A company called Virtuix already developed a treadmill like this called the Omni like 10 years ago. They have released a few home versions of it and some larger ones for arcades. They're still refining it for mass production it seems.

The Virtuix unit looks really uncomfortable, and this one doesn’t require a harness, because it returns you to center

Pretty sure that was basically a plastic bowl you slide around in your socks on.
