Virtuix | Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | REMOTE or Austin, TX | https://www.virtuix.com

Moving around virtual worlds by pushing buttons on a controller feels unnatural and static. To experience true VR, you need to walk around virtual worlds as you do in real life – using your own feet. That’s why we developed the Omni.

Backed by over $35MM in investments from Mark Cuban and 12 venture capital funds, the Omni is the first omni-directional treadmill that lets players walk and run in 360 degrees inside VR games and other virtual worlds. The Omni’s immersive experience takes VR to the next level. The system was even portrayed in Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. Omni Pro, the commercial version of the Omni, and Omni Arena, a multiplayer configuration, have become global entertainment hits. We shipped nearly 4,000 systems to 45 countries, including to major venues like Dave & Buster’s.

We invite you to join our mission to launch Omni One and deliver our popular gaming experience to millions of homes around the world.

We have that saying in Turkey as well. The funny part is, I've been living in Texas in last 4-5 years and Texas is actually a great state, especially if you stick with metroplexes such as DFW or Austin.


Uh... it's a great state to be in ignoring the havok that it causes the rest of the US.

Why is the US science education so bad? Texas. Almost exclusively. Its primary opponent: California. Texas causes similar problems in many other fields, including patent law and taxes.


That's interesting. See my other comment - do you think the etymology is the same (western movies in the case of Norwegian)?

Great! A question, is there any way to generate a custom version Font Awesome where we select icons that we want to use?

As new versions appear, there are many unused icons which adds unnecessary size increase.


Definitely. The guys over at http://www.icnfnt.com/ are a couple of versions back, but the IcoMoon app works pretty darn well: http://icomoon.io/app/

Anyone else have any other favorite options?


FontPrep has built in subset options, which work really well for subsetting FontAwesome.

I'll give away a few free licenses for anyone curious, just hit me up on Twitter. @brianmgonzalez

http://fontprep.com


Thanks for your answer and the project itself! I also know http://fontello.com/ however it seems like these projects are all lagging by a few versions back.



I think that with the new version, you may be able to just modify the icons.yaml file, and re-build.

See https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/blob/master/src/...


Sadly, the icon font files themselves aren't yet driven off that. Just the docs, CSS, LESS, and SCSS!


Check out http://icomoon.io/ for this. It's a great app!


A noble idea and a great site. May I ask you, how did you achieve the dropdown effect?


Tohank you, and f course you can. We used a modified version of http://soulwire.github.io/Makisu/ with a simple fallback for browsers that can't do css 3d transforms.
