Virtuix’s Kickstarters won’t be running on the Omni VR treadmill outside the U.S.

You’re going to have a difficult time doing the running man in VR if you live outside of the United States.

Virtuix is canceling Omni preorders for customers who live outside of the U.S., according to a note it sent to backers of its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. The Omni is a large treadmill that enables VR players to walk or run while standing in place. In its letter, Virtuix explained that it simply does not have the logistical infrastructure to deal with the various regulatory issues and to store replacement parts to deal with customer service on a global scale. In 2013, the Omni project raised $1.1 million on Kickstarter from more than 3,200 backers. The company plans to automatically refund anyone outside of the United States.
