The article examines the problem of designing an omnidirectional virtual reality platform for organizing the processes of movement and user interaction with a virtual scene. To solve these problems, the platform must directly include an omnidirectional movement mechanism based on a sliding platform, a suspended safety mechanism and a controlled upper exoskeleton. Integration of the exoskeleton is necessary to monitor the position of the user’s arms and torso, as well as to create the necessary loads during interaction with virtual objects. The article proposes a structural model of an omnidirectional platform, including a description of the platform, an adaptive safety mechanism and a variant of the upper exoskeleton. The conceptual features of designing an omnidirectional platform and the main approaches to creating an upper exoskeleton are considered. The developed platform can be used in various virtual reality systems, including professional training complexes.
