Bring it on! The next generation of video consoles moves from the WiiFit to omni-directional floors – cool!
There’s also a bunch of other solutions that have been developed including:
The Circula Floor
An Omni-directional Treadmill

wow i think that is really cool, the next generation of video games!
Yeah, they just need to build one that can fit through the front door and they'll be sorted!
