I guess the solution is to wear really slippery shoes because that is essentially what this is but overengineered.

I think we just solved the space for VR issue. Just need to be suspended to make sure you don't fall over and break the headset while it's still on. 

You need hardware to tell the game your feet are moving and in which direction and speed. Could be solved with vive trackers attached to your ankles and have it look for specific motion to translate the movement but it's not going to be very accurate.

is it going to be like SAO?

 

i mean like it take a abridged production team to fix it?

SAO would be the perfect VR experience, just the same issues will pop up. How safe is intercepting brain signals really?

True True, but then again could it be called a game? It's basically like real life and real life has shit game design XD

All i want to do is hunt dragons and drink in beer halls, basically if Valhalla turns out to be real as an afterlife I'm going to be so happy

Difference being you have to manual move your foot for each step vs one step = like 1 yard/meter/foot, etc.

Its a very niche market, not profitable!
