I ran across an entire CONTINENT in VR with an Omni-Direction Treadmill

Hello! Today I challenge myself to run across the entire Skyrim map from bottom to top.. entirely in VR with an Omnidirectional Treadmill. Total distance is very approximately calculated to 13 miles, give or take a few, all in one go. This was one of the harder VR challenges I have done, especially because of the nature of a Katwalk C. The real question is, what breaks first? Me or the Omnidirectional treadmill?

[@KATVR]

Note on the Wear and Tear effect: Regarding the hardcore wear and tear that affected the Thrill's shoes and platform - it can be mostly avoided by application of lubricant maintenance oil (Each KAT Walk C package comes with a bottle of silicon oil for that purpose). 2 - 3 drops once in a while will keep the surface and the shoes smooth for hundreds of hours of walking, running and sprinting, greatly reducing the wear and tear. That said - we owe thrill's feet serious apologies - This information has not been delivered to him so that's on us!

[@merendell]

I've looked into it, Just cant justify the price right at this moment. Far to many demands on my sadly not unlimited finances at this time. Still you guys sit in that nice middle ground of good enough to add to the immersion but not outrageously expensive. I can save up for one of yours, a few of the others I looked at were a hard nope when they outpriced my car by a couple of times.

[@fsdfsdsgsdhdssd8559]

You should add an auto-applicator that just applies a couple drops to the edge every 2 hours or something. That way the immersion isn't broken. Let the player distribute it when they run over it and keep the parts minimal. Although it might make them trip so a warning or something might be needed. Possibly let them apply it through a menu when they notice the surface could use some.

[@KATVR]

@@fsdfsdsgsdhdssd8559 Hi there! There is no threat to immersion since there is no need for applying the oil each few hours. The oil needs to be applied once in several days so it doesn't affect the gaming sessions in any way : ) The minimum effort that it takes (1 minute each few days) doesn't justify any automatic oil application system that would cause an absolutely unproportional increase in price.

I like the treadmill, but it's too expensive still.

@@robertweekes5783 Honestly for such long runs I can see how you could modify a normal treadmill. Instead of turning in RL you have a safety harness like for the katwalk and it can detect you wanting to turn. Not great for general locomotion since you can only turn and go forward, but probably much more comfortable for this type of excercise in VR

[@KitOkunaru]

I thought he did Whiterun > Riften > Solitude. So he ran Skyrim 1.5 times

[@Triisttan]

Just going to bring the reality factor in, he most definitely did not travel 13 miles. I'm not saying he's not fit or even capable of travelling 13 miles in 2 hours, but with those small steps and inability to move well, 13 miles is a heavy exaggeration if you consider it for a moment. 9 minute mile pace is doable for somewhat active people, 9 minute mile pace for 13 miles is much more intense and usually is done by people who run and train often. Again, I wouldn't be surprised if Thrill could run 13 miles in 2 hours on an actual treadmill or a road race, but not with the small steps and shuffle like movement that's done on the Kat Walk C. 13 miles is a heavy, heavy exaggeration. 8 miles is a much more reasonable estimation, maybe a bit less.

0:28 dude it wasn't necessary to blur out your face just because you weren't wearing a mask, the thought about people running around with these masks on is ridiculous, for real this whole covid has people totally freaked out, i get why the editor might have felt like it would be a good idea to blur it out since in some parts of the world it's punishable to not wear a mask but that just proves how bizarre and ridiculous everything's gotten. i'll jump back into my fox hole and take cover from all the sheeps that are gonna yell at me because i'm a grandma killer for saying this assumably.

I felt the same way and was looking for comments that noticed this. They are indoors!

[@Choosemeiwin]

@@AdityaPrasad007 yeah it's crazy right? some places they want to force people to wear mask indoors *sigh*

[@donaldendsley6199]

The reason he wears a mask on video is not because of protection from COVID. He wears it as a separation between reality and VR. In VR he can be who he wants to be, in reality he can only be who he is. The mask allows him to more personify his VR self in "live action" video. Also wearing a mask indoors around others is precisely where you want to be wearing one. In fact the place you are most likely to catch COVID is in your home, because you are not wearing a mask around your family members.

Dude wears a mask for privacy reasons, what were you on about, lmao.

@@JVLY Anti-maskers are a combination of stupid and mentally ill, so no wonder so many of them don't understand why he would blur his face.

This may be the most useful VR treadmill video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for putting yourself through this kind of hell. I’ve really wanted something like this for short bouts of running but mostly for long bouts of walking when I don’t feel like venturing outside. How do you feel the katwalk would hold up to two hours of walking a few days a week versus running? It seems like it would be more suited for that but it’s hard to say without experiencing it.
