New Virtuix Omni Gameplay Footage, Kickstarter Goal Crushed on Day One

New Virtuix Omni gameplay videos have popped up, but first, a big congratulations to Virtuix who’s Omni Kickstarter blasted out of the gate yesterday morning and crushed its goal shortly thereafter. Now the only question left is: how high will it go?

At the time of writing (1:14AM EST), the Virtuix Omni Kickstarter has raised $460,912, more than 306% of its $150,000 goal. I’ve embedded an up-to-date widget below to keep track of the Kickstarter (it will have more accurate numbers by the time that you read this):

So far there are 1,205 backers with 1,062 Omni’s ordered. Someone even snatched up the $10,000+ ‘VR Champion tier’ shortly after the Kickstarter opened:

VR CHAMPION: Thank you – you make VR possible! No Omni in the world can be enough to thank you, so we will give you two: the first made custom wooden/steel Omni, in a design of your choosing, and the first made custom injection molded Omni, in colors and branding of your choosing. These units will be signed and serial numbered starting at 00001. Full option and all-in, including an office visit and dinner with the team – it would be our honor! Includes tracking hardware and software, up to 10 pairs of shoes, and up to 5 belts. (Let us know if you need more? Shipping and handling costs separate, see FAQ)

Virtuix will be demonstrating the Omni at E3 next week.

Will the Virtuix Omni Kickstarter surpass the Oculus Rift Kickstarter’s $2.4 million? Leave your bet in the comments!

We saw bits and pieces of them in the Kickstarter video, but here are the full Virtuix Omni gameplay videos. You can see that the Kinect tracking still needs some work; we’re hoping that Virtuix’s own tracking solution will perform better.
