Early Access Software

Get involved with this software as it develops.

Note: This Early Access software is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to use this software in its current state, then you should wait to see if it progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We are launching in Early Access because we want to gather community feedback while we continue to expand the software's functionality. Currently, the core locomotion mechanics are solid and fully playable, but we plan to add highly requested features such as saving custom configuration templates and expanding localization options. Early Access allows us to prioritize development based on what our users need most.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“We estimate the Early Access phase will last roughly 4 to 6 months. This gives us the necessary time to implement the remaining features, polish the user interface.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include a robust system for saving and loading custom input templates, allowing users to quickly switch profiles for different games. Additionally, we plan to add full localization for multiple languages and further refine the overall user experience based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version is fully functional and stable. Users can already set up and use the software to emulate movement in VR games without any issues. The core mechanics and movement emulation features are complete and ready for daily use.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, we have no plans to change the price. The price will remain exactly the same during and after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback is vital to us. We will actively communicate with our users through our official Discord server and the Steam Discussions board. We will listen closely to bug reports, feature requests, and general feedback left in Steam reviews to guide our future updates and improvements.”

About This Software

Step Into Your Favorite Worlds. Unleash Your Body's Potential.

The Problem: Pushing a plastic joystick with your thumb to walk in VR shatters immersion. Your eyes see you sprinting across a virtual world, but your body knows you are standing completely still. This sensory mismatch pulls you out of the experience and destroys the illusion of actually "being there."

The Solution: BodyWalk VR Motion Mapper is a universal input translator. It maps your real-life physical movements (leaning, stepping, jumping) AND your VR controller gestures directly into standard game inputs. Whether you are using your body to walk or mapping motion controls to flat-screen PC games, your brain finally gets the physical interaction it expects. It deepens your immersion and works instantly using the hardware you already own.

🧠 Why You Need This App

🏃 True Physical Immersion

By physically moving your body to walk or run, your real-world actions sync perfectly with what you see in the headset. This physical grounding makes virtual worlds feel incredibly tangible, allowing for hours of dynamic, active gameplay.

🙌 Free Your Hands for Action

Thumbsticks keep your fingers busy with navigation. Let your legs and torso handle the locomotion so your hands are 100% free for combat, aiming, and interacting with the world.

🪄 Ultimate Flat2VR & Mod Mapping

Deepen your experience in flat-screen PC games or VR mods (like UEVR or Flat2VR) that weren't natively designed for motion controls. BodyWalk allows you to map your VR controller swings, gestures, and physical squats directly to standard Xbox button presses. Swing your arm to attack or squat to crouch in-game! The best part? This requires absolutely ZERO additional hardware—just the VR headset and controllers you already have.

🔌 100% Universal Plug & Play

Because this app maps your physical motion to standard XInput (Gamepad) or WASD (Keyboard) inputs, it works instantly with almost every game. No need for game developers to write custom code. If a game supports an Xbox controller or keyboard, you can play it with your body!

🎮 Play Your Way (Endless Mapping Possibilities)

Whether you want a casual lean-to-walk experience with your phone, or you own a premium VR treadmill, this app unlocks your hardware's full potential.

📱 1. Lean Locomotion (The easiest way to start!)

Hardware: Just 1 Smartphone.

Strap your phone to your chest. Its rotation acts as a virtual joystick. A slight lean gives you a precise slow walk; a deep lean transitions you seamlessly into a full sprint. Move smoothly through virtual worlds just by leaning your body!

🚶 2. Active Stepping

Hardware: 2 Smartphones OR 3 Trackers (SlimeVR, etc.)

Combine the smoothness of leaning with the physical immersion of walking in place. Leaning controls the direction, but you must physically step in place to generate speed. Get ready for a real, engaging workout!

♾️ 3. Unlock VR Treadmills

Hardware: Software Only (Optional: 1 Phone for strafing)

Manual VR treadmills are fantastic, but they often restrict backwards movement, strafing, crouching, or jumping. BodyWalk runs alongside your treadmill to fix these missing features! Physically squat to crouch in-game, or physically jump on the treadmill to trigger a jump!

📺 4. Flat2VR & Mod Mapping

Hardware: VR Headset and Controllers

Play non-VR games modded for VR (like UEVR) or PC games natively mapped to your VR controllers. BodyWalk acts as a universal input translator, mapping your physical controller swings, gestures, and squats directly into virtual Xbox button presses or joystick flicks.

🖥️ 5. No-VR TV Gaming

Hardware: Just 1 Smartphone

You don't even need a VR headset to benefit from BodyWalk! Strap a single smartphone to your chest and play standard PC games in front of your TV or monitor. Your body tilts are mapped directly into WASD keystrokes or Xbox movements, turning traditional flat-screen gaming into an active fitness experience!

⚡ Get Ready to Walk

Join the revolution in VR locomotion. Wishlist BodyWalk VR Motion Mapper today and transform how you play forever!

(Note: For physical locomotion features, this application requires a compatible tracking source, such as HTC Vive Trackers, the free BodyWalkTracker smartphone app, SlimeVR, or owoTrack. VR controller gesture mapping functions independently using your existing VR hardware).
