[

In the conventional experience apparatus according to this configuration, while the image is provided by the video apparatus 10, the boarding apparatus 20 causes pitching, yawing, and rolling in the boarding unit 21. FIG.

Here, the second mechanism 22b is supported by the first mechanism 22a and rotates together with the first mechanism 22a with respect to the first axis A11 so that the second axis A12 .

The third mechanism 22c is supported by the second mechanism 22b and rotates about the second axis A12 together with the second mechanism 22b so that the second mechanism 22b is rotated through the second mechanism 22b, Is supported by the first mechanism 22a and is also rotated with respect to the first axis A11 together with the first mechanism 22a and the second mechanism 22b and is rotated with respect to the third axis A13 .

The boarding part 21 is supported by the third mechanism 22c and rotated together with the third mechanism 22c with reference to the third axis A13 so that the boarding part 21 is rotated by the third mechanism 22c, 2 mechanism 22b so as to be rotated with respect to the second axis A12 together with the second mechanism 22b and the third mechanism 22c and the third mechanism 22c and the second Is supported by the first mechanism (22a) through a mechanism (22b), so that the first axis (A11), together with the first mechanism (22a), the second mechanism (22b) and the third mechanism .

However, in such a conventional experience apparatus, the boarder 20 is formed to have the same degree of freedom of movement as that experienced by the experiencer than the degree of freedom of movement of the boarder 20 to the experimenter, and the motion of the boarder 20 The number, the size, the weight and the cost of the boarding machine 20 are increased and the resources (for example, space, power, operation cost) required for operating the boarding machine 20 are increased .

The yaw axis (the first axis A11) of the boarding instrument 20 coaxially coincides with the yaw axis of the experimenter (axis including the center of gravity of the experimenter and crossing the upper body and lower body of the experimenter) There is a problem in that it is not arranged. That is, as the boarding section 21 is formed so that a plurality of experiential persons can be carried at one time, the yawing axis Ay of the experimentee is not always arranged coaxially with the first axis A11. The second mechanism 22b is formed to be supported by the first mechanism 22a so that the boarding portion 21 is rotated with respect to the second axis A12, The yaw axis Ay of the user is rotated with respect to the first axis A11 with the yaw axis Ay inclined with respect to the first axis A11. Accordingly, there is a problem in that the visual movement in the image and the physical movement actually provided do not correspond to each other, so that the experiencer feels a sense of heterogeneity and the immersion degree is lowered, thereby deteriorating the reality.

In this embodiment, the number, size, weight, and manufacturing cost of the driving unit 220, May be formed to cause pitching and yawing in the boarding section 210 to reduce resources (e.g., required space, power consumption, operating cost) have. That is, the driving unit 220 may be rotatable about a first rotation axis A21 perpendicular to the gravitational direction and a second rotation axis A22 perpendicular to the first rotation axis A21.

The driving unit 220 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the first rotation axis A21 is disposed below the user and the second rotation axis A22 is coaxial with the yaw axis Ay of the user As shown in FIG.

More specifically, the driving unit 220 includes a base 222 mounted on a support (e.g., paper) for supporting the driving unit 220, and a base 222 supported by the base 222, A first actuator 223 supported by the base 222 and generating a driving force necessary for rotating the first rotating body 224, a second actuator 223 supported by the base 222 and generating a driving force necessary for rotating the first rotating body 224, And is rotatable in both directions with respect to the second rotary shaft (A22) while being rotatable in both directions with respect to the first rotary shaft (A21) together with the first rotary member (224) A second rotating body 226 supporting the bottom 212 of the first rotating body 210 and a second rotating body 226 supported by the first rotating body 224 to rotate the first rotating shaft A21 together with the first rotating body 224 (226) that generates a driving force necessary for rotation of the second rotating body (226) Data 225 may be included.

The bottom 212 of the boarding unit 210 is supported by the second rotating body 226 and rotatable about the second rotating shaft A22 together with the second rotating body 226, Is supported by the first rotating body 224 through the second rotating body 226 and rotated together with the first rotating body 224 and the second rotating body 226 about the first rotating axis A21 .

