The Virtualizer offers absolute freedom of movement for every Virtual Reality application imaginable. Gaming. Simulation. Training. You name it!

Ever since Palmer Lucky sparked the VR revolution, a number of startup companies have successfully crowd funded their products and services. This Austrian startup, Cyberith, is a great example of huge Kickstarter success for virtual reality startups. Cyberith have developed the Cyberith Virtualizer that allows players to move freely inside the virtual world.

Every part of the Virtualizer is designed to combine maximum immersion with maximum stability. After three years of development and three generations of prototypes, here comes the perfect solution to a core problem of Virtual Reality.

Cyberith, founded in 2014. Headquartered in Australia, with regional offices in Vienna, Australia & Redwwod City, USA.

What’s the use of an infinite virtual world if your body is still stuck in finite real space? Where other Virtual Reality locomotion solutions rely largely on open rooms to offer limited virtual space, the Virtualizer requires little room to offer unlimited virtual space.

Cyberith Virtualizer was designed to be compatible with any software that allows for controller or keyboard input, and is very easy to integrate into game engines. The Virtualizer can be easily stored and assembled in matter minutes. It runs on USB plug & play devices without the need for additional power supply, with integrated Bluetooth support to connect to HMDs like the Samsung Gear VR.
