Aparentemente, esta é uma empresa que se dedica ao desenvolvimento e promoção de uma "plataforma de locomoção" (como é descrita), que oferece ao utilizador a possibilidade de atingir um nível superior de imersão numa realidade virtual, oferecendo a possibilidade de caminhar, efetivamente, sobre esse ambiente.
"How it works:
Virtusphere consists of a 10-foot hollow sphere, which is placed on a special platform that allows the sphere to rotate freely in any direction according to the user’s steps. A user is able to walk and run inside the sphere, viewing the virtual environment through the head-mounted display. The sensors collect and send data to the computer in real time and user’s movement is replicated within the virtual environment.
The same hardware set can be used for different applications simply by switching software.
Markets and applications for Virtusphere include but are not limited to:
• Military, counter-terrorism units, police, firefighters, security, operators of nuclear
power plants and petrochemical plants for safely training and development of practical
skills required for dangerous environments
• The video gaming industry (as the ultimate setting for immersive gaming);
• Events and shows;
• Fitness clubs and medical centers;
• Museums, education, tourism;
• Architects and real estate professionals;"

Embora dificilmente muita gente possa ter um dipositivo destes em casa, parece-me uma abordagem interessante no âmbito da realidade virtual.
