A Journey from Simtek Omnidirectional VR Treadmill to VR Hoverboard

Simtek was known for launching the world's first belt based omnidirectional VR treadmill [https://simtekxr.com/pages/vr-treadmill] in 2023. They differentiate themselves from KAT and Omni's treadmills by choosing the household treadmill as the starting point for authentic walking simulation, aiming for easier adaptation to a wider user base. The hoverboard they are currently proposing is a brand-new locomotion solution for VR interaction.

Backed by FuninVR, a VR product manufacturer with more than 20 years of professional production experience and over 400 intellectual property patents, their products have served more than 6,000 VR arcades in over 150 countries.

Simtek VR Hoverboard [https://simtekxr.com/pages/hoverboardc] is a futuristic device inspired by the hoverboard in Back to the Future . The prototype displayed by Simtek at AWE USA attracted visitors from Meta, Sony, Apple, Xreal, and other XR-related tech giants. Users riding this device can realize omnidirectional intuitive 3D spatial movement in the virtual world through changes in their body's center of gravity, which, according to the on-site experiencer, feels like wearing a spray-painted backpack.

"We want to build an XR sports platform that connects a billion users to gamify fitness and spark connections," said Leo from Simtek. Looking ahead, Simtek plans to expand participation in its VR Esports events, making them more accessible and inclusive globally in the coming years. With more VR Esports tournaments on the horizon, Simtek is enabling players to earn cash rewards for ranking high on game leaderboards, providing an engaging and rewarding experience.

Cross-Industry Partnerships Extend Simtek's VR Technology to Diverse Applications Beyond Gaming

Apart from sports and entertainment solutions, Simtek has made numerous contributions to the industry training and education. In late September, Simtek formed a strategic partnership with a major gasoline company, which purchased 120 VR treadmills for use in their employee training programs. This partnership underscores Simtek's adaptability to diverse professional applications.
