Virtuix, a virtual reality motion platform that may transform the gaming industry with a previously unheard of sense of immersive gameplay experience, is preparing to raise capital under Regulation A+ on SeedInvest. The company has generated over $19 million in indicated interest to date. The Series A funding seeks a max raise of $15 million – so it looks pretty good so far. Crowdfund Insider has covered the funding round and recently Virtuix offered me the opportunity to experience the Virtuix Omni, along with the Oculus headset, and it was simply awesome.
First things first, I was worried that it would be flimsy and I wouldn’t feel safe. It was sturdy and there was no way I could “fall”. Also, once in the game, while the graphics weren’t realistic, the spatial relationships and movement was, and it was so fun to be 
surrounded by the robot aliens and shoot them. I am not a gamer but could really see myself enjoying this. I see how this could be used by the whole family, and my husband is totally jealous I got to try it. I also love all the potential uses, from education to health care; I am excited to see where they take this.
Virtuix is preparing to ship its first batch having presold thousands of Omni’s and will be first to market with their VR motion platform. I can see the Omni becoming standard equipment in every household with a serious gamer. Beyond gaming, Virtuix sees many other potential vertical uses.
Will 2016 be the year of Virtual Reality? I don’t know if this is the year but it is definitely coming.
