Virtuix Omni One, a platform that will allow you to run and crouch in virtual reality games

Virtual reality is here to stay. While it is true that this technology is being implemented in homes very slowly (mainly due to the cost of compatible glasses and technical requirements for their use), it is clear that it is the future of entertainment.

And little by little we are seeing more reasons to bet on a peripheral of this type. The latest example? The Virtuix Omni One VR base, a product that will achieve the best feeling of immersion when playing VR titles.

It should be noted that Virtuix is a startup specialized in virtual reality solutions and that they have a platform that allows you to run, jump, and physically bend over while you enjoy VR games.

Its first model was intended for game rooms. But now they have gone one step further by announcing the arrival of Virtuix Omni One, a version for homes that will be available in mid-2021 at a price of around 1,700 euros.

This is Virtuix Omni One, the platform that will make you believe that you are in the game

Say that this version for homes has followed the steps of the first model. In this way, Virtuix has opted for collective financing to launch this project forward. And looking at the possibilities offered by the VR Omni One platform, it is clear that its success is going to be overwhelming.

For starters, you can run, jump or crouch as if you were on a real stage. To this must be added the fact that the team behind the development of this complement for your virtual reality glasses, seeks to achieve the greatest possible compatibility.

And the thing is, the Virtuix Omni One will be compatible with 30 titles from its launch, including games like Call of Duty. In this way, the main shooters in the sector will be perfectly compatible with this device.

Additionally, the design team has taken into account the uniqueness of any average home. In this way, the dimensions of the new platform are notably lower than those of the first model, so that you can store it in any corner while you are not using it without occupying half of your living room.

On the other hand, it should be noted that the possibilities offered by the Virtuix Omni One platform are really varied. In addition to being able to get the best feeling of immersion, this gadget can be turned into a personal gym.

And the idea of being able to go out for a run using Google Street View so that your running session is in the city you want is a value to take into account. The only problem with this system is that you have to be in good physical shape to use it.

If not, shortly after you are crouching, jumping, and running, you will end up leaving the platform to use a more traditional controller.

Anyway, this is a very interesting product to get the most out of VR action games. If you are interested in purchasing the Virtuix Omni One platform, you can access this link to help this crowdfunding project succeed.

The charging trial was also carried out using a smartphone that has a battery with a capacity of 4,000 mAh. It can be seen that within three minutes, the battery which was originally at 50 percent can be fully charged using a cable.

Of course, now the question is what Xiaomi smartphone will come with this fast charging technology. It is very likely that this technology will be announced in the Xiaomi flagship smartphone which will be released at the end of 2021.

Apple Exhibits New Product Tracker for $29 Coin-Sized Item Tracker

Apple has just shown off its newest product line, the name AirTag. This is a coin-sized item tracker that Apple plans to sell for $ 29 in India.

Apple made this AirTag announcement at today’s Spring Loaded 2021 event, amid other announcements regarding Apple TV and the new iPhone 12 color variant.

The Apple AirTag is more of an accessory than a complete product, for someone who wants to have more than just an iPhone or MacBook in the Apple ecosystem.

AirTag lets you track items in Apple’s “Find My” app on iOS. Apple AirTags’ goal is to keep track of everyday items such as keys, wallets, or backpacks, and notify you whenever you are separated from them.

Reporting from The Verge, Wednesday (21/4/2021), the new Apple AirTag itself has an internal speaker, accelerometer, Bluetooth LE, and a user-replaceable battery.

Apple says trackers should last one year of battery life, and you can use an NFC tap to activate lost mode for items you want to track.

According to Apple, each AirTag is equipped with an Apple-designed U1 chip using Ultra-Wideband technology, enabling Precision Search for iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 users.

This allows the user to more accurately determine the distance and direction to the AirTag that is lost while it is in range. As the user moves, Precision Search combines input from the camera, ARKit, accelerometer, and gyroscope and then guides them to AirTag using a combination of sound, haptic, and visual feedback.
