The cheapest VR treadmill?! NEW KAT WALK C2 CORE // First impressions

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2024
- You can check out Kat VR & their available devices here: www.kat-vr.com... PLUS take $40 off with code Beardo$40. Introducing the brand new VR treadmill from Kat VR, the C2 Core, this is the cheapest VR treadmill that Kat VR have ever made and they haven't compromised when it comes to quality and compatibility to hit that new record low price point! Kat VR sent me this C2 Core review unit and asked for my honest opinions, after using it for a few days I've compiled an initial list of pros and cons for this more "affordable" VR treadmill - . At $899 (the initial pre-release price, it rises to $999 after 15th September) this thing is a steal for the most dedicated VR users, enthusiasts who want to be as immersed as physically possible in their digital worlds will no doubt be impressed with the Kat Walk C2 Core's build quality, suite of features, compatibility, modular options and the full body workout this VR treadmill provides but for the more casual VR user this is still a hard sell even at the new price point. Just how often would a typical VR user play a game in this way? Would most users have the space to house such a device all year round? Do the casual audience want to build up a sweat whilst exploring Skyrim? It all boils down to what kind of VR user you are, but if you're looking for the most high intensity full body experience from your VR games and want a quality product for the lowest price to date (albeit still not a "cheap" price) then the C2 Core is a very interesting proposition indeed.

Wishing you many more exciting moments with our product, and we eagerly await more insights from you in the future! Thank you once again!
Hey i'm interested in this, one question, any idea how compatible will this be with UEVR mod, or at least, are you considering a solid profile for it? Because if I can walk around on hundreds of UE4/UE5 games when the mod releases, I would seriously consider getting this. Also does this work with VORPX?
@@ViniViVinsi
What? I don't have VR games or something like that... :(
@@ViniViVinsi
Sorry...
Is this not out yet? Or has it already sold out? I attempted to order after seeing this but couldn’t.
@@Cameronfournier Hey, thank you for your interest! C2 Core will go live on our website on August 1 ^^
Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod would be an insane experience. Being able to run around Night City and also seamlessly jump into a car and technically sit and drive all at once would be an insane experience.
This is all I want in life!
I have a C2 and got it instead of going to the gym. The bonus of no more VR sickness for me but really my wife who could not play VR at all before has been amazing. Skyrim and Fallout are HUGE when you are actually walking or running around. As the wife said, what is the cost of living healthy and working out when it doesn't feel like work. Do I sweat. Oh yeah. But its fun. Finally not needing so much room is great. Always in the back of my mind I was afraid of punching something. Now I can relax and even though its taking up less room, I feel like I gained so much more. Kat VR is a game changer for me.
I wanted to get it for this
Stop making me want to get it
I have a C2. It's game changing, and I don't do VR without it anymore. That's also part of the reason that I rarely do VR these days. As mentioned, the setup takes longer than standalone. It also adds one more element of troubleshooting at times, which I am just 100% burned out on when it comes to PCVR.
Truth be told, VR was at its best for me before I bought a $4k PC. Quest 2 standalone with modded contractors was perfect. Running around in real life to move in VR in games like Skyrim, Doom VFR, and Borderlands 2 VR has been incredible, and probably exceeded the fun of standalone, but at a higher financial cost and for more stress.
That’s awesome. I just ordered my c2. Can’t wait to get it
ngl you jus changed my whole perspective. ima prolly jus touch grass instead
@@bhumelti636 Basically if you just want to have fun and game, I'd go with standalone. You can get a Kat Nexus that allows you to do kat walk + standalone, and that's probably going to add lots of fun and immersion with little troubleshooting stress.
