Tender Details

The University is soliciting prospective proponents to submit proposals for a Center-Pivot Treadmill System for VR-Integrated Research Applications.A specialized treadmill system is essential for research in virtual reality (VR) environments. It enables the controlled simulation of various walking and running scenarios while monitoring interactions with ground reaction forces. The treadmill must allow precise control of speed, direction, and tilt to mimic real-world dynamics and must seamlessly integrate with VR scenarios through a software development kit (SDK). Additionally, the treadmill should support a center-pivot mechanism to replicate natural gait dynamics and provide researchers with the flexibility to programmatically control movement for experimental designs.To maximize the utility of the VR lab space, the treadmill's handrails must be removable, and a custom-designed pit/treadmill cover must be included that allows the lab space to be safely repurposed for non-treadmill experiments and general foot traffic. The system's versatility in facilitating controlled biomechanical experiments while preserving space functionality is critical to advancing research in gait, balance, and navigation in immersive VR contexts.The treadmill system must feature a split belt unit with a center-pivot design to replicate natural gait and balance during dynamic VR-based scenarios accurately. It must allow programmatic control via an SDK to integrate with VR platforms (i.e., Unreal Engi...
