<h5>Who has unveiled this new floor?</h5><p>The Walt Disney Company just unveiled HoloTiles. It is the world’s first multi-person, multidirectional, adaptable, and expandable treadmill floor. This technology allows multiple users to share a virtual reality (VR) experience while walking in any direction and not bumping into each other.</p><p>The HoloTile Floor is a system comprising hundreds of small round tiles arranged closely together. These tiles work together to form a multidirectional treadmill that prevents the user standing on it from leaving the pad.</p><p>The floor was presented by Lanny Smoot, a senior employee of Disney and the person behind HoloTiles. He said that he can walk in any direction he wants, using the floor. The HoloTiles will adjust accordingly to ensure the person stays on the floor. What’s impressive is that many people can be on it together and all walk independently.</p><h5>What will the floor be used for?</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <video width="100%" controls=""> <source src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/cool-new-tech-for-walking-in-virtual-reality%2FHoloTile%202.mp4?alt=media&amp;token=39e61e6a-c607-43ea-9df8-e6696d096882" type="video/mp4"> </video> <figcaption>A video on HoloTile.

As the user plays the game, the floor moves them around, giving the impression that the person is walking, running, and moving around in the game.</p><p>The user can walk in any direction without wandering off the surface of HoloTiles, as the floor is not fixed and is always moving. The HoloTile can also be used on theatrical stages to allow performers to dance or move uniquely.</p><p>While showing the product, Lanny Smoot also sat in a chair on the HoloTile floor. The treadmill floor tilted, allowing Smoot to glide around the floor. This shows the tile can also be used to move certain stage objects. However, its final usage still remains to be seen.</p><h5>So, when will this floor be made available for use?</h5><p>It’s unclear how much speed and weight the HoloTile Floor can handle. Also, the technology looks to be in its early phases of development. So, it is too early to predict when and if it will be made available for purchase.</p>

It is a new type of floor by The Walt Disney Company.
