Wii Fit is Here!

You can now buy Wii Fit in the United States. I think I will get it this weekend; it looks like a lot of fun. It has many exercise activities, and fun mini games, too.

If you don’t know what Wii Fit is, here is the ad.

Omni-Directional Treadmill

Virtual Space Devices, Inc. has developed an omni-directional treadmill (ODT).

Virtual Space Devices, Inc. has developed omni-directional treadmill (ODT) technology over the last 10 years, working primarily with the US Army. Combining the infinite plane of the ODT with an immersive virtual reality system permits an immersant to walk or run freely through the digital landscape. Navigation is transparent and natural. Immersion is total.

The ODT surface is flat and continuous. It is not a bowl or made of discrete plates. The infinite surface is motion-slaved to the user’s motion with tight control and no inertial residue. Belts that comprise the surface are substantially similar to those used in conventional treadmills.

This would be cool for virtual reality games. And a good way to get exercise!
