Talk:Omnidirectional treadmill

Initial comment, August 2006

This article should have a photo. Also could someone please tell me the template which makes the message "this article needs a photo" or whatever. THanks WikiSlasher 12:25, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Advertising?

This (a) reads like advertising copy, and (b) has no information about actual real-life omnidirectional treadmills beyond the two links at the bottom. 66.30.10.136 00:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)--xkcd

Yeah, ODT is an acronym for a catergory of product, and this is only detailed information on one of those products from a specific manufacturer. I call SPAM. This article needs to be Generic-a-sized. RobertHeadley 12:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

The video links are to an ODT which is probably just a cage being rolled around on a floor, need to verify this device. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.243.248.241 (talk) 20:21:17, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

Anonymous user 89.243.248.241 can verify YouTube ODT by calling MTS Systems Corporation, the Army Research Lab HRED, reading US Patent No. 6,152,854, or reading the original paper by Darken, Cockyne, and Carmein. Vspace 01:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

VSD, Inc.

{{Request edit}} As the inventor of the omni-directional treadmill, I naturally have an interest in a rubust and accurate ODT entry. Though I did not start the entry, I have edited extensively, and have tried to respond to each talk guideline entered by the editors. All references to Virtual Space Devices, Inc. have been removed. However, since VSD has been extensively involved in the history and development of the technology, and is the only supplier of the technology in the world, it would be perhaps useful to readers to know that the company existed. I leave it to the wisdom of the editors to insert a reference.Vspace 03:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. On the grounds that the inclusion within the text of the article may appear to be a promotional plug, and having noted that you retain a hyperlink to VSD.bz within the External links section of the article, I believe that purpose is adequately served. However, I find that, if your real name is indeed David E.E. Carmein, you were indeed the person who registered the patent in the US. As such, therefore, you deserve a personal mention in the article's History, properly referenced. I have just carried out that edit. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 14:49, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I think this page is fine now, I'll remove the box on top the page. 129.247.247.240 (talk) 15:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Stub

I started stubbing the article. There were nothing but primary sources. Should we trim it back further, or is someone interested in finding some secondary and independent sources? --Ronz (talk) 16:00, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

underlaying technology ??

Comparison between KAT WALK, Virtux Omni and Cyberith’s Virtualizer vs Infinadeck vs Omnifinity (Omnideck). The latter is developed for special forces unlike others that are developed for gaming. 213.149.61.73 (talk) 12:24, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Omnidirectional treadmill is one of a handful of VR locomotion methods; there are others like steering wheel+pedals, VirZOOM, VRGo, 3dRudder, nintendo wii controlers. Maybe even expand this article into VR locomotion methods. 213.149.61.73 (talk) 12:24, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
