guy combines an Oculus Rift and an omnidirectional treadmill to make the most sweat inducing version

Does this 400-600 package include the rift itself? And some sort of wireless controller?

I can see it now, two armies running at each other and stopping to catch a breath.

it would feel weird because you would be running faster than you would on the walker thing

I could imagine the extreme using a stairmaster to simulate going up steps carved out of a mountain.

Why can't they just make an array of ball bearings? Wouldn't that works an omnidirectional treadmill that's really cheap?

No, it's just the Omni itself. The Rift is already ~$300, so it's obviously not included. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a package deal with the Omni, the Rift, and some controller once both are fully released.

Imagine Planetside 2 with this, hoo boy.