The base 222 may include a frame portion 222a fixed to the support member and arm portions 222b and 222c protruding from the frame portion 222a toward the user.

The arm portions 222b and 222c may include a first arm portion 222b and a second arm portion 222c facing each other in a direction perpendicular to gravity.

The first arm 222b may include the first actuator 223.

The first rotating body 224 may extend along the first rotating axis A21 and may include a first rotating body end portion, a first rotating body stopping portion, and a first rotating body other end portion.

The one end of the first rotating body may be rotatably supported by the first arm 222b.

The other end of the first rotating body may be rotatably supported by the second arm 222c.

One end of the first rotating body may be connected to the first actuator 223.

The first rotating body 224 is supported by the first arm 222b and the second arm 222c so that the first rotating shaft A21 is perpendicular to the gravity .

The first rotating body stopper may include a shaft hole into which the second rotating body 226 is inserted, and the shaft hole may extend in a direction perpendicular to the first rotating shaft A21.

In addition, the first rotating body interrupter may include a case in which the second actuator 225 is accommodated.

The second rotating body 226 may extend along the second rotating shaft A22 and may include one end of the second rotating body and the other end of the second rotating body.

The one end of the second rotating body may be inserted into the shaft hole and be rotatably supported by the shaft hole.

The one end of the second rotating body may be connected to the second actuator 225.

The other end of the second rotatable member may be fastened perpendicularly to the bottom 212 at the center of the bottom 212 of the boarding unit 210.

Here, the second rotating body 226 may be formed to be orthogonal to the first rotating shaft A21 as the second rotating shaft A22 is supported by the shaft shaft hole.

The second rotating body 226 is formed such that the other end of the second rotating body is orthogonal to the bottom 212 at the center of the bottom 212 of the boarding portion 210, The floor 210 of the boarding section 210 is formed at a central portion of the floor 212 so that the floorboard 212 of the boarding section 210 is connected to the yining The second rotation axis A22 may be disposed coaxially with the yaw axis Ay of the user as the rotation axis A is formed orthogonally to the axis Ay.

The first rotating shaft 224 is positioned on the opposite side of the boarding portion 210 with respect to the second rotating body 226 so that the first rotating shaft A21 is rotated On the opposite side of the experiencer. That is, the first rotation axis A21 may be positioned below the experiencer.

The control device (not shown) is formed of a server or a computer electrically connected to the producer (not shown), the video device 100 and the boarding device 200, A driving control unit for controlling the driving unit 220, and an integrated control unit for controlling the image control unit and the driving control unit.

The producer (not shown) forms the time line, the first database DB1 and the second database DB2 so that the video and the motion correspond to each other in the video and motion forming step .

The image control unit, the driving control unit, and the integrated control unit may control the image and motion in the video and motion providing steps through the video device 100 and the boarding device 200, The video device 100 and the boarding device 200 may be configured to provide video and motion to the user based on the time line on the basis of the base DB1 and the second database DB2.

That is, the integrated control unit sequentially outputs the first through n-th time stamps (T1 through Tn) to the video control unit and the drive control unit at predetermined intervals (for example, 10 ms) And the like.

Then, the image control unit substitutes the time stamp received from the integrated control unit into the first database (DB1) to correspond to the time stamp received from the integrated control unit among the first through n-th images (P1 through Pn) And transmits the selected image to the image display unit.

Then, the drive control unit substitutes the time stamp received from the integrated control unit into the second database (DB2), and stores the time stamp received from the integrated control unit among the first through the n-th motions (M1 through Mn) And may select the corresponding motion and send the selected motion to the driving unit 220.

On the other hand, the control device (not shown) may be formed to rotate the first rotating body 224 within a predetermined angular range, so that the experiencing person is prevented from colliding with the support body.

Specifically, since the second rotary shaft 226 is located coaxially with the yaw axis Ay of the user, the second rotary shaft 226 is rotated 360 degrees (once) or more to improve the realism through continuous rotation Even if rotated, the experimenter may not collide with the support.

Accordingly, the control device (not shown) may be configured to rotate the second rotating body 226 by 360 degrees (one time) or more and 360 degrees (one time) or more.

