Gamescom 2016 3dRudder CEO interview - VR foot controller
7The 3DRudder is a feet based motion controller. That means that you sit, you rest your feet on it. And by tilting the device in different directions, you move individual worlds. So that can be in a game, in any situations where you're in the 3D environment, and when you want to have your hands free to do other things.
The most impact is when you start VR. Because in VR, you need new controllers. You can not do VR with a game pad, whatever people may say. You have the sticks from HDC or the Oculus Touch. But you need a way to move naturally. And we actually offer the only method to move while seated in a very natural intuitive way. There is no learning curve. In a matter of a few seconds, anyone can do it.
The reactions are great. I mean people - it's always the same. People are surprised. Usually before they try, they are skeptical. They discover they can do a lot of things with their feet. And if we give them something to do with their hands, they just forget that we are actually moving with the feet.
Some say that you can win more. So you're more - you perform better. If you play WOW for example, World of WarCraft. You will be - your hands will be free to type, and they won't have to manage the movement. The movement will be at your feet. There are tons of application in virtual reality where our tools makes a lot of sense. Because you need to move.
We come from the world of architecture, where this is used to move in digital models. And on CAD software, Computer Aided Design software. It's a gain of about 20% productivity. So you actually do more things faster. You can also use this in 3D environments to control a drone, to control a 360 camera, to control all sorts of equipment.
Earlier I had someone from a very large German company coming saying, "We have this lab in virtual reality, and we have been looking for something like that for a long time. And here it is. It's fascinating. And so you could feel that there are lots of people that - for whom this is the tool that they were looking for.
You can buy it for 179 Euros on our website, 3Drudder.com. And you get it in 2, 3 weeks.
