Virtual reality treadmill maker Virtuix tests the waters for a ‘mini-IPO’

Virtuix, maker of the Omni virtual reality treadmill, said today it is testing the waters for a “mini-IPO” under new regulations that allow companies to raise money in a new way.

Austin, Texas-based Virtuix has begun shipping the Omni, a new product that allows you to run on a treadmill-like platform while wearing virtual reality goggles. It enhances the feeling of presence, or being immersed in a virtual world, because it allows you to make use of your legs and run.
