Digital Media Concepts/Infinadeck Omnidirectional Treadmill

Basic Information
Infinadeck is a company based out of Rocklin, California. They have focused on the development of a single product, the Omnidirectional treadmill. The purpose of this creation was to enhance the experience of using a VR headset.

Their exact description is as follows:"Infinadeck is the world's first commercially-viable omnidirectional treadmill. This patented device allows users to naturally walk in any direction and, when paired with a VR headset, creates a personal holodeck experience that will allow users to take a stroll through vast, immersive new worlds."

Appearances in the media
The earliest appearances of Infinadeck in the media starts in 2014 on Twitter.

Infinadeck was really put on the map in April 2018 when Infinadeck gave a product demonstration to Destin Sandlin, best known from his YouTube channel "Smarter Every Day," and Adam Savage, who you might know as a host of the popular science show MythBusters. Sandlin, an engineer, posted his review videos on April 16, 2018 and did his best to decipher the technology behind the treadmill and break it down in a way that's easy for viewers to understand. Savage posted his video to his mini show "Adam Savage's Tested" just two days later on the 18th, where co-hosts Norm and Jeremy showcased the treadmill and it's features.
