Walk to Play, Real Motion Game Controller and Virtual Walk Exertainment

Frequently Asked Questions

What games does it work with?

It works with any digital world and most games that have a forward, backward, left, or right motion. It can also strafe. We've tried it with: Rainbow Six, Unreal Gold, Second Life, Counter Strike, Google Street View, World of War Craft, more than we can mention.

Does it provide a really good work out?

Most experts say that walking is one of the best ways to burn fat and build cardiovascular health. We've tested it at exercise and rehab centers and their clients love it.

Will it work for physical therapy?

Yes. Rehab and physical therapy was one of the main reasons we designed it. You can use the ramp while standing, with a walker for extra support, or while sitting. Combining physical activity with mental challenges provides a double benefit for rehabilitation.

Can I write games for your controller?

Yes, please do. There are tons of new game ideas that will be great with the controller. We even have a list of ideas if you want to collaborate.

Can I get a sample unit for testing?

Not right now. We only have a few hand made units. Although, for game development you don't really need a sample unit. If your game works with a joystick or keyboard it will work with our device.

I'm a manufacturer can I partner with you?

Perhaps. Contact us.

Will it work with multi-player games?

Yes, its a lot of fun.

Will it improve my performance?

That depends. If you're a hardcore gamer probably not at first but it is more challenging so it breaths new life into old games. If you're a casual player, like most of us, it's a lot easier and more fun. But best of all it gets you moving and THAT WILL improve your performance in other areas of your life. ;)

Does it take up a lot of space?

No. You won't be knocking stuff over in your living room while playing and you won't need and addition to your house. You can see in the video that its compact. It doesn't need any space other than what you walk on, and folds up to be even smaller for easy storage.

How easy is it to set up?

1. Take it out of the box
2. Plug it in
3. Start playing

Is it safe?

Yes. Unlike a tread mill there are no moving parts. The special shoes provide just enough friction to give the sensation of walking. You remain in complete control while your feet move over the surface of the controller. If you need extra safety you can also use a walker or while sitting.

Is it quiet?

Yes, it's very quiet. Listen to the video. You can use this day or night and not disturb anyone.

What comes with the device?

The ramp and special shoes.

Will this work in an arcade?

Yes, we have designs for an industrial version. Contact us about special orders.