The first rotatable body 224 is formed adjacent to the support body so that the rider 210 can easily enter and exit the user and the first rotatable body 224 rotates about the rider 210, The user is rotated 90 degrees or more with reference to the reference axis (a virtual axis extending from the intersection of the first rotation axis A21 and the second rotation axis A22 in the opposite direction of gravity) As Can be collided.

In consideration of this, the control device (not shown) may be formed such that the first rotating body 224 can rotate at less than 90 degrees with respect to the reference axis As.

That is, an imaginary plane including the reference axis As and perpendicular to the first rotation axis A21 is referred to as a reference plane, and a virtual plane having an acute angle with the reference axis As about the intersection on the reference plane (A22), which rotates together with the first rotating body (224), is positioned on the reference axis (As) on the reference plane and the second axis And may be formed to be rotatable about the first rotation axis A21 within a range between the limit axes Alim.

Preferably, the control device (not shown) controls the first rotating body 224 so that the first rotating body 224 rotates with respect to the reference shaft (not shown) so as to prevent the hands of the experiencing person from colliding with the supporting body, As can be rotated to 70 degrees or less. That is, the angle between the reference axis As and the limit axis Alim may be 70 degrees.

When the first rotating body 224 is rotated, the second rotating shaft A22 is rotated between the reference axis As and the limit axis Alim to more securely prevent the experimenter from colliding with the support body. It is more preferable that a stopper is formed on the driving unit 220 so as to prevent it from being out of the range. The stopper may be formed in the form of a retainer that contacts the boarding portion 210 and prevents the boarding portion 210 from being excessively rotated. The stopper 210 contacts the first rotation axis A21, Or may be formed in the form of a brake for preventing excessive rotation.

On the other hand, as the first rotating body 224 is rotated within the predetermined angular range, the experimenter receives a stimulus that seems to be rotated beyond the predetermined angular range with respect to the first rotational axis A21 There may be limitations.

In view of this, the control device (not shown) may be configured such that even if the first rotator 224 is rotated within the predetermined angular range, the experimenter receives a stimulus that seems to be rotated beyond the predetermined angular range .

Specifically, as a result of the experiment, the experimenter perceives the movement of the experimenter through visual stimulation and physical stimulation. When the physical stimulation is received at a predetermined speed or more while recognizing the visual field, the physical stimulation is recognized, If physical stimulation is received below the determined rate, it turns out that the physical stimulus is not perceivable.

Using this, in the case of the present embodiment, the video apparatus 100 can be used as a video game apparatus such as a head mount display (HMD) mounted on a head of an experiencer, And the control device (not shown) is formed so as to allow the experimenter to rotate the first rotating body 224 in the predetermined angle range with respect to the first rotation axis A21 And may be formed to provide an image rotated at an angle larger than the determined angle range.

The control device (not shown) controls the angular velocity of the first rotating body 224 to be lower than a predetermined angular velocity (an experience observer blinded by the video apparatus 100) within the predetermined angle range only in the acceleration state or deceleration state The angular velocity of the angular velocity at which the rotation can be sensed only by the physical stimulation).

On the other hand, since the passenger 200 is formed such that the experimenter is rotatable only by the first rotating body 224 and the second rotating body 226, there is a limit in that the experiencing person is subject to a stimulus to be rolled .

In consideration of this, the control device (not shown) may be formed to receive a stimulus such that the experimenter is rolled by the first rotating body 224 and the second rotating body 226 as well.

Specifically, the control device (not shown) rotates the second rotating body 226 at an angular velocity lower than a predetermined angular velocity with reference to the second rotation axis A22, so that a predetermined first position (The position in which the direction is parallel to the first rotational axis A21) or a predetermined second position (the front-rear direction of the experimenter is not parallel to the first rotational axis A21 and is included in the plane perpendicular to the first rotational axis A21 The first rotating body 224 may be rotated to rotate at a predetermined angular speed or more with respect to the first rotating shaft A21.

The control device (not shown) is a device that allows the second rotator 226 to display the image on the basis of the second rotation axis A22 The first rotating body 224 rotates at an angular velocity lower than the angular velocity determined at the first rotational position and the second rotating body 226 at the second position, And may be formed to provide an image in which the experient is rolled when rotated above a predetermined angular velocity on the basis of the first rotational axis A21.