Adding a PC into the equation opens the doors for way more possibilities, but also tons of troubleshooting and stress, especially in the beginning
@@vicapple6663 pc is amazing but it took me 2 months to get my quest working on mine. i don’t regret it pc is top tier but im definitely going to hold out on the immersion gadgets for now and wait until the future catches up so i could get a better kat for $500 . the only purchase i’m really considering rn is the pimax crystal bc it could run steam standalone. hopefully that means i won’t need to get a beefy pc upgrade
Beardo Benjo was talking about setting this up and then putting it into storage after. This sounds very impractical if you have this thing. You really have to have permanent dedicated space for this to be worth it. I have the original Katwalk C, I leave it where it is and leave it plugged in and all set up. I don't have many problems at all getting it working.
If I tried running games in Vorpx, then I'd be having problems. The two frequently conflict. Running native VR games, I don't have any problems.
Glad to see Katwalk making another innovation, still rocking the original Katwalk c and love it.
Fun fact, it’s about a 3 day 63 mile travel from white run to solitude on the Katwalk, enjoy!
Side note - take some old trainers and hot glue felt to the bottom of them, it’s easier all around to walk than any shoes that Katwalk has on offer and quieter.
I love the trainer hack, thank you!!
The free solution is to disable the right thumbstick for looking and use your body to actually move…you will look ridiculous spinning around but it gets rid of the motion sickness
I've really been on the fence for a while with this. Not because I doubt the quality but it's just such a large financial commitment for me. This pretty much answered all my questions & doubts. Thanks for an informative video
I'd rather wait for something that isn't slide based. I've seen a mock up of a concept involving an exoskeleton and what looks like one of those car building arms. The idea being that it would suspend you and act as both treadmill and full body force feedback. It was purposed with a full body haptic suit. A kinda all-in-one ultimate vr rig. I'm hoping for something like that.
I'd imagine that technology like "nextmind" that is able to read electrical impulses aka mind controlled movement is the future. It is so much more favorable to having a huge device in your room and a lot cheaper, too.
@@privileguan9127depends on what you want the tech for. I would prefer the "treadmill" since I don't want to be a fat gamer. Getting a workout while gaming is great.
Sounds expensive.
@@privileguan9127sure, but I personally want the exercise aspect of it
Where on earth would you put such a massive piece of equipment though. What you descibed would require a literal high ceiling garage type place for something that could suspend a human in the air like that.
Can you do an update on this? Curious how it was in the summer & after 3 month
To see both yourself and herself using this is exciting enough for me to take it seriously enough, intriguing.. ☘
I've seen so many youtubers say good things about these and then you never see them on it again.
When you take in to account a normal treadmill is about the same price and the fitness you get from this will be so much fun.
Can you actually jump on it... Sorry was my first thought! Totally amazing to see such an in-depth example of it's use.
Hi there! Thanks for your question, jumping is supported on our device as long as you are not taller than 195 cm (6'5") 😄
Kat Walk c2+ user here. Takes me an additional 1-2 minutes to load into VR with this, so not much of an inconvenience from that point of view. I would recommend the Kat Loco S trackers if the price is too much. Those allow you to "walk in place" to produce the locomotion experience. They are only about 150-200 us dollars. Almost the same immersion level. Just a different mechanic.
I just ordered mine. Hasn’t shipped. I wonder if the c2+ is better than this new core
@@VistaLargaGames Yes, C2+ has haptics and the seat, which are not on the core
@@janfurmanek1448 so the core is just a c1? Lol
@@VistaLargaGames It's a cheaper C2 Standard
@@janfurmanek1448 yes I just got word from Katwalk them selves. They emailed me to confirm my order. I said “send it ASAP!” Lol .
Ive defo had my eyes on one of these ! Thank you for the review and input !
No worries at all, cheers for watching
I think the main challenge of these devices is that you are essentially replacing 3dof absolute position of roomscale VR with 3dof relative movement. While for many games, having relative movement is more useful, you do lose the very intuitive, 1:1 translation of absolute position, like small sidestepping, or moving precisely against a wall to hide behind the corner. The treadmill might actually make games with decent roomscale interactions (like many puzzle games) less intuitive to play. The difficulty of the VR mobility problem is that replicating full 6dof of motion seems physically impossible.
Would love to try it before buying it. One more con is the sweat. As you move i is likely that the lenses in you headset will get steamy pretty often and pretty fast.
