A foot-powered controller to move in VR or PC games like you move in real life
Everyday, you use your feet to walk, run, ride a bike or drive a car. With the 3dRudder foot controller, you can finally use your feet to naturally move in VR worlds. If you want to ski, fly a plane or drive a tank, the 3dRudder will move your experience to the next level.
Plug in the 3dRudder and set it up in a few clicks
Do you play your favorite VR or PC game with a keyboard, a mouse, a gamepad, a HOTAS or a joystick ? Select the appropriate mode in the 3dRudder Dashboard and your PC will recognize your 3dRudder as a second peripheral of your choice. You're free to use the 3dRudder alone or combine it with your usual controller.
Push, tilt, rotate to move the way you want
Sit down, step up and control your games with easy and effortless movements : push with your toes or heels to move forward or backward, tilt to the left or right to move sideways, rotate to turn around and apply an opposite pressure with your toes & heels to go up or down. A small or full movement will allow you adjust to your speed. All movements can be combined together. You can also use the 3dRudder to control the altitude of a plane or a starcraft. Tilting the device upward will bring the nose of your vessel up.
Motion sensors do the rest
The 3dRudder features highly sensitive sensors that capture your every movement. Regularly updated firmware turns those into responsive real-time moves. The 3dRudder dashboard also lets you configure and adjust your gaming experience with precision.
Crafted with molded plastic and metal, your 3dRudder will withstand your gaming sessions for years.
All it takes is a comfortable seat, a PC and to play in VR, your favorite VR headset
The 3dRudder is fully compatible with Windows 8 & 10. All you'll need to do to use it is plug the foot controller into your PC, install the 3dRudder Dashboard, automatically download and install the latest Dashboard and firmware updates and get ready to enjoy a new way to play games.

Move Beyond
3dRudder allows you to work more productively by creating a natural and direct relationship between you and your work environment. Explore how 3dRudder can work for you below:
Virtual Reality
Visualization, Simulation, Real Estate, Tourism & Retail. A whole new way to try it on
Whether it's imagining themselves in new threads, toying with the idea of second home or dreaming of a winter vacation, nothing gets customers to feel confident about a purchase like the ability to test it out. While there are VR solutions out there that allow just that, moving around in them isn't natural or easy and can bog the experience down. 3dRudder takes seconds to learn, so customers' can have an immersive and appealing trial experience.
CAD, Design & Architecture
Move with your feet. Design with your hands
As design professionals, we know the unique challenges posed by working/moving in 3D aren't being solved by the navigation solutions out there today. Whether it's the distraction of toggling between moving within the 3D design and creating it or the difficulty of working with a 3D mouse, designers' hands are overwhelmed. By relying on feet to navigate around and within digital models, 3dRudder makes your workflow much smoother and productive: Free of the responsibility to move, your hands are able to shape, scale and design with much more focus. Simple enough for anyone to use, 3dRudder lets clients, visualize, explore and move around your work in VR, so on presentation day, they can finally experience it for the immersive work that it is.
Machine Driving
When two hands aren't enough
Machine-aided movement enables us to feats of power and precision as well as confronts us with a complexity problem. For surgeons controlling a camera in the OR to pilots manning a submersible drone, sometimes two hands simply aren't enough to get the job done. By providing a natural and precise movement controller powered by our feet, 3dRudder is an incredible development for anyone who needs to do complex tasks with their hands while navigating an instrument or craft.
Accessibility
For people with upper body disabilities, the simple use of a computer keyboard, a mouse, not to mention the joy of playing a video game, can be a challenge, if not a total impossibility. 3dRudder brings an innovative solution to them, by offering a new way to use their feet instead of their hands to control movement, browse the web, use Microsoft Windows-based applications or play PC keyboard video games, thus bridging a previously insurmountable gap thanks to a new and affordable technology device. Combine 3dRudder with voice recognition software and you now have full control of your computer through feet and voice.
As a result, 3dRudder was recently recognized as one of the 2017 CES Innovation Award Honorees in the Computer Accessibility category. It is easy and convenient to use the 3dRudder as a foot operated mouse. Thanks to the 3dRudder Dashboard software, users can simply configure the foot powered 3dRudder with a few clicks to:
• Emulate a computer mouse for using of most software and/or browsing the web
• Emulate a keyboard + mouse for specific application or playing a video game
• Emulate an Xbox gamepad to play specific video games
• Installing and automatically configuring popular video games with one click (ex: Minecraft, World of Tanks, Need for Speed, Counterstrike: GO ...)
