The University of Stuttgart’s Visualisation Research Centre (VIS) has boosted its virtual reality research capabilities with the installation of Omnifinity’s Omnideck, a cutting-edge omnidirectional treadmill. This innovative device allows users to move freely in any direction while remaining stationary, providing a powerful new tool for studying human interaction within virtual environments.

The Omnideck will play a key role in the university’s Cluster of Excellence SimTech, supporting a wide range of research projects by enabling more realistic and complex simulations. The technology is expected to significantly advance the study of human behaviour and interactions in virtual settings.

This installation marks an important step for Omnifinity, demonstrating the versatility and impact of the Omnideck in academic research. The company is excited to see its technology used by a leading institution like the University of Stuttgart, where it will contribute to pioneering research in virtual reality.

With the Omnideck now fully operational, the University of Stuttgart is poised to explore new frontiers in VR research, setting the stage for innovative discoveries in technology and human-computer interaction.
