Platform for virtual reality movement
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor;
a storage medium coupled to the processor and that stores instructions executable by the processor;
a first platform that has a top surface that is substantially planar and that is configured to rotate and support a user;
one or more handrails attached to the first platform and including a controller;
when the processor executes the instructions, the system;
provides first images to a user;
determines a rotation of a head of the user;
provides second images, based at least on the rotation of the head of the user, to the user; and
rotates the first platform in accordance with the rotation of the head of the user.

Abstract
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may provide first images to a user; determine a rotation of a head of the user; provide second images, based at least on the rotation, to the user; and rotate a platform in accordance with the rotation. In one example, the platform may include a movement belt, and one or more of a walking movement and a running movement of the user may be determine via the movement belt. In another example, one or more optical sensors may be utilized to determine movements of the user. In one or more embodiments, determining the rotation of the head of the user may include utilizing one or more of a gyroscope and an accelerometer of a head mounted display, worn by the user. For example, the head mounted display may provide images of a virtual reality environment to the user.