"I have a pallet for you" got me laughing. This looks pretty sweet though!
When he told me that it got me crying, I was like "where the hell am I putting a pallet?!?"
@@BeardoBenjo "Let me just show you to my warehouse." 😂
I have been keeping an eye on the catwalk for a while it’s nice to see that they have been able to bring the cost down. I will most likely have one in the future but I’m excited to see where it’s development goes
I have the original Katwalk C and it's amazing. For me it's primarily a fitness device and entertainment second. That said, the Serious Sam games are done SO WELL. In-game, you're going at a constant sprint and the movement decoupling (where you move & where you look are different) feels so natural. My best experience with the Katwalk C is those games. I've had other good experiences with Contagion VR and with the Luke Ross GTA V mod.
My bad experiences have been with Vorpx. Not due to Katwalk C not working well (it very much does) but poor performance/optimization which you very much need if your headset is bouncing around a lot.
@@LotsOfBologna2 Thanks for sharing your positive experience with the C! Hearing back from our supporters about their amazing adventures on our devices is the most motivating thing in the world ^^
@@A-OKski No. I have to use it with a gamepad. So I've had to be on the treadmill with a gamepad. Smooth locomotion simply means you go forward and backward like normal. You don't have that jump-movement that used to be popular a number of years ago. There is an option to have Katwalk C motion read as WASD input on the keyboard (actually just W). I might have used that. Regardless I did get the Katwalk to work. I just couldn't get any functionality with the Index controllers.
Question. I’m just now getting into gaming and bought the oculus quest 3. If I buy this do I have to have a like computer as well? I can’t just use my oculus I’m guessing and set this up? I have an updated iPad and was wondering if this would be enough for setup if I do need something like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you Benjo, i am in the process of starting a VR Lounge for a small community with no entertainment for families. I have seen this company for a long time and needed a true and honest review. Thank you again! Great Review
Ah man that sounds amazing!!! Good luck with the venture, I hope the community love it
I am really happy about a less expensive VR treadmill!
Great video, with a lot of information.
For the sound for recording you can try nVidia Broadcast noise canceling for the mic, it might help.
it's actually what I am using for recording and, actually, when I am playing in multiplayer... without it you have to mute your mic or you will be kicked out from the lobby
I would love to have one of these, but like a full racing setup with chair and wheel I just don't have enough space for it.
I had to pack away my racing setup to fit this in my room and now I wanna play some Gran Turismo lol
@@BeardoBenjo At least you have space for one of them at a time!
Btw great video BB, hope to see you play through some games on this thing. Skyrim 24 hour marathon when? :D
Excellent product review, kept me interested throughout, nice one.
Thank you, really happy with how this one came out, lots of work to get it right =)
@@BeardoBenjo Great job!
I just purchased mine. Cannot wait for more immersion and actually feel like im walking in the game, like you said its liberating to being able to ACTUALLY move in the game you are playing on. I kind of took a hiatus because it was daunting standing on my feet for hours on end and it just wasnt the same. Any games you would recommend? Im already going to replay through boneworks, half life, re4, skyrim and fallout, but what are some of your favorites youd recommend? Always love the insightful information you always give in your videos 😊
I will 100% buy one even if its not a good one i want to try one
Would make more sense to me to use public spaces like sporthalls on evenings just like regular sports do and set them up for people to bring their vr headsets with them and play. I would love to meet with other nerds on evenings playing beatsaber and games with more movement. Would be nice for friends who want to try or talk about experiences with other vr users as well.
Looks perfect for death stranding
Great video dude! Been wanting a Kat Walk for a long time now, only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger is of course the price (although $900 is more palatable), but mostly the space it takes up! I live in a pretty small apartment and while I'm lucky enough to have my own separate computer office, I've got just enough room for regular roomscale VR. I could plop a treadmill in the center of that place space and it would fit perfect (albeit be pretty in the way haha), but then I wouldn't have any room for regular roomscale. Even though I think I'd use it enough to not just be a gimmick, the trade-off of losing my regular roomscale play area doesn't work for me. Anyway, really cool to hear your thoughts, thanks for the honest review man! Lookin forward to more VR treadmill vids in the future 👍
That's my conundrum, I'm lucky enough to have a dedicated office space but the office itself isn't massive, I can have one or the other (roomscale OR the treadmill - not both lol)!
