3D Rudder

Movement within virtual reality is still an issue that a number of startups are looking to solve.

France's 3D Rudder has a round, skateboard-like platform that lets its user move forward and backward, side to side and up and down. The user controls movements with their feet while sitting, leaving their hands free to do other things — or hold other controllers.

"We believe it's the solution to movement," says company founder Stanislas Chesnais. "It helps to keep your hands independent."

The 3D Rudder will be available for pre-order in March for $175 US.
