Central Florida tech firm M3DVR is taking virtual reality to another level.
By combining some of the most cutting-edge equipment in the high-tech sector, including a VR headset, a full-body Tesla Suit and an omni-directional treadmill, to create a system in which a user can walk — or even run — through a virtual environment. The force feedback of the body suit means the user can feel virtual gunshots and explosions in virtual reality.
Due to the wide range of applications for this virtual reality system, M3DVR was named one of Orlando Inno's 10 2023 Startups to Watch
