitalising the forthcoming
opportunity. In the last blog, we spoke about the
Best Head Mounted Displays available in Indian
market and they are surely giving competition to
all the corporate biggies. But the industry did
not stop at the thought of latching devices over
our faces and teleporting us to a new space. VR
world is booming, people are experimenting with
out-of-the-box content and inventing the craziest
of gadgets every single day. While some of these
gadgets are uber cool, the others make us think
if we are ever gonna try them, considering their
weird quotient. Even though they sound a bit
weird, their specs are pretty amazing which made
us bring them to you. So here we list down some
of the weird sounding but interesting looking VR
inventions which might hit the consumer market
sometime soon. Kat Walk
For every crazy gamer out there, Kat Walk is a
dream come true. It is sort of a
multi-directional treadmill which is being
utilized for VR devices. Kat Walk is best for all
the first person action games available in
virtual reality because this amazing gadget will
let you completely immerse in it while you are
running, walking and jumping for real. There is
also a light strap which would come around the
waist to subtly remind you of the Kat Walks
area so that you dont exit that space. Doesnt
this sound like the coolest possible workout
regime? Every amazing product inspires many
others, and one such inspiration is The
Virtualizer. While Kat Walk comes from Japan,
The Virtualizer is European. The gadgets are
very much similar, just that this one looks a
little more constructive having a plastic band
that wraps around your waist.

Birdly
Well, let me know about one person who has never
thought about flying high in the air. Couldnt
think of any, right? Thats what! It is one of
those unattainable dreams, which everyone has
thought about. And Birdly makes this dream a
stark reality or better to say, stark virtual
reality. This cool set-up takes your vertical
body and puts you horizontal, arms spread like
wings, fan blowing on your face and headset
taking you on a soaring adventure. The breeze on
your face, the reaction of the wind, the birds
flying along, does it feel good? Surely it does.
We are so eagerly waiting for this bird
flight. VRGO
Since, workout while gaming is not everyones cup
of tea, we arent gonna force you for that. But
instead, we get you a nice cup of coffee. Okay!
Lameness apologized. We are here talking about
the ultimate swivel chair which responds to your
movements when you are all immersed in your VR
HMD. Like obviously, you wouldnt want a simple
chair ruining the ultimate virtual experience for
you.

The Manus
Wouldnt it be cool if you had the option of
feeling the things around you in a game like the
ultimate way to interact with your surroundings?
And the Manus VR gloves are here to make this
possible too. These are a pair of gaming gloves
which detects and then displays your hands in the
virtual world. The Manus VR glove tracks hand
movement, using a combination of high-tech
sensors inside the glove. Above that, the makers
claim that with these gloves, you can use your
hands just as intuitively and seamlessly in the
virtual world as you would in real life. Tesla
Suit
Did we earlier say ultimate way to interact with
surroundings? Well, not until you read about the
Tesla suit. The last one on our list has to be
this amazing piece of technology. Tesla suit
allows users to interact with the virtual
environment, while actually feeling it. It
enables you to feel virtual reality, whether
its a punch from your opponent from a VR
fighting game, or walking within a
virtual
4
environment and feeling the active moment. The
suit is designed and built with a full array of
haptic feedback sensors. This is just a part of
what Tesla suit is about, there is so much more
to it if we get into the details. So, these are
just some of the crazy gadgets churning out from
the VR world, but frankly, there is a lot of it
to fit in one list. But for now, all we hope is
that these zaniest ones are available to the
general public very soon. And, in case you get
to lay your hands on any of these or other cool
VR gadgets, do share your experience.