Loved the video. I would watch you play VR on this :)
Thank you, I've got a couple other videos coming soon, one showing some pure gameplay and another testing how it works with Quest 2 natively

Holodeck achieved.
OMG that looks FUN!!!
Treadmill is cool. More interested inn the guitar models on the wall??
How well does it work for sidestepping/footwork when swordfighting? I love the idea of moving around freely in a big space, I'm wondering how well this translates
I've wanted one for so long, maybe in future iterations, they'll have better software solutions that make it more plug and play. Use cases more than likely depend on the app or game, like I wouldn't jump on this for beat saber or more traditional workout apps, but single player experiences and some multiplayer titles would be awesome with this
Lol I literally just saw an ad for this thing for the first time and now I want one to play the walking dead 😂😂
You got it, you got the virtual treadmill! Good for you and also, you give publicity to this fantastic device. It's still relatively expensive, but it's worth buying... but still, I know that better and even more intuitive, practical and flexible virtual machines/treadmills will be created in the future. I hope you really have fun with Kat VR.
There's better everything coming, always, so we should just never get anything? Some of us want something now, not waiting half a decade with nothing.
Cool, thanks for the great review！
My pleasure!
Excellent breakdown! I hadn't thought about the noise levels either. I really do want one of these, but it's definitely a "I want it" and not a "I need it".
Glad it was helpful!
If they find a way to make to less noisy I would use it all the time. Also do the shoes work as trackers?
i really want this tbh. i think it would actually help me exercise a lot more, which is half the reason i want this. but yeah, the price and the lengthy setup are kind of deal breakers for me right now. also the fact they don't even ship it my way.
I don’t think it’ll be a big problem for me to set up games cause if I just setup all the games I’ll play with it then I don’t have to worry about setting up more so I think I’d love it
You can easily gamify working out at the gym by hitting new PRs, getting better form and decreasing those “aches” that you think are normal
I’d love to use this daily when I play vr if possible. Especially if it’s more peaceful and relaxing. I’ll be buying one eventually after I grab a pc.
Hey so how hard is it to get quest games an such to work with the kat walk? I saw a response from and employee of omni about the kat Nexus or whatever.
He said "I realize KAT claims their treadmill is compatible with Quest via Nexus, but that barely works. You need to create a Meta developer account (become a "Meta developer"), then fiddle with a bunch of settings, and then the games are still not optimized for KAT."
Is this true was it complicated and hard to get quest games to work and then did they not work well?
Can you strafe on this medieval torture contraption?
You can indeed 😂
I found the Nvidia Broadcast AI software to be very impressive in muting/cancelling out unwanted noises. My friends cant even hear a fan at full blast next to my mic with it on and it works with VR desktop too. Might be an audio option worth trying if you're still looking for a solution
Good review. Fun watching your partner enjoy it too! You should make more duo videos.
I'd love to do that, she's not super keen on VR though so finding games is a challenge
This may be a little late, but because the quest is a standalone, can you connect it to the kat walk and let it charge that way, or do you have to charge it once you are done using it?
If you use nexus with it
I can see people kicking the back of their feet with this. When we walk, our feet don't merge completely to the center of our pelvis like I see here. That's not something you can unlearn, it's because of the concave form of the surface you have to walk on.
