 Hey, I'm Ellis with The Verge at CES 2014 checking out the latest version of the Virtuix Omni. It has 40 capacitive sensors in its base to monitor my every step. Let's check it out. This is a really crazy experience. Almost feels like I'm inside a holodeck. Every step I'm taking is replicated on screen and I can even run if I want to. Virtuix is saying that it's actually very analog in terms of how fast or how slow you can go. It's not like there are only three or four speeds you can go at. It all depends on how fast you're walking. This is absolutely a little bit nauseating but also insanely compelling and futuristic. I think we're all going to want one of these in our house someday whether you're shooting bad guys in Half Life 2 or going for a virtual walk on the beach. One of the weirder things is that I'm actually aiming with my face using the Oculus Rift so I don't necessarily feel like that's the best way to do this but for now it works pretty well even if it gives me a little bit of a tingly feeling. Once you're inside it I really have no idea which direction I'm actually facing in the real world. I feel like I'm totally jacked in. It's super immersive and I really don't know which way is up or down. I'm just kind of walking in this virtual space. The Virtuix Omni will be available this coming May for around $499. It won't come with the Oculus Rift however which is a really big part of the experience.
