Sit and navigate
HoboLoco controllers are styled like a “hoverboard” without wheels. The device is placed on the floor in front of a seated user so they can rest one foot on each footplate in the neutral position. The device employs a unique scheme of navigation control that requires little effort to move your avatar in any direction. Haptic feedback is embedded in the foot plates. Standard HID protocols (keyboard & mouse or gamepad) enable communication over USB or Bluetooth. Users and developers are able to customize the operation of the device for various games. Imagine you’ve slipped on a Virtual Reality headset, and now you’re standing in Paris in the Place de la Concorde – virtually. Would you like to stroll down the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe? Or maybe you're a fireman in training, rushing into a simulated building that's on fire to save virtual lives. If you have the luxury of an omnidirectional treadmill, you can just start walking or running. If not, your options for movement are to teleport, march in place, slide your feet in a dish, swing your arms, or push thumb sticks on hand controllers. But don't sweat, we're bringing you a new way to move! Even while seated!
