While looking for a project to build in order to gain experience with Arduino programming, I came across a KickStarter page for the VRGO mini, a controller you operate by leaning your body in the chosen direction (thus freeing your hands).
This is very handy for VR, since using a keyboard, mouse or joystick can be challenging with your vision blocked by a VR headset. Not to mention that your hands are probably already holding the tracked motion controllers.
With the KickStarter closed, the VRGO mini is still available for pre-order on Indiegogo, but the price is R3,198 .
So, perfect for DIY...
Decided to cal the DIY version the BUTTER
(Also decided that the bluetooth connection and haptic feedback was not really essential for a DIY/prototype build)
VRGO Mini - Move around VR worlds like never before
The VRGO Mini is a smart device that helps you roam virtual worlds by simply tilting in the direction you want to travel.
