Virtuix, the creator of the Omni One full-body virtual reality (VR) gaming treadmill, has officially unveiled today its innovative offering, âTREKS,â an engaging travel experience that allows users to explore some of the globeâs most renowned sites via the Omni One VR system.
Launching exclusively on the Omni One platform from March 6 onwards, TREKS provides a unique opportunity for users to virtually traverse each destination at their own pace from the comfort of home. According to Virtuix, participating in TREKS for an hour can help burn approximately 500 calories on average.
At its introduction, gamers will embark on guided virtual excursions, experiencing locations as though they were physically there, whether trekking through the Grand Canyon, leisurely walking in Central Park, or exploring the historic halls of Fort Masmak.
The initial launch of TREKS features the following sites:
- Grand Canyon â Traverse the paths and admire the views from this breathtaking natural site.
- Niagara Falls â Witness the majestic falls from both the American and Canadian perspectives.
- New York City â Visit iconic sites such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park, and the Brooklyn Bridge.
- Saudi Arabia â Enter Fort Masmak and delve into the designs of Al Rajhi Mosque.
Virtuix announced its aims to broaden the TREKS universe with more destinations added over time as downloadable content (DLC), with upcoming updates set to reveal new landmarks, historic sites, and natural marvels for users to discover.
âWith TREKS, youâre not simply observing these locationsâyouâre moving through them,â stated Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. âItâs an excellent method to stay active while discovering some of the most celebrated places worldwide. Fitness and exploration complement each other, and TREKS realizes that in an entirely fresh way.â
Starting this week, TREKS will be available solely on the Omni One Game Store for USD $29.99. The company also mentioned that further DLC locations will be disclosed in the upcoming months.