I work out almost every day and am quite fit already, but every extra bit helps! Still not sure I can justify the price but glad to see it's going down, and certainly don't have the space right now, but I WILL be getting something like this at some point guaranteed, if I had the space I probably already would. Paired with the next gen of headsets and their visual clarity it will be a fantastic upgrade to the experience
good review. everything looks fine to me, except a few big problems... the cons yeah lol. but they just need to be fixed :(
Worst one being the foot delay, which could just be part of the game, the games will have to adapt to programming for things like this one day to be less of a gimmick and more of a feature.
and that was extremely loud.
size doesn't matter, I find that a small one is potentially less foot reach, having to do smaller foot steps or something.. maybe they can come S and L.
and yeah the fact it's more of a "cool want" than a "must need" .. even with 1k.. those flaws especially delay are really bad. I avoid games with delay, and VR needs more potential games.. I see myself trying this more with Skyrim and RE4 mostly..
What about leaning? I like military shooters. I want to be able to lay down too and lean from corners. For the price it is more for experimental use. Like you said some steps are not accurate. So that means games need to make those things more compatible.
I'm looking at the KAT Loco S Walk-On-Spot VR locomotion system. As it's more affordable. I hope to get the kat walk later on.
would love to go for a run in skyrim or something, but you will most likely end up super dizzy if u do it for long enough. Something i would consider a con, would be the small walking surface, as if u run, you might think you would fall off or something, i would do 10cm wider all around, but i havent tried it so not sure. Im assuming its like learning to run again sense you cant really take large steps.
As soon as you don’t have to buy their shoes and you can somehow use your own running shoes that’s when I’m gonna purchase it
Thanks for your honest review! The loud usage noice issue was being raised since Kat Walk C and it is still no slight improvement. Seems KatVR won't has solution to noise issue.
Also, did you try "sprinting" with this C2 Core? Want to see how it works (if works). Thanks!
I haven't committed to a full sprint yet haha, I've done a couple of slight jogs and the thing that bugs me most is that my actual speed doesn't seem to translate to the game (which makes sense I guess)
Can’t wait for another preydog resi play through stream with this treadmill…. Running from jack in bio hazard gonna be epic
You read my mind...
Mine ended up being a nightmare. It never worked right, the software crashes were un ending. And than to top it all off after one bad crash my pc only boots to the bios screen now. They have no help desk number, just a skype, wecht and an email. And you can only return in orignal packageing.
The health and fitness aspect can't be over stated. Plus I don't mind f'ing about for a while getting it all set up if I'm going to immersed in my favourite game for hours (Skyrim). Umm, so now to find a grand from somewhere.... ;)
Thanks for the info on this. I'm probably in the category you mention, would like one but can think of too many other things that I could spend that kind of money on that would get a LOT more use.
I’ll wait until the base is more like a pad or rug, that should make the space required and storing easier. Price point isn’t was bothers me.
Nice one Ben!
The price of the tech isn't the most expensive thing about VR, the cost of housing to get a place with enough spare room necessary for full VR playspace is the biggest hurdle if you ask me.
How would you rate the back support that's supposed to be holding you in place? From the video, it looks rather unstable, and I'd worry that putting too much weight on it would cause something to snap.
I like the idea i don't have a massive flat and find my self running into walls but my bedroom has built in storage so they would be more than enough space for one of these
for fitness focused vr gamers with space, it looks great! im tempted
The fitness aspect is probably the biggest selling point, the more I think about it the more I think that's how they should market it
@@BeardoBenjo yeah exactly, get the ramblers association involved and they can party across skyrim without fear of pissing off any farmers...just the odd wolf/bear/bandit or undead instead
See I would totally invest in one of these if every game and set had a way of implementing the games motion with you walking on the platform. Unfortunately this is the first time I’ve seen someone able to move their character by acting moving like you explained with the resident evil mod. Very cool but most videos I’ve seen people are just saying how you still have to use the directional stick which defeats the whole purpose and reallly kills the immersion and makes it hard to justify that price point. Hopefully VR continues to become more popular and companies start implementing this kind of hardware with their motion controls
New iPhone Is like $1300 so idk if this is necessarily expensive
I take it you can't actually play any of those fitness apps like Les Mills, Supernatural, or even rhythm games like synth Riders or Beat Saber. I know thats not what this is made for technically but I have already made my space for VR and if I bring one of these home, thats going to be my space.... So my question is can I still use it perhaps hop on and use the space as my platform for these games?
