Virtual reality (VR) is not just about what you see.
The next generation of VR is HERE #PICO4 #PICOXR
Ekto VR has unveiled a pair of boots that are intended to make VR worlds far more immersive and less nauseating to walk around in. It’s one of a growing number of gadgets designed to make VR feel more realistic as the technology advances.
“VR is inherently spatial and embodied, but at this point in its evolution, it primarily appeals to only the visual and auditory senses, which limits the depth of immersion for the user,” Amir Bozorgzadeh, CEO of VR company Virtuleap, told Lifewire in an email interview.
Ekto’s current boots are likely out of the price range of casual VR users, as they retail for $15,000. They’re aimed at corporate training environments, but the company plans to release more consumer-friendly versions in the future.
