I have my own idea regarding 3d walkers...


A base of rollers, much like the one in disclosure would be built..
The user would wear a digital compass for direction info.  Finally
sensors would be placed on the feet of the user.  This combination
alone would create a rather jerky movement, but perhaps with a more
complex system, like strapping two sensors to each foot, and having
each sensor measure the amount of pressure, smoother and more accurate
movement could be achieved.
