VR FOOTTROLLER
A new Human Interface Device (HID) unlocking the control power of your feet
For natural VR locomotion and foot action based game controls
Step into VR with Foottroller
The Foottroller replaces traditional joysticks for movement control in VR, offering a more intuitive and natural experience through foot-based input. The device provides natural, smooth, and responsive speed control, enabling seamless speed transitions, which can reduce motion sickness often associated with hand controls. These collective features significantly enhance and immerse VR experiences, making movement feel as natural as in the real world.
Four-way movement control
Foottroller four-way movement control naturally generates controls for Forward, Backward, Left and Right movement by the user's foot actions, which replaces the need of a joystick, and frees the user's hands from movement control tasks in VR.
Instructions:
Setup and test Foottroller with Windows PC
