Cue the\u00a0<strong>Virtuix Omni VR treadmill<\/strong>, which will be available from July 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The price: $499 (around R5,200). That does not include shipping fees, a PC game controller, or an Oculus Rift headset.<\/p>\n<p>What you do get is the treadmill, a support harness, and a bespoke pair of special shoes which work in tandem with the treadmill&#8217;s low friction surface allowing you to walk, run, or jump.<\/p>\n<p>The Omni was playable at EGX London last year, and we have included videos of it in action.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-EHJP1KwwPA?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l9gJPRTqHCg?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-W0oBP5iEbk?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Would you game with a VR treadmill?