Hereinafter, the operational effects of the experiential device according to the present embodiment will be described.

That is, the time line, the first database DB1 and the second database DB2 formed in advance by the producer (not shown) are stored in the simulator, and when the experient is boarded on the simulator, Can be started.

When the experience starts, the simulator displays an image that experiences the first space through the video device 100, the boarding device 200, and the controller (not shown) according to the basic control method shown in FIG. 6 And motion to the experiencer.

That is, in the basic control method first step S11, the integrated control unit may store the first time stamp T1, which is the first time stamp, as the target time stamp Tk.

Then, in the basic control method second step S12, the integrated control unit may simultaneously send the target time stamp Tk stored in the integrated control unit to the image control unit and the drive control unit.

Then, in step 3-1-1 (S1311) of the basic control method, the image control unit transmits the target time stamp Tk received through the basic control method second step S12 to the first database DB1 ) To select an image Pk corresponding to the target time stamp Tk among the first to n-th images P1 to Pn and send the selected image Pk to the image display unit.

Then, in the basic control method 3-1-2 (S1312), the image display unit can reproduce the image Pk received through the basic control method 3-1-1 (S1311).

On the other hand, in step 3-2-1 (S1321) of the basic control method, the drive control unit transmits the target time stamp Tk received through the basic control method second step S12 to the second database DB2, And selects a motion Mk corresponding to the target time stamp Tk among the first to nth motions M1 to Mn and sends the selected motion Mk to the driving unit 220. [

Then, in the basic control method 3-2-2 (S1322), the driving unit 220 can perform the motion Mk received through the basic control method 3-2-1 (S1321) have.

On the other hand, if at least one of the basic control method 3-1-2 (S1312) and the basic control method 3-2-2 (S1322) is ended, in the basic control method fourth step S14, The integrated control unit can judge whether or not the experience is finished. That is, the integrated control unit may determine whether the target time stamp Tk stored in the integrated control unit matches the n-th time stamp Tn, which is the final time stamp.

If it is determined that the experience has ended (the target time stamp Tk coincides with the n-th time stamp Tn) in the basic control method fourth step S14, the experience ends and the experience is ongoing (If the target time stamp Tk does not match the nth time stamp Tn), the process may proceed to the fifth step S15 of the basic control method, which will be described later.

In the basic control method fifth step S15, it is determined whether the predetermined time (interval between timestamps) has elapsed after the integrated control unit has sent the target time stamp Tk in the basic control method second step S12 If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the process may proceed to the sixth step S16 of the basic control method to be described later.

In the basic control method step S16, the integrated control unit may store the next time stamp of the time stamp previously stored as the target time stamp Tk as a new target time stamp Tk. For example, if the time stamp previously stored as the target time stamp Tk is the first time stamp T1, the second time stamp Tk may be stored as a new target time stamp Tk.

Then, after the sixth step S16 of the basic control method is completed, the basic control method may be returned to the second step S12.

That is, the basic control method first step S11 is performed once at the start of the experience, and the basic control method is performed in the second to the sixth basic control methods until the video and the motion corresponding to the final time stamp are provided. (S12 to S16) are repeatedly executed and then terminated.

Then, while being controlled in accordance with the basic control method, the simulator is capable of executing the first auxiliary control method shown in Fig. 7 even if the first rotating body 224 is rotated within the predetermined angular range, It is possible to provide a stimulus to the user who seems to be rotated beyond the determined angle range.

That is, in the first sub-control method first step S21, it is determined whether or not the pitching state is present, and if it is the pitching state, the process may proceed to the first sub-control method second step S22 which will be described later.

In the first auxiliary control method second step S22, it is determined whether or not an acceleration or deceleration situation exists. If the acceleration or deceleration situation is present, the process proceeds to the first auxiliary control method 3-1 (S231) Otherwise, the process may proceed to the first auxiliary control method step 3-2 (S232).

