Strategic Objectives
• Discover the mechanical secrets behind omnidirectional treadmills and robotic floors.
• Master the psychology of redirected walking to trick the human brain.
• Explore vestibular stimulation techniques to eliminate VR motion sickness.
• Architect the future of haptic feedback and spatial navigation systems.
The Core Challenge
Virtual reality promises boundless exploration, yet physical boundaries and motion sickness remain the final frontiers of true immersion.
