Virtual reality devices and accessories
First Claim
1. A system for providing a virtual reality experience, comprising:
- a. a set of motorized pads for coupling to respective feet of a user; and
b. a means of communication between the set of motorized pads and a computing environment operating a virtual reality headset;
c. such that the set of motorized pads are configured to provide pressure on a user'"'"'s feet as an avatar within a virtual environment traverses the environment, andd. wherein the set of motorized pads includes a left pad and a right pad, corresponding to a user'"'"'s left foot and right foot, and wherein the set of motorized pads are configured to provide pressure on the user'"'"'s left foot as an avatar within the virtual environment steps down on the virtual environment with their left foot, and wherein the set of motorized pads are configured to provide pressure on the user'"'"'s right foot as an avatar within the virtual environment steps down on the virtual environment with their right foot, wherein a speed of providing pressure, and a force of pressure, varies depending on whether the avatar is walking or running.
