It would appear that one of my ideas has started to become a reality, at least partially. You might, or might not, remember my Futuretech #1 post… Basically it’s a virtual/augmented reality computer/gaming/entertainment system that can be installed in a room of your house [your bedroom even if you so choose].  One of the main components is a treadmill-like floor tile that goes in any direction. Now apparently there has been a similar device in development for some time now that I wasn’t aware of, while it’s not exactly like my idea it is a step in the right direction. The ‘CyberWalk’ is a giant ‘omni-directional’ square treadmill like device, while my idea was a small consumer-viable round any-direction treadmill floor tile with the ability to lock in place. After discovering about this important component of my idea I think I should spend some time scouring the internet for more evidence of other components
