Floor designed so you can never walk off

I see the horror movie in front of me. A group of teenagers is trapped on 5 x 5 meters of this flooring and can't escape … ;-)

How do you get off?

Ready player one vibes

Every time I see these floors the people who are demoing them always seem to have a really weird gait. Usually very small steps. Gives the impression the tech is not there yet.

It only works if you do the dementia shuffle

Now we know how the holodeck works! I always wondered how they never hit a wall.

But NONE of them looks like they're walking remotely normally, though. They're actually being very specific about how they walk. If I were to walk naturally, I don't think the results would quite be this way.

How do you leave?

Why does nobody in the video walk normally? They just shuffle their feet; I can shuffle in place with the pinnacle of technology called socks.

Do you just starve to death if you can't walk off it?

And how do you get off of it?

who needs a treadmill when you can put this into a corner of a basement?

Shut up and take my money!

great stuff, but you need to be able to run on it without issue or it‘ll be useless for vr

A FLOOR operating as an unnoticeable "displacement system" = NOT A BIG leap to the concept of a virtual world operating as an unnoticeable (for majority) "displacement system", a system for those who've been displaced and fooled against their will... ? @YellowRoseTx51 @Theragem1

as a kidnapper - this is the thing i need 🤣🤣🤣🤣

that could work like an inexpensive treadmill.

$5000 dollars says I can outrun it

so, you can gently shuffle on it? can you take a full stride and have it feel like you’re realistically walking?

Honestly this kind of floors should be forbidden...

I wanna see someone running on this then I’ll really be impressed.

That's what the floors of the holodeck on the Enterprise-D are made of!

YES, i need it, first thing i'll do will be the snake way on vrchat

You just need to lift each one of your legs and depossit'em forward step by step...., not to drag'em!!! my GOD 🤣

Imagine the trippiness after 3 hours in VR on this floor

Future of gaming, ready player 2

The possibilities are limited... and scary

Great for security. Someone tries to break into your house. You have one of those in front of your door. Call the police, they're going nowhere.

Now they're stuck there FOREVER!

@Grok is this true, or next one fake?

I was trapped on one for 40 years until someone pushed me off.

The future prisons will be open spaces that you can't run out or even roll out of.
