The Holotile is composed of many hexes of a flooring that can both enable passive omnidirectional locomotion as well as active, programmed movement. Inspired by the holodeck of Star Trek fame, it creates the ability to walk forever in any direction, regardless of the physical limitation of real room space. From a VR metaverse to object “telekinesis”, the possibilities are endless!
