When it comes to VR play, the process will oftentimes lead the player astray and potentially into nearby obstacles, so the 'Proximat' is designed to help keep you centralized.
Available now for preorder on Kickstarter, the 'Proximat' comes in two size options -- 24-inches and 36-inches -- and can help to prevent users from wandering all over a space during gameplay.
The center of the mat is defined as home and allows users to freely walk about; they can have one foot on and one foot off without having to worry about bumping into anything during VR play. The 'Proximat' is designed to be used without shoes so that users can feel the variations of the mat and know when they have moved too far from the center.
