Watch the video of the real Cyberspace Interface in action.
To make virtual walking a reality, the CyberWalk researchers had to address five key issues: providing a surface to walk on, controlling the surface in a way that minimised forces on the user, developing a non-intrusive tracking system, displaying a high-quality visualisation, and ensuring a natural human perception of the virtual environment.
And while your wandering around on the treadmill your probably wearing one of these headsets.
