The Virtuix Omni is a $699 device that allows you to walk through virtual reality while wearing a VR headset. It all starts by getting strapped into the harness safeguard thing while wearing special low friction shoes. It’s not actually a treadmill, it’s more of a slippery concave bowl of which you’re constantly running up the sides.

See TechCrunch reporter Lucas Matney in action here.

Perspective-aware Manipulation of Portrait Photos

Research from University of Princeton Department of Computer Science demonstrating method to alter portrait selfies as distant camera shots through computation to improve appearance of subject:

This paper introduces a method to modify the apparent relative pose and distance between camera and subject given a single portrait photo. Our approach fits a full perspective camera and a parametric 3D head model to the portrait, and then builds a 2D warp in the image plane to approximate the effect of a desired change in 3D. We show that this model is capable of correcting objectionable artifacts such as the large noses sometimes seen in “selfies,” or to deliberately bring a distant camera closer to the subject. This framework can also be used to re-pose the subject, as well as to create stereo pairs from an input portrait. We show convincing results on both an existing dataset as well as a new dataset we captured to validate our method.
