1. A method of generating an input for controlling an application from movement within a [ concave ] platform of an omnidirectional locomotion system configured to support a user on the [ concave ] platform, the method comprising:

receiving, from at least two or more sensors, movement data from movement within the [ concave ] platform configured to support the user on the [ concave ] platform;

calculating, at a processor, a velocity from the movement data;

calculating, at the processor, a heading from the movement data;

translating, at the processor, the velocity and the heading into ~~2-dimensional Cartesian coordinates~~ [ at least one of a forward, backwards, or sideways movement input values] ;

normalizing, at the processor, the ~~2-dimensional Cartesian coordinates~~ [ at least one of a forward, backwards, or sideways movement input values ] into a minimum to maximum scale range; and

transmitting, the normalized ~~coordinates~~ [ movement input values ] as the input for controlling the application.
