Pocket Strafe has a different solution to moving around in VR

Locomotion in virtual reality experiences and games is something that hasn’t been figured out entirely just yet. With headset tracking and sensors, players can move around defined spaces that reflect the rooms they inhabit to a degree, but you’re limited by the size of your physical space. And while there are options like teleporting to expand that area, that breaks immersion and depends on the use of controllers for movement. Omni-directional treadmills like the Virtuix Omni are the most immersive of the bunch from a physical perspective, but they’re bulky and not very practical for the average consumer.

None of these truly display a reliable option in a small form factor that can trick our minds as we move around the larger landscapes some VR games offer. However, the small team at Cool Font has a new app that may open a new door for movement in virtual reality.
