That thing they used to run on in Ready Player One is actually referenced pretty often when VR is talked about. Omnidirectional platform or something. I think that black tech youtuber (his name end in HD) also mentioned it in one of his videos when he went to Disney where they are testing a different design but with the same goal.
Honestly, if they made that thing, it would be pretty cool.
There are several companies working on them or even selling them. But they all suck in different ways or are not something that can be used or bought by an average user

Did they make something like in the film? That looked pretty workable.
The closest one I know of is the one that you mentioned
But even they have big drawbacks (slow and very bulky)
