Tagline: 360° treadmill for moving in virtual reality
Description: What they do: Virtuix has solved the final barrier to making virtual reality real with the first multi-directional treadmill that lets users physically walk, run, and jump in every direction while comfortably remaining in place supported by their harness.Why it's a big deal: Virtual reality is the future. Facebook spent $2 Billion to acquire Oculus Rift last year, and it’s predicted that 85 million head mounted visual displays will be sold by 2018. But virtual reality will never achieve its potential unless users can move in the virtual world just like they do in real life. The Virtuix Omni solves that problem and opens up exciting new markets for VR. The market isn’t just gamers. Immersive walkthroughs of architecture plans is in the future, and the armed forces have been searching for a truly immersive combat simulator for years. So it’s no surprise they already have interest from Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin.

FAQ:
- Q: Do you have an idea of what your next improvement to the Omni will be?
  A: Hi Ben, we'd like to bundle the Omni with a tracked gun or other hand-controlled peripheral, so that we can offer the "whole product" to our customers. Expanding our tracking hardware and software to peripherals would be a possible next step. Our objective is to provide the "Full VR Rig" that enables users to entirely immerse themselves in the virtual world, rather than just sitting down on a chair with a gamepad or keyboard. No other product or company is currently offering such a Full VR ex...
- Q: Did you develop all the technology for the Omni yourselves?
  A: Hi Will, yes, all hardware and software is developed by Virtuix.
- Q: I understand that you plan to launch this summer with the oculus rift. Is there a relationship that you planning to develop with that company or with Facebook?
  A: Hi Dilraj, the Omni is agnostic of the head mounted display and works with any current or future headset, incl. Oculus Rift, Valve/HTC Vive, and Samsung GearVR. We have good relationships with all HMD developers, but we do not have any formal partnerships given our desire to stay HMD-independent.
- Q: Very exciting tech. Makes me want to get into gaming again. I think this will be a good platform to build peripherals onto. Maybe a vest that will provide some haptic feedback when the player takes hit point or backs into a wall.
  A: Hi Li, that is a great remark. In addition to being a physical platform, the Omni is indeed also a platform for other VR hardware and software (in fact, the only platform that can currently bring together all other VR peripherals).
- Q: What will you use the funds raised in this round for? I noticed a most recent 3M funding round for protype development to commercialization.
  A: Hi Teerawee, the purpose of this round is to comfortably extend our runway to Q2'16 and get past a few major inflection points in the next twelve months before we potentially raise a large Series A: the shipping and delivery of our backlog of 4,000+ Omni units, the shipping of consumer VR HMDs like the Oculus Rift, Valve Vive, and Sony Morpheus, and the crossing the chasm of VR to a mass market medium through fascinating VR content that is coming online later this year. We believe that now is...
