And hey, maybe this will finally make you start jogging. After all, you\u2019ve been promising to do it ever since January…<\/span><\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re going to talk about how <\/span>virtual reality experiences can be improved<\/b> using a treadmill. We’re also covering some of the best models available right now, focusing on both their pluses and minuses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds good? No doubt! Let\u2019s see what these marvelous pieces of technology can actually do!<\/span><\/p>\n

Walk in virtual reality! Like…with your feet!<\/span><\/h2>\n

While gaming or enjoying any other type of virtual reality experience which implies walking, you can do it automatically.

You simply walk or run around, exploring the simulated environment surrounding you. And, sometimes, you can hit a door or a chair, while trying to escape from a zombie, like I did a few days ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

For us, this is…decent. But why stick to \u201cdecent\u201d when there\u2019s room \u201cbetter\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though there are more than two years since the first concepts were presented, only now <\/span>virtual reality treadmills became accessible<\/b> to a bigger public category. Most of them retail for around $2,000, but you can get one for as low as $700, like the <\/span>Virtuix Omni<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a lot of great games which can be played using one, but our favorite experience is by far Grand Theft Auto V, even though it wasn\u2019t any of us here who tried it. But we we\u2019re all fans of the game and devoured it when it was launched!<\/span><\/p>\n
