1. A locomotion system for use with a virtual environment technology, the system comprising:
a platform configured to support a user; a harness support assembly coupled to the platform and extending upwardly from the platform, wherein the harness support assembly includes a support halo positioned above the platform and extending about a vertical central axis; and a safety harness configured to be worn by the user, wherein the safety harness includes a low friction interface structure configured to slidingly engage the support halo; wherein the interface structure is vertically separate from the support halo and configured to move circumferentially relative to the support halo while being vertically supported by the support halo.
