The back plate sensor is for sensing the direction you are facing. This is why you can run forward while looking sideways using the treadmill. I feel like this is one of the biggest benefits that people often overlook.
Ahh, that makes sense. I was confused why it had to be charged in this iteration of the treadmill but not in the previous model.
@Austin the Augustan VR I think they could make it much smaller by putting 12 mouse balls on each shoe and now you don't need that giant floor
@@BOREDANDWELLBORED I'm sorry I may not understand you correctly.
But wouldn't you still need the metal frame to keep yourself rooted in one place whilst spinning around and such in that scenario. So wouldn't you still need as big a surface area with a bowl to keep you in one spot and stable enough to not fall over harnas and all?
@Drag0nvil you need a harness like the ones holding a punching bag but that's it. You use the floor in your room. I think 4 large balls on each shoe will do it, like a "omnidirectional" roller skate. I actually messaged meta VR for this idea, I'd like the VR world to take off but that will NEVER happen unless they change the screen. The eye goggles gives me headache, makes me vomit cuz the eyes aren't designed to look in one direction and lack oxygen. The eye muscles need to be able to look all the way up, down, and side to side & have airflow. Using the current VR for prolonged time will blind you. So they need a screen that covers your entire face so you can move point your eyes all the way up and see your forehead and the screen, side to side and down to see your mustache and the screen, like a large helmet with 4 inch gap for airflow. If they do this, it's healthy and realistic.
@@BOREDANDWELLBORED It sounds like you might like the Quest Pro. It doesn't have the best FoV but it uses a halo strap design and doesn't press against your face like goggles.
6:20 - I didn't know you could ragdoll in it as well. I'm sold.
damn the quality of small creators videos now a days is insane, great video!
Thank you!
Good to see you making videos again! Keep that steady channel growth going!
Great video! I'm not planning on buying one just yet, but knowing this tech is (finally) advancing like this onto the consumer market is good to know. Hope that next Headset releases do good by the VR industry and encourage people to buy these in masse so that they can offer a bit more affordable prices for next iterations.
Awesome video, loved the style! Thanks for the review!
Thanks for sharing! Always funny and informative!
This was a very entertaining video. Good stuff!
I’ve seen the earliest one months ago and this is a huge upgrade
I like the cinematography.
Edit: Whole video was great
Great job brother! Reminds me of you and Caleb gaming in the dorm at occ
Delightful presentation, both entertaining and edifying :>
My C2+ is still in boxes, should rectify that this weekend maybe... keeping busy~
now the real question.
does it feel like sliding or walking?
You have some of the coolest gaming equipment I've ever seen! You deserve more subs my man. I hope to see your channel reach 1K real soon. And then 2K :D
Thanks!
Wow. That thing looks good!
Pretty cool
Currently on sale for $1,099. I think that's shockingly reasonable, especially considering that the Omni (without shoes or seat) is more like $2,400. I use and like the Loco S, but it is annoying to walk into Skyrim taverns and be unable to sit down. I also find myself having to recalibrate all the time. 🙄
You said that if we’re playing with a wired headset we’re gravy baby. What do you mean by that? Wouldn’t the wire still get caught while turning ?
You say you aren't sponsored, and that even though they sent you the unit for review, you ensured that you'd be allowed to state your honest opinion. But then your description of the thing immediately following that disclaimer reads like an ad for the thing.
Just seeing this video and thought it would be by someone with like 500k Subs..... Nice Video!!
Is it compatible with psvr 2 i wanna go the next step for my first vr experience and was thinking on getting a treadmill but idk whats compatible and whats the best one to get
Good way to get in shape but if only a full scale light steel weapon was available.
Like an m4,ak,pistol or sword.
As for the shoes, can you just have a magnetic sensor ankle straps or something? Or rolling balls on the base plate?
Is it possible to support ps5 vr2 control walking and running?
Thank you for your videos!
I have two questions:
How loud is the use?
How loud is the c2 compared to the c1?
It's Moderate but not too bad. There's no notable difference between the two that I'm aware of.
Does it work for quest 2
What kind of usb extension would I need I’m looking at 25’ but does it need to be usb 3.0?
Do you know if this supports psvr2? Do I need a different device?
Very Comprehensive Video vut I can only wonder how noisy the treadmill actually is!?
Do I have to have a PC to use this with my Quest 3
WE just ordered one on black friday sale the C2 for 1099 but shipping is 350 so still came out to be pricey but we get the nexus to play oculus quest 2 with it. i didnt wanted to buy another different headset since the only game i like to play is GunRaiders. Im so excited to put this on my home office / game room. I feel like with this machine i can move better i will play better kill more efficiently since i dont have to worry about hitting the walls.
Does it need the Ethernet cable connected to the nexus or the machine? I want the connection to be fast not lagging bcuz in gunraiders the faster person is the winner.
Super excited for you! Because I don’t have a quest I haven’t been able to try the nexus yet but I am planning on getting my hands on one to test it out. Your c2 will connect via usb to the nexus. The instructions show that you do connect the nexus to Ethernet although I’m not sure how vital that is for the overall use.
With only 1.2k subs how did you manage to land one being sent to you to demo?
