String Walker

February 6, 2008 | 11:44 pm

Hey cool! These guys in Japan made a cool jig to give feedback when walking in a virtual environment. Gives resistance to your feet via strings to simulate the virtual environment that is being walked through. The coolest thing is it supports walking in any direction and does so by rotating with the user… anyways… the video speaks for itself.

Backup at high speed and try to pop a balloon with a needle attached to the rear bumper of the car. Balloon is attached to a wall. Pop the balloon without knocking over the wall. Fun! Fun!
