A pair of VR boots was developed, which an American company claims to allow players to walk in video games' virtual reality. Ekto VR developed the device called Ecto One, the new boots with two rotating plates, which can twist to the wearer's direction.
However, the VR boots don't support players' running movement yet. VentureBeat's previous report stated that the device could be ready for consumer applications in two to four years.
Some experts currently question the product's use since many video games require players to escape dangerous scenarios and enemies' attacks. It is still unclear how the VR boots would keep up with these kinds of situations.
On the other hand, there are also different virtual reality boots that could enter the market. One of these is a pair of motion controllers and shoes, revealed by a Japanese company Cerevo in 2017, which vibrates as the user kicks or walks.
VR sensors were also used to train football players by tracking their movements, allowing them to practice targeted shots on the goal.