Resident Evil 2 VR with this. NOW I am interested.
I would shit my pants going around Alien: Isolation like this 😅
It's amazing for room scale games and I would like to buy this one. Loud noises can be annoying but still it's cool
I hadn't thought of roomscale games, I wonder if this would work for something like Eye of the Temple...
Great video, was very curious what your thoughts would be on this.
I like my Cybershoes and this would be the logical step (see what I did? XP) forward. I love that I can burn 200 calories with the Cybershoes in about 2 hours while playing and compared to this it's very easy to set up and remove it, and immersion is surprisingly good. This would be even more immersive though, and the price is close to being right. I don't mind much weight or space, but my biggest issue is game compatibility, how ready is this to be played with any steamvr game out there, it's just plug and play?
Pretty much yeah, so jumping between Skyrim, Compound, Half Life and Resi for this one video I just needed recalibrate each time I switched game, recalibrating is done with the press of one button inside the headset when you're in a new game. The Kat VR software adds a button to the Steam VR menu inside the headset, you just click that and then press calibrate.
@@BeardoBenjo that sounds great, thanks for the reply.
I’d love something like this, but I think I’d wait for the tech to be developed further and become more affordable.
I like to rearrange my living room to give myself as much space as possible when I play VR, it’s infinitely more immersive and puts into perspective just how massive videogame worlds really are. The only downside to doing it this way is repeatedly having to turn around (irl) while turning in the opposite direction (in game) to continue walking in a straight like, which can get quite dizzying, and not being able to jog/run out of fear of running into a wall.
skyrim VR and a KAT walk is amazing!!! just keep in mind that it is a workout. be prepared.
I wasn't prepared...
Would love a follow up video when the presale is close to ending, summarizing how much you actually ended up using it. I've wanted a VR treadmill for a while, but I do fear I won't use it enough.
One more question, does it adjust the game's maximum running speed somehow, or are you limited to what your character can do in game? Like, if I run at 80% of how fast I can run, will I notice if I turn on the jets and go to 100% for a minute, or would I just be wasting energy while my character moves only as fast as the game will allow? (put another way, could a track star run across skyrim faster than someone who just has enough cardio to run across skyrim but isn't fast?)
I have the original Katwalk C. It's only as fast as the game will allow. It inputs the motion as full forward on the controller or as pressing W on the keyboard (for WASD motion) and just puts the speed at normal movement within the game.
I see this as fitness equipment, not gaming equipment. But being a 38 year old guy wanting to get in better shape, my needs may be different than a 20 year old athlete. I think there's settings you can adjust to force you to move more in order to have it register.
Some things to keep in mind that he didn't mention. Not all FPS are equal in terms of getting you to move a lot and have a good exercise experience. A lot of games sound like they should keep you moving and get you good exercise but in reality, you're shooting from cover and being way too stationary during fights (Titanfall 2). Others (like Into The Radius) don't have the movement as polished as I'd like. You can't do effective freelooking while running during a fight. My hands down favorites have been the Serious Sam series (1-3) which are so much fun and such a good experience. You need to keep moving CONSTANTLY and you're always at a full sprint in-game and it's so exhilarating.
Secondly, you should pay attention to frames per second and overdo the performance requirements. I have a 3070ti and I'm not having much success with flat-to-VR games. As soon as you start running and your headset is bouncing up and down, games that would be fine otherwise look like crap. For me, this was Far Cry Primal running on Vorpx. I'm hoping the Praydog mod allows flat-to-VR games to work well for the Katwalk C but that remains to be seen.
Yeah only as fast as the game will allow, that's something I hadn't really considered and will be talking about in follow up videos, it does feel a tad strange at first when your actual speed isn't mirrored in game due to the in game movement speed restrictions. You learn to adapt to it and move slower in real life to match the pace in game but still, I'd love to be able to go full sprint in any game and move that fast but it would have to overwrite core elements of each games code 😂
Regarding ps vr2 for campaigns I.e (re series/Skyrim) and multiplayer (sierra,pavlov,ect) is it compatible and ideal for tactical point of views (I.e) airsoft paintball movement/tactical approaches?
