context_page_description: The Virtuix Omni is an omnidirectional treadmill simulator for virtual reality games and other applications. It uses a platform to simulate locomotion i.e. the motion of walking, requiring both special shoes or shoe covers and a surface that reduces friction. It works in conjunction with the HTC Vive, and allows a vive user to walk within a limited number of games.
  In 2013, the Virtuix Omni became one of the ten biggest technology Kickstarter campaigns, raising $1.1 million in funding. Since then, Virtuix has raised another $20 million from private and institutional investors.
  Although originally slated to be released in January 2014, production of the Omni only began in November 2015.
  Kickstarter backers began receiving their orders during the third week of January 2017.
  As of mid-2017 the company no longer offers the Omni to consumers, instead opting for a commercial-only business model. Virtuix has shipped more than 3,000 Omni systems to date to over 500 commercial locations
