Virtual reality is undoubtedly the coolest game method at present. Players are not limited to monitors or televisions, but are immersed in a realistic virtual world. The game modes are mostly somatosensory and dynamic. They are very interesting. However, due to the fact that the eyes are completely covered by the head, it may lead to misalignment. In addition to the fact that a bunch of cables between the head and the PC is worn, the worst case is that it hits a computer and there is a certain security risk. So what's the solution?
Proximat is a VR pad, but the principle is very simple: through a rubber circular pad, let players know their position in the game and avoid excessive deviation. Although the form of Proximat is simple and actually studied, the developers found that the diameters of 60 cm and 91 cm are the most suitable for the active area of ​​current VR games, and players are basically safe in this range of activities.
In terms of materials, Proximat chose a hard rubber with a certain level of grip. It is suitable for use on floor tiles and floors, with little deviation. In addition, proper thickness, easy cleaning, and storage are also its advantages. Basically, it can be considered as a “yoga mat†dedicated to virtual reality games.
Although Proximat does not have much high-tech core technology, the product concept is still very good, especially in the increasingly popular virtual reality. Currently, it has applied for a patent and landed on Kickstarter for crowdfunding. If all goes well, it will be listed in November this year. The retail price is 50 US dollars (about 334 yuan).
