What is a Virtusphere?

A virtusphere is a virtual reality device that basically consists in a big sphere inside which you enter and run like a hamster. It uses to work combined with other virtual reality devices.

The hardware registers your movement so your avatar moves with you while you are actually walking inside the sphere.
