The Virtual Theatre and the Omnidirectional treadmill

The hardware link between the Live and Virtual domains

---

Literally step into and explore the virtual environment without restrictions from boundaries within the real world.

​

The Virtual Theatre system facilitates omnidirectional unrestricted walking in the infinite virtual environment, within a finite real world footprint. With physical and potentially psychological strain, the training effect is raised.

 

​

Based on the revolutionary invention of the omnidirectional floor, training, education and sciences can now benefit from a natural interface where unlimited physical movement in any direction is possible. The increased immersion means that a giant leap towards convergence of the real and the virtual world has been taken.

​

​A complete training system to immerse the user into the virtual environment

The Virtual Theatre from MSE is based on the omnidirectional floor. It may be configured with optional ad-ons, such as a the following:

- Visual (360 degrees seamless projection

- Audio (surround sound system)

- Motion (platform for Z, pitch, roll and vibration)

- Thermal (heating and cooling)

- Wind, smoke, flash, heat radiation

- Body tracking (unlimited number of positions/segments with highest accuracy)

- Weapons interface

​

Shown to the public at ITEC 2011 for the first time, the Virtual Theatre made great success.

​

A whole range of applications

The Virtual Theatre is designed to be integrated in any application, with open interfaces. Application examples of the low-cost, modular and scaleable system are:

- Small arms trainers

- Dismounted infantry groups

- FAC trainers

- Firefighting trainers

- Escape and evacuation

- Hi-end gaming

- Human factors research and much, much more