In the first auxiliary control method (3-1) (S231), the boarding instrument 200 rotates the first rotating body 224 with respect to the first rotating axis A21 in the predetermined angle range The angular velocity of the angular velocity of the imaging device 100 is higher than the predetermined angular velocity, and the imaging device 100 can provide the image to which the pitching is applied.

In the first auxiliary control method step 3-2 (S232), the boarding instrument 200 stops the first rotating body 224 or rotates it at an angular velocity less than the predetermined angular velocity to prepare for the next operation , The video apparatus 100 may provide an image to which pitching is applied.

If the first auxiliary control method 3-1 (S231) or the first auxiliary control method 3-2 (S232) is completed, the first auxiliary control method may be returned to the first step S21 .

While the simulator is being controlled in accordance with the basic control method and the first auxiliary control method, the simulator may control the first and second rotators 224, 226) to the experiencer.

That is, in the second auxiliary control method first step S31, it is determined whether or not the pitching is required. If pitching is required, the process proceeds to the second sub-control method 2-1 (S321) The process may proceed to the second sub-control method 2-2 (S322) to be described later.

In the second auxiliary control method 2-1 (S321), it is determined whether or not yawing is necessary. If yawing is necessary, the process proceeds to the second auxiliary control method 4-1 (341), which will be described later, The process may proceed to the second auxiliary control method step 3-1 (S331) to be described later.

In the second auxiliary control method step 2 - 2 (S322), it is determined whether yawing is necessary. If yawing is necessary, the process proceeds to the second auxiliary control method step 4-4 (S344) It may proceed to the second auxiliary control method step 3-2 (S332) which will be described later.

In the second auxiliary control method 3-1 (S331), it is determined whether or not the rolling is necessary. If rolling is required, the process proceeds to the second auxiliary control method 4-2 (S342), which will be described later, The process may proceed to the second subordinate control method step 4-3 (S343) which will be described later.

In the second auxiliary control method step 3-2 (S332), it is determined whether or not the rolling is necessary. If the rolling is necessary, the process proceeds to the second auxiliary control method step 4-5 (S345) The process may proceed to the second auxiliary control method 4 - 6 (S346) which will be described later.

The second auxiliary control method 4-1 step 341 is a step of simultaneously providing pitching and yawing to the experiencing person, and the boarding instrument 200 includes the first rotating body 224 ) At an angular velocity equal to or higher than the predetermined angular velocity, and rotate the second rotary body 226 at an angular velocity equal to or higher than the predetermined angular velocity on the basis of the second rotary axis A22. The video apparatus 100 may provide an image to which pitching and yawing are applied.

The second auxiliary control method step 4-2 (S342) is a step of simultaneously providing pitching and rolling to the user, and may be performed in two steps.

That is, the boarding instrument 200 rotates the second rotary body 226 to the predetermined second position at an angular velocity lower than the predetermined angular velocity on the basis of the second rotation axis A22, The video apparatus 100 can provide an image in which yawing (rotation of the second rotating body 226) is excluded.

Next, the boarding instrument 200 rotates the first rotating body 224 at an angular velocity equal to or higher than the predetermined angular velocity on the basis of the first rotating axis A21, and the video apparatus 100 performs pitching and rolling Can be provided.

The second auxiliary control method in step 4-3 (S343) is a step of providing pitching to the user. The boarding device 200 controls the first rotating body 224 to rotate about the first rotating axis A21 It can be rotated at an angular velocity of more than a predetermined angular velocity. The video apparatus 100 may provide an image to which pitching is applied.

The second auxiliary control method in the fourth or fourth step (S344) is a step of providing yawing to the user, wherein the boarding device (200) rotates the second rotating body (226) on the basis of the second rotation axis (A22) It can be rotated at an angular velocity higher than a predetermined angular velocity. In addition, the video apparatus 100 may provide an image to which yawing is applied.

The second auxiliary control method step 4-5 (S345) is a step of providing rolling to the experient, which can be performed in two steps.

That is, the boarding instrument 200 can rotate the second rotary body 226 to the predetermined first position at an angular velocity lower than the predetermined angular velocity on the basis of the second rotation axis A22 have. In addition, the video apparatus 100 can provide an image in which yawing (rotation of the second rotating body 226) is excluded.

