Complete Locomotion System

During the development of KAT loco, our team placed large focus on introduction of all features necessary to reach the sweet spot between versatility, convenience, and immersion. That means a wide variety of available actions which can be carried out quickly and smoothly. Our system allows you to instantly perform almost any movement you’re capable of.

Walk, Run and Stop with no delay

KAT Loco enables you to move within VR by literally walking or running in place in reality. What’s more, you can enjoy it in the most natural of ways! Implementation of analogue speed together with loco’s low motion latency allows you to achieve instant movement and realistic acceleration through higher frequency of steps in each VR game and simulation that supports it. Immersive, precise, and detailed actions in gaming are finally within your reach!

Decoupled Head and body Directions

One of main differences between standard motion in games, and real-life movement is independent control over head and body directions which are not fixed. With introduction of such a function, loco enables you to freely look around, aim, and shoot while continuously moving towards any intended direction in order to achieve better vision and get a strategic advantage in many games. Not to mention increased immersion and deepened realism for which independent H&B directions is a necessity.

Fully Utilise your play area with roomscale support

KAT Loco allows you to fully integrate your play area into VR experience and interact with your surroundings in a natural way. Use this advantage to carry out just any physical action - even jumping! And all of that without manually switching between different motion modes. Support for Roomscale is an integral part of our system.

Move Backwards

Let’s just state the obvious – support for moving backwards is absolutely necessary. Nothing can take you by surprise if you always watch your back! And if you ever find yourself outnumbered or overwhelmed in close combat, you can effortlessly retreat.

Strafe

Being one of main mechanics of many games especially competitive FPSes in which it allows you to dodge bullets, take cover or just stay in motion, strafing simply couldn’t be absent in our system!

Use Cruise Control

The cruise control function allows you to keep moving in a certain direction at a certain speed without constantly moving your legs. Traversing vast lands through virtual worlds has never been easier!

The New Feature- Mocap System

KAT loco's sensors are modular what makes the system expandable and applicable to content requiring mocap such as VR Chat. In order to achieve that goal for basic movement such as flexing and swinging your legs, and raising them vertically and horizontally, three KAT loco's sensors will completely suffice. If there is need for a more precise and complex mocap function , we are developing KAT loco to be expandable to 5 modules allowing you to crouch, sit down, lay down, kick and so on
