Looks really good so far! What material is that mat made out of? Is there anyone helping you with this project?

Very impressive indeed. Would be amazing if that worked well at full sprint!

@mirage335 Faster speed is definitely planned, but I think running is very challenging, because the impact force is significant and there are safety concerns. I think a fast Walk/ Jogging speed will be great. There will be a option to scale speed in-game so you could make yourself go faster in VR.

Honestly, I’m all for safety, but this is one case where safety is not paramount.

I am not convinced speed scaling is the best approach at less than ‘superhuman’ speed. A deficiency with Onward/PavlovVR right now is the lack of precision in footstep control. It would definitely be nice to just run at full sprint.

If I have to take some extra precautions, I can get floor mats and such.
