Gerevo launches motion control + analog vibration VR shoes

According to foreign media reports, if 2016 is the first year of virtual reality, then 2017 may become a year of the rise of virtual reality accessories. Gerevo, a Japanese device manufacturer, recently launched a new hardware product called Taclim. The interesting thing is that it combines motion controllers and shoes while providing tactile feedback for the virtual reality experience: when virtual reality players are When walking on different surfaces or kicking the enemy's face, the shoes will vibrate in different ways to give feedback to the user.

Taclim is still in the prototype stage, and Gerevo plans to showcase this Taclim shoe for the first time at CES 2017, but this is to gather advice and prepare for the development of new hardware. In fact, this is because Gerevo clearly recognizes that the device is really new, but the shoes are very bulky, with two heavy straps on it, and the foam sole has a separate design. You can adjust the size by sliding to the most suitable size. In fact, it is difficult to maintain balance in walking with shoes, let alone kicking out.

The experiencer wears this shoe to try a game called "Headbutt Factory" from PlayStaTIon VR. When the player is ready to kick the enemy, the system takes a general amount of time to respond; when the player is wearing shoes, walking on the road When encountering different road surfaces, such as snow, wood surfaces, etc., players will feel the vibration of the shoes, and the vibration will also have different vibration effects due to different road surface textures.

Cerevo plans to bring Taclim to the market this fall, but don't expect to see it in your living room for the time being. Takuma Iwasa, Cerevo's CEO, spoke about the product: he thinks Taclim is an enterprise-class product that business users can use to promote their products or projects. For example, the owner of an ice rink can use it to create a virtual reality experience, use Taclim to simulate the feeling of sliding on ice, or install Taclim in a playground, exhibition hall or other public place.

Taclim's entire tactile feedback system is available for sale between $1,000 and $1,500 in the fall. At the end of January, its demo game "Headbutt Factory" will be launched on the PlayStaTIon VR platform, and Taclim users will be able to play the game for free. However, whether it really works effectively depends on Cerevo.