I love mine, but sadly I can only get SteamVR games to work. When I use AirLink or Virtual Desktop, I can’t get Oculus Home games to work with the Kat Walk.
In AirLink when I pull up the Kat Gateway software, all the hardware is responding correctly. However, when a launch any Quest Home game, only my analog stings give me motion.
Any thoughts?
Im really not sure. Ive really only used steam VR. What headset do you use?
@@AustinVR The Quest 2
@@ArlenKundert I will be able to test it on a quest soon with the Kat Nexus. Maybe that will fix the problems.
This guy is Helarious 🤣
I have one and love it. I play mostly Skyrim but i've noticed that when i walk in Skyrim that it's kind of choppy. Like every step, pause, step, pause....so not completely smooth. Do you experience this?
Ya. It really depends on the mapping settings you set it at. Im still trying to dial all that in.
@@AustinVR Curious what mapping you're using? Have you been able to make it smoother?
I tried one a bit ago and walking and running seemed really natural to me. The only thing i struggled with was strafing, but I got the hang of even that after a while.
@@robertwyatt3912 Do you happen to have the setting you used? I love Skyrim on this thing but it's still pretty choppy no matter the setting in the Katwalk software that I seem to use.
Think you will do a comparison with the Virtuix omni one?
If @VirtuixOmni will send me one to review, then absolutely!
Only a 130kg weight limit? I feel as though they haven't designed this for those of us who play games regularly.
dude 286 pounds is really generous.
Only 130kg???? Are you American
@@Paintressthat’s extremely racist and rude. Grow up
@@SgtBacalhau As an American, American isn’t a race. If you’re over 280, you need to lose weight.
@@briankeeney9272 no, its not racism, ur right, but you are being condescending and being rude to a specific nationality. Its the exact same thing as racism except its based off nationality not race. You are affirming stereotypes. Which is wrong.
i wish i had the money for this ting but bills keep getting into the way
I want it.
Can you walk whilst sitting down ?
How can i install the games to my Kat Gateway app on my headset?
What headset are you using?
best is the traveladapter. so you can take this thing anywhere you want.
What vr headset do you recommend for pc vr with this treadmill?
Valve index 1 or wait for 2
I own this, and it’s honestly not as good as it looks. It’s kinda loud, it definitely doesn’t feel natural, and crouching feels really awkward. I also find it annoying that I have to play with the settings for every game. Oh yeah, you can’t simply go from walking to running in VrChat, and most other major games. If you try to run, you’ll just go the same speed as when you were while walking, so you have to press the sprint button before you start running.
I bought this thing to feel more immersed, and in some ways I am, but the problems I mentioned earlier really break the immersion for me.
I feel the same about my Katwalk C. It's fun for games like "The Forest" and "Skyrim", but the speed mapping can be really poor. The lack of accuracy on movement kills it for me though, I can't use it for anything remotely competitive.
If the game supports sprinting with the controller, then you can sprint in game. There's an option per game in the Katwalk games menu for you to choose Push or Push and Forward or whatever the game uses with controllers. So when you run in game past a certain speed, the Katwalk will tell the game that your running and it just works. Love it.
@@justaguydoinstuff thanks! I’m gonna have to try that out!
Thats super helpful. I didnt realize that was an option.
The speed thing is the developers. If they would develop FOR the the Katwalk instead of the other way around it would be much better. But developers don't even want to develop for PCVR much less a niche of a niche. VR needs a few Killer Apps. (I don't even hear that term anymore... id it still around? I am a boomer. But in the 90's a killer app is what would sell a system. Half Life Alyx sold some but we need Rockstar to get on board but the CEO isn't buying VR is the future.
What's the cool background music called?
Dawn over Melpomene
Jamie Bathgate
Isnt it the only one available right now??
The future is now old man
Discount code not working. Guessing it doesn't stack with black Friday deal?
I’ll reach out to Kat VR and see if that’s the case.
It's working for me and during November too (near Black Friday)
is it still noisy though :v
Yaak
I wear a size 16 and they only go up to 14… this sucks
Shaq needs to start a company to support people with big feet and heavier frames.
It is cheaper than I thought. Shit now I want to spend my money on it.
Ага круто
Но ...
У нас стоит это удовольствие больше 200к руб.
И.. Рил перемещение в ВР пространстве оч трудное
I get a yearly stipend of $750 for "health products" from my company. I'm going to sell this as a treadmill and see if they reimburse me.
That's awesome!
With pc fps games getting flooded with controller aim assist, they lost their appeal. The next step is this so I'll be getting one in the near future.
"After a few hours in skyrim"
*shows videos of not skyrim*
"nothing is better than taking a seat"
*random close up of his face*
God watching this video feels like I am having a seizure lmao.
Music is too loud and annoying in your video. Couldn't continue. Mic recording also quite muffled. No offence.
Man why can't you just be serious? This would have been fun to watch if you weren't acting like a child who just discovered reddit for the entire time
I ask myself the same question sometimes, King Zedus Prime of the Tyrent Kaiju.
Maybe it’s my irrational fear of a clown asking me “why so serious?”
Somebody's salty for absolutely no reason