It isn't compatible right now with PSVR 2 but I've had confirmation that they're currently working on it, the older models worked with PSVR 1 so I'm confident we'll see it working with 2 fairly soon
@@BeardoBenjo I live in a very toxic area: hence why I bought ps vr 2; reallying looking forward and hope it’s compatible
Ive had a KAT VR c2+ since it came out and still can't get it to work CAN ANYONE HELP ME AS KAT HAS BEEN USELESS?
I'd appreciate a reply as there is little info available as far as weight limits go. I weigh about 370 lbs. What is the treadmill rated for and is there significant risk of damage if the user is over its maximum? I've been looking to vr solutions for weightloss and I've been researching treadmills like these.
Hey bud, according to my contacts at Kat VR the weight limit is around 130KG or 286LBs, as far as significant risk of damage or injury I'm really not sure, when you walk on these you effectively have to trust the harness and back support structure to hold your entire weight as you lean forward into every step (feels really weird at first), so I guess the real danger would be that component breaking and the user falling flat on their face potentially. It's a tough one, I don't know personally how stress tested they are for these scenarios and how much give they have in their "limits". Personally I'd say reach out to Kat VR, they have a chat bot on their website that hands out a contact email address Service@katvr.com, hit them up as I'm confident they'll get back to you with all the info you need
@@BeardoBenjo hey! Thanks much. I'm subscribing!
Great video! Learned alot on it!
Great sum up and honest review. I love the idea but functionally nowhere to put it and the cost is still very high.
im disabled and cannot play standing ro roomscale vr at all without falling alot badly i have zero ballance and degenerative nervouse system this looks like with the way youare attached to it that it may protect me from falling what do you think?
Been waiting for something like this for a while. Shame I just LOST MY JOB!
Fuck, sorry to hear that 😫
does this work with stand-alone Onward VR on Oculus Quest 2?
How are you so lucky to try it out? What can I'm not that lucky? I'm just jealous.
can someone tell me if it comes with that mat underneath it, or is that something you have to buy separate?
Does the choice of the headset matter when you have motion sickness?
Jeez. What are using to mod Skyrim and what mods? Looks great
Hello. Can you compare size of c2core and C2?
Especially footprint.
Please 🙏
I'd love to but I don't have a C2 for comparison, when the C2 Core goes live on the Kat VR website (tomorrow) they should have dimensions and size listings as well =)
If you record with this using pc mic input you could use RTX Voice which uses AI to filter out background noise
seems an odd compromise - play with a wireless headset, yet strap yourself to a pole and now become unable to crouch or strafe. how does it even handle if the user has to jump?
There is a jump setting but damn I haven't been brave enough to try it yet...
Bayside Tattoo Spotted!
When its 300 bucks, i will think about it.
See ya in 2040.
Just purchased one, waiting for it to be delivered (even won one fo the free quest 3s), and i have a few questions. How fast can you move? I noticed all you steps look very slow and sluggish even for high speed games. Can you walk at a standard pace/faster or are you stuck with the slow and heavy steps. Second, how low can you crouch? are you able to get down to your knees on this one or and you still stuck with a sort of half crouch like the older models.
Perfect review.
Thank you
Can you walk backwards? You didn't seem to test that aspect...
Thanks for the video! I am now planning to get one! And when I do I’ll use your code if still available😊
If I do end up getting one It’ll probably be within two months. Gotta save up lol
It is probably still too expensive for me, but I am glad the price is going down. At this point, you will be able to get the Q3 and this treadmill for cheaper than the Apple Reality. I currently walk in space while playing Skyrim so one day I would love to have a treadmill, but it is still a little out of reach.
Damn Quest 3 and a treadmill for cheaper than Apple Vision Pro... That is quite the statement, hadn't thought about it that way
