The inner frame 7, which is the cockpit, is rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. That is, when the screen of the cathode ray tube 11 in the inner frame 7 is rotated to the left and right in the direction of somersault, an image of the left and right somersault and rotation is displayed on the screen of the cathode ray tube 11.

By further operating the steering stick 14, the outer frame 4 is rotated by the electric motor 52 and the drive tire 5 in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG.
That is, when the inner frame 7, which is the cockpit, makes a vertical flip-flop rotation with respect to the screen of the cathode ray tube 11, an image of vertical flip-flop rotation is displayed on the screen of the cathode ray tube 11. It is needless to say that the screen of the cathode ray tube 11 and the rotational movements of the inner and outer frames 7 and 4 do not have to be in a one-to-one correspondence, and it goes without saying that the illusion of human beings may be used. Is.

For example, in the screen of the cathode ray tube 11, even if it is rotated in the left-right direction, the frame 7 in the cockpit is rotated.
Needless to say, it is also possible to make a half rotation in the left-right direction.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to experience a simulated somersault rotation in the left-right direction with respect to the front, and a simulated experience of somersault rotation in the vertical direction from the front. When combined, there is an effect that it is possible to experience a simulated experience as if the player made some 360 degree somersault rotation in all directions.

In other words, the present invention safely operates, for example, when simulating the pilot role of a jet fighter, by manipulating the steering stick, the inner frame, which is the cockpit, is rotated by the drive tire,
When the left and right somersault rotation is performed, the effect that the image of the left and right somersault rotation can be displayed on the screen of the cathode ray tube in the inner frame is obtained.By further operating the steering stick, the outer frame is When the inner frame, which is the cockpit, is turned upside down in the vertical direction as a result of being rotated by the driving tire, the effect of vertical upside down images is displayed on the screen of the cathode ray tube in the inner frame. Will be done.
