Without a doubt, virtual reality headsets are amazing, and they continue to amaze people by contributing a visual medium that cannot be topped by any television makes or models. The 3D experience is just unbeatable.
Samsung's Gear VR and other headwears powered by smartphones are definitely selling well to the masses. There are also innovations that are tapping into the PCs and consoles, which promise to deliver impeccable experiences to customers.
Yet, with a bit of flaws concerning the side effects of 3D viewing like nausea that occurs when seeing shows in a virtual surrounding, we can say that technology needs a bit more of a nudge.
Good news! Several companies have actually addressed this problem by developing peripherals that are made to enhance the VR experience without the accompanying issues. One of the supplemental gadgets that has done pretty well so far is Roto, a motorized chair that has a footplate controller, allowing the person to control that speed and direction of the seat.
Roto, according to Engadget, performs similar functions as that of a joystick or mouse, but gives off an exemplary performance by bringing you to a new realistic world in VR. Roto's main aim is to provide users with a sense of freedom when it comes to exploring the virtual environment.
Techdigest reported earlier that Roto is in between two stages, including being a prototype and in production. Kickstarter will be funding the production unit, which will be launched on March 12th. The base unit and footpad set will cost under £200.
