Virtuix Omni Operator Manual | Version 2.4| 7/25/2017
a. “Take one step forward and put your weight on your forward foot, and let it slide
back via gravity.” Encourage the User to take a full step and lean forward on their
forward foot.
b. “Lean forward / shift your weight forward and lean into your gait, placing your
weight on your forward foot.”
c. The User can keep both hands on the Ring during this initial training phase.
d. Instructor needs to physically demonstrate the actions instructed.
e. After the first step the User will proceed to do the same with the other foot.
f. Make sure the User is not shuffling his feet but taking actual steps.
g. The instructor can make the analogy with a bike: “Feels a bit awkward at first, but
after a few minutes the movement will become second nature. It’s a matter of
finding the right balance and getting used to the movement.”
12. Next instruct the User to walk forward normally at a slow and steady pace.
a. Continue to hold the metal frame of the Harness and continue to push the
Harness and User forward against the Ring.
b. If the User has trouble, make sure to mirror the User (standing by his side) and
show him to shift his weight forward / lean forward and put his weight on his
forward foot. Both hands can be on the Ring for extra support.
c. Make sure the User does not attempt to run or let go of the Ring if he needs more
time to practice.
d. After these initial steps, tighten the two straps in the back of the User once
more for maximum support.
e. The User should continue to walk for another 1-2 minutes to get a proper feel for
the Omni.
13. Ask the User to “look up while walking forward” (instead of downwards at his/her
feet). This will automatically straighten the User’s posture.
14. Next the User should be given the controller.
a. Have the User walk for 2-3 minutes while holding the controller.
b. Explain the controller layout (Triggers and Buttons).
15. Do not allow anyone to put on the HMD until he is fully accustomed to walking
comfortably on the Omni. Continue the training as long as necessary.
16. Once the instructor deems the User is ready for Omni VR, give the User the HMD to
start the VR experience.
a. Be sure to hold the controller for the User while he is putting on the HMD, then
hand the controller back to the User.
b. Tighten the two back straps one more time before gameplay.
