@FreeaimVR is revolutionizing VR locomotion with their innovative wearable shoes that allow for omnidirectional movement in virtual spaces. In this interview with VP Land, Ashley Foxcroft, the founder of Freeaim, shares insights into how their technology is transforming the VR experience for gaming, training, and beyond.

Key Takeaways:
Freeaim has miniaturized VR treadmill technology into a pair of shoes, making it more accessible and cost-effective than large, expensive omnidirectional treadmills.
The shoes feature rotating modules underneath that enable sideways movement, allowing users to walk naturally in any direction within the virtual environment.
Freeaim shoes connect wirelessly to a PC via Bluetooth and are compatible with any VR headset that works with Steam, preferably wireless headsets like the Quest series.
A minimum space of 1.5 meters by 1.5 meters is recommended, making it suitable for most living rooms or offices.
The shoes work best on hard floors like tiles, vinyl, or laminate, but can also be used on low-pile carpets with a mat on top.
