The Cybershoes booth looks like this.
The actual Cybershoes were displayed in front of the booth. Cybershoes are shaped like sandals and are slightly larger than ordinary shoes. When I took it in my hand, it was not heavier than I expected.
The back of the shoe is slippery, but there is a roller to read the movement of the foot in the center.
Cybershoes should be attached securely on the shoe. Cybershoes can be linked to
I was able to play ' The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR ' at the booth at the venue. The Elder Scrolls V: The Skyrim VR movement method was 'warp movement using the cursor' or 'advance toward the controller', but it was quite easy to get drunk with a normal controller. However, Cybershoes is characterized by actually moving their feet. If you sit on a rotating chair with the HTC Vive cable hanging up, you can walk while moving your viewpoint.
The following movie shows how to actually play Cybershoes with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR.
Cybershoes were firmly fixed, so they didn't come off. The rollers are also very smooth and do not feel particularly disturbing. However, the impression that it takes a while to wear until you get used to it.
Cybershoes also has a motion tracking function that can recognize the direction separately from the VR device, so you can walk while looking sideways or bend over and pick up things on the floor. .
Most first-person VR games have warp movement with a cursor or a unique first-person viewpoint movement. In particular, moving the cursor is less likely to cause “VR sickness”, which reduces the feeling of immersion in VR. Cybershoes actually moves your body, so the movement of the body is linked to the movement in the VR space more than the conventional system, and the feeling of immersion in the VR space is also increased. Also, it does not require a large device, so it can be used in a small room. If you can solve the problem of the cable connecting the VR device and the PC, you can run around infinitely. As a tool to hang VR device cables, the Cybershoes official suggests the use of IKEA lamp stands.
