PORTABLE AND COMPACT MOTION SIMULATOR

摘要

The portable and compact motion simulator (10) comprises a platform (22), a support base (20), three extensible members (24), and a motion base controller (26). The simulator is in the form of a seat cushion that can be placed on a chair or part of a seat. The motion base controller (26) drives the extensible members (24) to produce rotations about the pitch axis (14), roll axis (16), and translation in the heave (18) direction in synchronization with audio and visual images. The motion simulator system can be used interactively with a computer game and numerous motion simulators can be linked to a common system controller (12) to provide identical synchronous motions to a plurality of users in a theater application.
