Natural Motion + feet doesn’t really work with my VR treadmill

[Cheppe]

We will need an option to swing the legs like we do with swinging the arms in
Order for the trackers to swing instead of up and down. Can this be done as an option in the UI.
This will a great solution for current owners of VR treadmills. I have Virtuix Omni and KatVR it will work great with those treadmills. Hopefully, you can add this feature on your next update. Cheers!

I see that it works with the room scale filter off. It walks properly, but running doesn't work, only if you lift your feet in the same place rapidly. It would be nice, if I could run too. I don't know if I'm missing something??? Anybody had tried this, let me know if you can walk and run on a VR treadmill. I will keep trying and follow up with my findings.

There are VR treadmills?

[Myou cat]

Can you provide more info? What devices are you using?

[Cheppe]

Hi Myou cat,

I re-calibrated the feet and it working fine now on the ankles. I was trying the feet that is why running was not working. So it works fine now with the KatVR mini. I'm trying today with the Omni, which should work too because is pretty much the similar movements.
I will post my findings soon. Thank you for all the great work! I also posted that this game from http://www.populationonevr.com/ will be a great addon to Natural Locomotion. It is basicly Fornite in VR which would be a dream come true for all Forniters looking to play in VR.

Yes, it works!!!! Amazing! I hope to see Battle Royale in VR in the near future.
Great job! I'm a big fan of NaLo.

KatVR and Omni... I'm so jealous :"D Are they worth the investment? @Cheppe

[Cheppe]

Yes, totally worth it if you buy them cheap. I bought on kickstarter the Omni for $700 and the KatVr Walk mini for $1999 on early access that is not including shipping which was $200 and $700 respectively. I waited 5 years on the Omni and KatVR mini 6 months. Now you can get Omni for $6000 and KatVR Walk mini for around $4500.
It was a great deal at the time that I bought them.

Out of reach of us mere mortals.

Hi Cheppe,

W O W you really made a great job, but let me understand better...

I’ve a Kat walk mini too and recently tried to make it work alongside Natural Locomotion with feet tracking (no luck for now).

Are you using 2 extra Vive trackers for the ankles?

We really need this add-on?
I mean, the result is better tracking or what else compared to a normal usage of the treadmill? For example, in Skyrim VR are you able to walk and run smoothly now?

Could you explain me how you made it work?

I thought It would be possible to configure the Kat walk pairing it in steam like a Vive tracker...but I’m probably wrong.

Thanks in advance...

Oh - I tried it on the Omni and it didn't work ... I didn't think to recalibrate while inside the Omni. I'll try that!

I thought it only worked with up and down movement.

I've gone about 30km in Skyrim and Fallout VR ... I also use ankle and wrist weights. Not as much Cardio as riding a bike, but it's respectable walking.

Cheppe, how did you get it working with the Omni, i have the same set up and cant get it to work, i think my steam settings are something to do with it as they have not been changed

[CodemasterJD]

Well, I turned off room scale, and was all excited to get my Omni working, but right now nothing works, not even standing in place ... which used to work fine.

I tried the same setup I used before, for both Fallout VR and Skyrim. Nothing worked. They both used to work before.

Thanks CodemasterJD, could you please give me an insite as what youve done to set up, i have tried with my own omni and what is weird is that the ring on the game in next to where i am stood and not central, i can move but it is very sloppy on the game (when i stop walking/running it carries on and overstepps where i want to stop?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well for some reason, last week for 3 hours nothing worked. Maybe an update? There were a couple of steam updates but frankly I was busy and didn't check to see what it said changed.

I was able to use NaLo this week without any problem. I did try it with the Omni again. When I tried NaLo with the omni, I had the Omni powered off. I was just using it's physical components. I think stood in the Omni and did the calibration. It felt as if ONLY moving the feet 'up' had much of an effect. With the Omni, you're really moving your feet horizontally.

The omni itself, using it's software, is terrible. I get all of the symptoms you describe, except the ring being in the wrong place. It 'drifts' you around and never feels like moving your feet moves you in the game. What I like about NaLo is that when you move your feet, there's an exact correspondence to movement in the world, so even though you're stepping up and down it feels exactly like you have control. It's great!

Using both together would be fantastic, but so far it doesn't work right.
