VR Treadmill Coming to Meta Quest 2 Standalone: Kat Walk C2 Preview

KAT VR and their highly recognizable ready player one consumer treadmill is about to introduce their new 2nd iteration to the world and if you get in early you’ll get a good bang for your buck.

As a quest 2 user my first question was will this work in standalone rather than the current pcvr setup?  And the team at kat got back to me with a promising response. Even though the quest platform has been closed off to external peripherals the team at KATVR believe they have found a way to achieve it and Quest 2 support is now in development. So fingers crossed we will soon be running and jumping in the quest version of bonelab with our actual legs.

To use the treadmill you rep a pair of custom sneakers while wearing a harness and standing on a friction less platform allowing you infinitely move about virtually in a fixed space physically. so you can run walk jump and crouch in this free locomotion supported device. 

2 new models will be up for pre-order on kickstarter the kat walk c2 and c2 plus both improve upon version one with improving latency to 10ms, a new mode for sitting and their newly designed shoes.

Embedded with an optical sensor in the sole the new kicks allow for customization for friction so you can choose your level of comfort for virtual movement. This sensor allows for a 1 to 1 mapping of any foot movement in full 360 degrees 

The new treadmills will be compatible with the quest, pc vr and playstation vr. The pro version comes with those sweet rgb lights, a haptic system that follows the haptics on your controllers and the all new and highly requested smart sitting posture system. The C2 plus can automatically detect when you are going into a seated position, locking the system in place until you later you stand up. Going further with this feature there are added vehicle simulation modes letting you feel like you’re in a heavy airplane up to a lighter weighted car.

The kickstarter campaign launches for these May 13th with an early bird price of $698 plus shipping and handling.  If you had one of these what's the first game you are playing with it? Me? I’m goin super hot so I can matrix my way to another part of a level. Hit the comments and I’ll see ya in the next quickie.
