VRGO, the wireless motion controller using inertial input that you sit on, has passed it’s £20,000 Kickstarter goal and has announced a stretch goal to provide a customised version of the chair.

VRGO offers a seat, loaded with inertial sensors that let you control your VR avatar’s locomotion and rotation entirely by moving the seat under your own weight. The company has now passed it’s £20,000 Kickstarter goal and have introduced a stretch goal to produce a unique version of the chair with very specific look.

“Since reaching their target, VRGO have introduced a stretch goal of £23,000 and if reached, backers who have pledge for a chair will have the chance to choose from two new colour designs; Kiwi and Mars.”

Additionally, VRGO will introduce a new referral scheme to encourage take up of the unusual controller device.

“…backers who have pledged for a chair can become a ‘Super Backer’ and receive a ‘Super Backer Kit’ for getting someone else to do the same.”

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.
