OMNIDIRECTIONAL FLOORING SYSTEM FOR VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240269547 titled 'OMNIDIRECTIONAL FLOORING SYSTEM FOR VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT

The abstract describes a virtual reality flooring system that is connected to a virtual reality game, allowing users to move in multiple axes to maintain their position during virtual reality experiences.

• The system includes movable tile members arranged in a fixed grid on a base platform.
• Tile members are coupled to a movement member and have sensors to support the user's foot during movement.
• Tile members can move independently in the z-axis to engage with the user's foot.
• The system ensures the user's position is maintained during virtual reality movements.
