Releasing Virtual Reality technology from cables and USB or any other extras, Roto VR promises a comfy game experience to users.
Virtual Reality takes our gaming experinece into a different level however, there may be some accidents that interrupt such as VR headset’s falling or cables tangling. Roto’s Virtual Reality chair save users from these and puts movement capacity to its maximum.
There are many VR headsets in the market currently and they all need extensions like HDMI, USB or Audio. These extension may sometimes cause trouble for the gamers while they are moving. Designed to work with all the major head-mounted displays (HMDs), such as PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Samsung Gear VR, a small device stored in the armrest is removed and clipped onto a headsets strap, enabling the chair to move when users turn their heads. It’ll also spin when required through gameplay input. Receiving ‘The Best Product’ award at VR&AR Expo held in October 2016 in London, Roto is now sold in discounted price. It is sold for 999.99 dollars with all the accessories such as VR headset and wheels.
The chair is compatible with all sorts of game accessories like racing wheels, HOTAS and external controllers. An area in which it shines though, is its capability to simulate walking. Roto VR Founder Elliot Myers said thusly; “We wanted to create a product that will add value to VR experience. We also wanted natural de-coupled traversal in VR, so we can look in one direction,aim in another, face another, all independently. The dream of naturally moving around (whilst comfortalby seated) is only possible if you can track where the user is facing, which Roto manages inside the base. So no clunky wearable technology”
