Virtuix, maker of the Omni brand of omni-directional VR treadmills, announced the launch of Omni One Core to deliver full-body VR experiences for PC gamers.

As an addition to the Omni One product line, Omni One Core delivers a fully immersive, 360-degree VR experience, designed specifically for PC gamers who already own a VR headset and controllers.

Omni One Core offers an unparalleled, total immersion experience. Users can walk, run, crouch, kneel, jump, strafe, and even back up in virtual environments, enabling physical movement without limitations.

Targeted at gamers looking to elevate their VR experience, Omni One Core is compatible with all PC-compatible VR headsets, including Meta, HTC, and Pico devices.

With Omni One Core, players can use their own VR headsets.

Omni One Core comes with the essentials: an Omni One treadmill, a pair of overshoes, foot trackers, and a Bluetooth dongle – but requires players to use their own headset. The device connects to a PC via Bluetooth and seamlessly integrates with SteamVR’s extensive library of games. Omni One’s PC application emulates the movement input to those games, replacing hand controller input by physical movement on the Omni One treadmill.

“We’re thrilled to offer Omni One Core to PC gamers looking for an easy-to-use, immersive VR experience,” said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix, in a statement. “This product allows players to physically walk and run around inside their favorite game worlds, while offering a way to burn calories and stay fit while gaming.”

The Omni One treadmill itself boasts a compact four-foot diameter design. The system is designed for hassle-free assembly and disassembly, requiring no tools, and features built-in wheels for portability. For safety, Omni One Core includes an adjustable support vest and a sturdy aluminum arm, ensuring users can navigate virtual worlds with confidence, free from the risk of bumping into walls or other objects.

Omni One Core is priced at $2,595, and the full Omni One system, which includes a standalone VR headset, controllers, and additional accessories, is now available for $3,495.

Founded in 2013 and based in Austin, Texas, Virtuix has raised more than $40 million to date.
