[Dev Update] I made "BodyWalk Lite" — an absolutely FREE app that lets you move in VR by physically leaning your body.
Hey everyone!
Quick dev update here. I wanted to make physical VR locomotion accessible to everyone, so I just released BodyWalk Lite — a completely free version of our app that replaces thumbstick movement with physical body leaning.
How it works: You simply strap your smartphone to your chest (or use a dedicated body tracker). The app reads your body's tilt. You lean forward to walk forward, and lean sideways to strafe. It is extremely intuitive, responsive, and precise.
Why use it? It feels amazing in active VR games where you move a lot. Instead of mindlessly pushing a thumbstick, you physically engage your core to move around. It also drastically reduces motion sickness for many people because your physical movement directly triggers your in-game movement.
Compatibility: It works right out of the box with all SteamVR games. We've also included a mapping feature so you can easily map the movement for Flat2VR game mods.
You can download it right now, anytime, absolutely for free and give this movement method a try:

Just testing some new possibilities in Night City...
We recently linked physical movements to the amazing new VR Port mod by dariulone (https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/30093).
On top of that, we've also added the ability to run our "free hands" mod alongside the Luke Ross VR mod and other Flat2VR plugins! This is what it looks like when your hands are finally untied in VR.
If you want to try it out yourself, you can grab our Universal Hands VR mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/30399

How do you like this level of immersion in Cyberpunk 2077?
Hey! We've just released a major update to BodyWalkVR — our accessible, software-based locomotion tool — and we need your help testing it.
Our biggest new feature is the Step Locomotion System. Instead of just leaning your body to move, you can now literally walk in place!
We need testers! 🛠️ BodyWalkVR is in active development and completely free right now. If youd want to try it out, come join our Discord https://discord.gg/kVYjEdJx3e to grab the download and let us know how it feels!
- Step-to-Walk: Strap trackers to your legs/feet (we support SlimeVR, SteamVR trackers, or JoyCons via owoTrack). The app reads your physical stepping cadence and converts it directly into your in-game speed.
- Natural Steering: You still steer naturally by turning your body/chest in the real world.
If you want to physically walk through worlds like Skyrim VR, Cyberpunk 2077, or Forefront, this completely changes the immersion. Our goal is to give you that room-scale treadmill feeling without needing a massive $3,000 piece of hardware.
