1. A motion capture and spatial translation system comprising:
an infinite directional travel platform (IDTP) comprising:
a vessel having an elliptical lower body and a flat upper body; and
a treadmill motion surface encapsulating the vessel, wherein the treadmill motion surface comprises:
an inner layer formed from an elastic material;
an intermediate layer formed from patches having inelastic compression properties that increase a modulus of elasticity and decrease elongation of the elastic material, wherein each of the patches comprises a plurality of fingers projecting in radial symmetry from a circular central area; and
an outer layer formed from the elastic material and having embedded materials that increase a coefficient of friction at an exterior surface of the treadmill motion surface; and
a host frame supporting the IDTP and anchoring wheels that induce movement of the treadmill motion surface relative to the vessel.
