The ROVR is an omnidirectional treadmill that simulates walking and running in virtual reality when used alongside a head-mounted display.
It is developed by ROVR Systems Ltd, who market it as "The mouse of the VR world".[1] This is due to the ROVR providing omnidirectional movement in virtual reality in a manner akin to walking in the real world. This is as opposed to the current teleportation solution. The difference can be described as navigating a website with a mouse instead of cycling through links sequentially using the tab key.
