You are now free to move about the 'holodeck': Metaio gives virtual reality legs

The future of virtual reality is not bound to a chair, so Metaio is encouraging folks to take a stroll.

The augmented-reality firm will today unveil its “6D Augmented Reality Holodeck” tech, which enables developers to anchor virtual environments to a device’s location and perspective in the real world, the company has revealed to VentureBeat. Metaio uses “simultaneous learning and mapping” algorithms in conjunction with a device’s motion sensors to bring physical depth to virtual environments, as demonstrated in the video below.
