The Omni One, a new full-body VR gaming system that is said to deliver a next-level, all-in-one immersive experience for VR gaming, featuring innovations that include a 360-degree treadmill for running, jumping, and crouching through games of all genres, is now available for purchase for $2,595, Virtuix has announced. Customers can expect to find an Omni One Treadmill, a customized VR headset, a pair of hand controllers, a pair of overshoes, and a pair of foot trackers in the box for the system, which counts Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, Sniper Elite, and Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom among its lineup of games.
Virtuix writes:
- “Omni One comes with everything you need including a customized Pico 4 Enterprise headset along with the treadmill and overshoes with sensors for tracking movement.”
- “Assembly and disassembly take minutes, and the system’s wheels make it easy to move and stow away as necessary.”
- “Forget dedicating an entire room to a VR setup; Omni One offers a convenient portal to other worlds whenever desired.”
- “The 50+ titles coming to Omni One have been specifically optimized with this movement in mind, like Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, Sniper Elite VR, Amid Evil, Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, and Ilysia.”
- “Play exclusive titles developed by Virtuix to take full advantage of the hardware, like competitive multiplayer shooter Elite Force and co-op zombie wave shooter Dead Zone. Or, connect Omni One to a VR-capable PC and play thousands of titles.”

A word from Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix:
Bringing full-body VR to homes has always been our mission, and we’re beyond grateful to our beta community and the thousands of preorder customers for sharing our vision. When you play on Omni One and experience how much the system’s freedom of movement immerses you in the game, you will never look the same at traditional ways of gaming.

With my luck it would break and I'd face plant.
It would be cool to try something like this some time though.
That's the closest we are likely to ever get to a "Holo Deck" like experience in my lifetime.
Same.
I've yet to try even normal VR.
I thinkses abouts 1/2 to 2 million needs to be added to ze price. For my tiny little condo could not fit such a monstrosity and I would need a new house or much, much (order of magnitude) bigger condo.
Otherwise looks nifty!
Mostly the same. My first Pixel phone in 2016 came with one of those complimentary Google Carboard VR headsets and some sort of little hand controller.
That is the only VR I have ever tried, and honestly it kind of sucked.
Like how big does that gut belt go and how much weight can the treadmill handle hopping around on it?
