London-based Roto VR has unveiled a new development in the field of virtual reality – the Explorer rotating chair. This innovative product is designed to improve the immersion experience in virtual games and applications that require a 360-degree view.
The device is designed for applications and games that require a 360-degree view in virtual space – the manufacturer claims that it has managed to solve the problem of motion sickness. Probably, the matter is that the chair’s movements are synchronized with what the user’s eyes see, and the likelihood of getting unpleasant sensations is small – they can arise due to a break in the connection between the brain and the body.
The Roto VR Explorer looks like a standard swivel chair on wheels, but it features a multi-tiered backrest and a massive base that vaguely resembles a compass. For an extra sense of immersion, the system is equipped with haptic feedback, and Roto has promised to release modular accessories for some of the more than 400 games that the system is compatible with.
Pre-orders for the Explorer are open now, with shipments set to begin in October 2024, with the current price tag being $799.
