Virtual Space Devices- Present
 |
Virtual Space Devices,
Inc. has developed omni-directional treadmill (ODT) technology over
the last 10 years, working primarily with the US Army. Combining the
infinite plane of the ODT with an immersive virtual reality system
permits an immersant to walk or run freely through the digital landscape.
Navigation is transparent and natural. Immersion is total. The ODT
surface is flat and continuous. It is not a bowl or made of discrete
plates. The infinite surface is motion-slaved to the user’s motion
with tight control and no inertial residue. Belts that comprise the
surface are substantially similar to those used in conventional treadmills. |
|
| A third-generation,
fully integrated, ODT-based simulator is called the "iPlaneTM". It
is a gaming and internet communication appliance, addressing numerous
high-growth markets. The iPlaneTM is a disruptive technology that
will change the way we interact both as individuals and as groups.
This physical interface is the final link in the convergence of fast
computers, low cost graphics, and broadband infrastructure. It is
the literal next-step in the evolution of human-computer interfaces.
It is the step that takes us fully into cyberspace. |

Virtual Space Devices- Future
 |
It is the ultimate
entertainment device. Imagine a multi-player internet game where you
control your actions not with your fingers but with your entire body,
walking or running in any direction in a realistic manner. Now imagine
being able to fly or leap tall buildings in a single bound. It is
the ultimate training device. Imagine allowing firefighters, police,
soldiers and construction workers the opportunity to physically train
in a realistic environment without the danger of injury or death.
It is the ultimate exercise experience. Imagine taking a run on the
Great Wall of China today and tomorrow a jog through the streets of
Rome. It is the ultimate travel device. Imagine traveling to the moon,
the middle of the jungle in South Africa or taking a tour of the Pyramids
of Egypt. |

It is the ultimate time travel machine. Imagine spending a
day experiencing ancient Athens as the Acropolis was being constructed
or the devastation of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It is the
ultimate education device. Imagine having the ability to bring people
together that would otherwise be financially impossible. Instead
of reading about the culture and people of Madagascar, your local
7th grade class could spend a day in a village in Madagascar experiencing
life as the native people do. Then imagine the people of Madagascar
having the same opportunity to spend a day in your city or town.
It is the ultimate design tool. Imagine the benefits of being able
to walk through a building before a single brick has been laid.
The iPlaneTM. Imagine the possibilities.
