Company Description

VRGO is a connected chair that provides hands free movement within VR.

The VRGO chair is a highly responsive motion input device for virtual reality that provides gamers and VR enthusiasts a method of unlocking more immersion and enjoyment from VR. Simply by tilting the chair in the direction you want to move you move in that direction within the virtual space. It seamlessly connects to any HMD as either a joypad or keyboard input, so works with content straight out of the box. Our custom made system of sensors use a low latency Bluetooth connection to ensure the most responsive hands-free experience. The VRGO complements the natural locomotion of the user’s body. During movement, the human body naturally inclines towards the direction it’s travelling. The VRGO’s tilting and swivelling movement allows for a full, organic range of movement and rotation in any direction. Natural movement also counteracts the body’s inclination to feel nausea when using VR HMDs, which has proven to be one of the Achilles heels to mainstream VR adoption. Unlike standing locomotion devices on the market the VRGO chair provides a comfortable seated experience that is designed to look great in any home and small enough not to occupy a whole room dedicated to locomotion. It also contains storage space for your HMD inside.
