VR Minimalist Motion Seat Kickstarter..

check out... Yaw

i backed this kickstarter.

 

the only kickstarter i ever backed.

 

i think its an amazing design

[Haukka81]

Finally design that may be simple enough for mainstream users :)

yes, compact.. doesnt require 6+ power supplies and a reactor to power.

Not sure how you would mount decent sim hardware like a HOTAS, or what would happen to the wires if this is capable of spinning 360 degs, maybe you can restrict its movement?

 

Fun toy, not sure how much use it be for DCS but it's good that somebody is making it.

 

Maybe something 2 or 3 times the size further down the line that you can sit in properly with mounts for seats and pedals etc. :joystick:

I'm sure there are plenty of people here and on the various racing forums that would jump at something like that with a price tag of a couple of grand.

Next level up again would be something fully enclosed with a proper seat and harness that could go inverted :pilotfly: :)

What we need is a quality chair product with mounts, ready to go, out of the box.

Does it have a soap and shampoo support? Filled with water would be a perfect bathtub :D

 

Joking of course, but is not something I would use at home. There is something not seen in the movie and I wondering about the response time. Having a general small size I think the motors are not powerful enough to really synchronize well the image with motion.

Nice for kids and VR roller coaster though.

Bye bye head tracking

They have stated you can set it to restrict the rotation, and I've seen them showing mounts for hotas and the rift cam. this is the 1st proper motion sim with vibration under 2 grand.. that the HC simmer can afford without selling an organ... great times are a head guys

if you want you can use it as an expensive tub after flying im sure :thumbup: but the soap you'll have to provide.. other videos show it being used in a space sim and racing so response is probably pretty good... motors as well seem to do enough for someone up to 400+ pounds.. so unless your pushing max weight i think it will do fine.. again just like the Gen .5 VR headsets not perfect but the 1st decent step at making it mainstream...

No room for it plus the cord issue

[Thick8]

Just can’t see that having the power and fidelity needed for a flight chair. The video with the LARGE guy shows how the seat went into an un-commanded roll a couple of times when the guy leaned a little bit. All they did with him in it was yaw maneuvers. Plus there is no mechanical attachment between the seat and lower unit. If the balls or wheels that are used to move the seat have any slippage (which they will) then you will loose centering.

The chair I am currently building has 2 24v 20a 28:1 dc motors on it. That’s almost a thousand watts nominal with double that under initial and braking movement loads. And I’m bummed that I can’t have more than a 40 degree total roll or pitch because I would need stronger motors.

The good new is you can build a motion platform for well under a grand, and the software to run it is free.

That's the first thing I wondered about myself. With you spinning around in your gyrating salad bowl , what are you seeing in your HMD?

[hannibal]

im not a big person, so i can fit in the bowl.

 

also, you wouldnt turn 360 if your in a vive or rift, you would have to limit the yaw function.

 

but if you want to choke yourself, thats on you not to have common sense.

[frogger]

nice idea but i cant see the small rollers handling a sudden change in direction with a 90kg pilot. i personally think for VR a G seat is the best option. prolonged turns are simulated with pressure rather then spinning on the spot or turning to a point then stopping.

[hannibal]

how much is a G seat?

[frogger]

i dont think there are any on the market yet. only diy. but id expect to pay 800+ for one.

[TomOnSteam]

Great Ideal using rollers imo. What this needs is to be about 40% bigger, and a full bubble that can fit a full hotas and rudder pedals, and so that it can spin a full 360 on all x/y/z axis lol
