Cybershoes for Quest is a set of strap-in accessories that allow users to move more naturally in endless virtual reality settings. The shoes, which are secured over the feet, track foot motion and translate it into in-game coordinates, allowing users to feel like they're walking or running within virtual reality environments. Used while seated, the Cybershoes for Quest have a roller built into the apparatus to facilitate smooth movement over the floor. The virtual reality accessory aims to alleviate and perhaps eliminate motion sickness through the in-game integration of physical activity.
Cybershoes for Quest is a result of successful campaigns on both Kickstarter and IndieGoGo. Consumers can purchase a pair through the IndieGoGo site until May 10th, 2021. Cybershoes for Quest will begin shipping sometime in May and will be available through Amazon US soon.
