Note: This is a work in progress
The vr-shoe is a "shoe" or platform that straps to each of your feet. The shoes function like a treadmill where as you walk you stay i the same location. With a treadmill you can only walk forward and backward, but with the vr shoes you can turn, walk, and strafe in any direction.
The the vr shoes, along with a vr headset and saftey harness, are intended to be used while playing a vr game so that you can walk infintely in the game while staying in the same spot physically.
The design file is for DesignSpark Mechanical.
I have three BOMs listed. BOM-Prototype-Dev-Pro is the BOM for the prototype/development version I'm working on now. In the future it could be a pro version. BOM-Consumer is the BOM for the version of the shoe that has cheaper components that might be more suitable for a consumer-level product. BOM-OnlyPoweredBraking is the BOM for a downgraded version of the shoe that only has powered braking and no powered walking assistance.
I'm currently working on the prototype version. Once I have a prototype working I will work on getting the cheaper (BOM-Consumer) version working. Then later I can try the powered braking version. I will also try out other versions of the shoes, such as a cheaper version that can only go forward/backwards (no strafing).
