3DRudder is a revolutionary feet-controlled VR and 3D motion controller. The device is used while seated, all the user has to do, is simply rest their feet on it. Using the 3DRudder provides natural sensations without requiring effort or causing fatigue. To move forward, the user tilts the device forward; to move to the right, the user tilts the device to the right, and so on and so forth. The pedal enables the user to also move either up or down. Hands are free to interact with the virtual world, completely transforming the virtual reality experience.
