Even though we are surrounded by all types of evolving tech, people have still not been given the access to allow their body to freely follow where their mind wanders in VR. With the power to fully immerse minds, Unlocked Reality has the opportunity to change the world.

VR headsets let you see with your eyes and hands, but how you move is still bounded & restricted. Currently, in the VR space, you have no control over your movement. In today’s landscape, common experiences include:

• Running out of play space

• Bumping into things

• Motion sickness

• Losing your sense of immersion

Although there have been attempts to give people mobility via treadmills, slide mills, & trackers, they all have fallen short of capturing true movement; this is due to the fact that your movements are being translated poorly.

Unlocked Reality is focused on providing users the ability to free the body to follow where the mind wanders.

Unlocked Reality is focused on providing users the ability to free the body to follow where the mind wanders.

• Allow natural movement

• Connect your body’s senses

• Enable untethered exploration in an alternate reality

Our patent pending method of dynamically reducing friction is unlike any other existing VR platform. Using the platform (and shoes), we are working towards providing users the ability to move untethered as the friction keeps them in one place.

There are two different methods we could use to achieve this effect: An economic mechanical method that relies on ball transfer units and a much more robust method that relies on magnetic levitation. Magnetic levitation (maglev) enables an object to float above a solid surface. Ball transfer units utilize rolling friction to allow objects to slide over them fluidly.

Both methods are driven by machine learning. Using sensors, the algorithm can recognize:

• User’s unique gait pattern

• Tracks their activity

• Accurately predicts their movement

Using this prediction we can control the system to keep in step with the user and support any users’ movement naturally.

Dynamic friction reduction is achieved by controlling the users’ interaction with the ground or platform surface by physically changing their exposure to either a high or a low friction surface (dependent on the method) at specific times during a walking cycle in order to prevent the user from displacing themselves.

Unlocked Reality plans to sell directly to consumers and enterprises. We envision growing with enterprise clients through value-added resellers (VAR) and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) sales.

Through superior customer care, regular communication, cutting-edge technology, and the announcement of new markets and new products, we believe excellent growth is possible. As the world’s technology advances, businesses begin to integrate VR to advance their work and more consumers acquire a personal VR Set, the need for true immersion, and Unlocked Reality’s platform, will only grow. The possibilities for Unlocked Reality are endless.

Not only is the virtual reality and augmented reality market massive, but it is also going exponential.

In 2020, the global VR headset market size was valued at $7.81 Billion USD. From 20201-2028, it is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.2%.

We plan to be focusing on enterprise + consumer verticals where VR movement must be natural and fluid for a truly immersive experience.

As we go forward, starting with locomotion, we plan to make a family of products to be the standard for fully immersive VR.

We are creating tools so people can have more meaningful experiences in VR and the Metaverse.

Just as we are working with the evolution of internet/web experiences through Web 2.0, we are building the building blocks for experiences with Web 3.0. VR needs tools to bring the rest of the body into Virtual Reality and those are what we intend to build.