Then, the boarding instrument 200 may rotate the first rotating body 224 at an angular velocity equal to or higher than the predetermined angular velocity with respect to the first rotating axis A21. In addition, the video apparatus 100 may provide an image to which rolling is applied.

The second auxiliary control method is a step of providing neither the pitching, yawing, or rolling to the experiential person in steps 4 to 6, wherein the boarding instrument 200 is provided with the first rotating body 224 and the second rotating body 226 may be stopped or rotated at an angular velocity less than the predetermined angular velocity to prepare for the next operation. In addition, the video apparatus 100 may provide an image in which pitching, yawing, and rolling are excluded.

Since it is difficult to simultaneously provide yawing and rolling at the first rotating body 224 and the second rotating body 226, the second auxiliary control method eliminates the situation of simultaneously providing yawing and rolling, A producer (not in the city) should be excluded from providing yawing and rolling at the same time.

The experiential device according to the present embodiment includes the simulator for providing images and motions to the experiencer so as to allow the experient to experience through visual stimulation and physical stimulation, thereby preventing the experimenter from feeling a sense of heterogeneity, The reality can be improved.

Further, as the image and the motion are provided in correspondence with each other, the reality can be further improved.

The number of components, size, weight, and weight of the boarding instrument 200 can be adjusted by rotating the first and second rotation shafts A21 and A22, The manufacturing cost is reduced, and resources (for example, required space, power consumption, operating cost) for operating the boarding vehicle 200 can be reduced.

Since the first rotating shaft A21 is disposed below the experimenter and the second rotating shaft A22 is formed coaxially with the yaw axis Ay of the user, For example, the experience can be optimized for a flight mode in which a first-person superhero or a skydiver becomes an aerobatic flight, or a lay-back mode in which an experienced person can enjoy first-person slides can do.

In particular, in the case of the flight mode or the layback mode, most of the images provided by the imaging device 100 are images to which pitching and yawing are applied. Therefore, unlike the present embodiment, Even if the third rotating body for rolling the rotating body 224 and the second rotating body 226 as well as the boarding portion 210 is further included, the third rotating body is not used and waste of resources occurs, In the embodiment, the boarding instrument 200 includes only the first rotating body 224 and the second rotating body 226 so that resource waste can be prevented.

As the first rotation axis A21 is disposed below the user, the upper body and lower body of the user can be pitched in the same direction during pitching in the flight mode or the layback mode, thereby realizing improved realism. That is, for example, in a situation in which a person is raised and then suddenly descended, both the upper body and lower body of the subject can be lowered to fit the situation. On the other hand, unlike the present embodiment, for example, when the first rotation axis A21 is disposed on the waist side of the experient, in the pitching in the flight mode or the layback mode, So that the reality may be degraded. That is, for example, in the case of a situation where the subject is raised and then rapidly lowered, the subject's upper body is lowered according to the situation, but the lower body of the subject can be raised unlike the situation.

Since the second rotation axis A22 is always arranged coaxially with the yaw axis Ay of the user, the image and the motion coincide with each other during yawing in the flight mode or the layback mode, .

Meanwhile, since the first rotation axis A21 is disposed below the user, the user can easily enter and exit the boarding unit 210 without being disturbed by the first rotatable member 224.

Since the first rotating shaft A21 is formed to rotate within the predetermined angular range, the boarding instrument 200 and the controller (not shown) can prevent the experimenter from colliding with the support have.

The simulator is formed so that even though the first rotating body 224 is rotated within the predetermined angular range, the experiencing person receives a stimulus that seems to be rotated beyond the predetermined angular range, It is possible to prevent a decrease in the real feeling due to the limitation of the rotation angle of the arm 224.

In addition, since the simulator is configured to receive a stimulus such that the experimenter is rolled by only the first rotator 224 and the second rotator 226, the simulator can be more experienced than the degree of freedom of movement of the boarder 200 The degree of freedom of motion perceived by the user is increased, and the reality can be improved at a low cost.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the boarding part 210 may prevent the user from colliding with the main surface structure during the experience (Not shown).

9-13, a ride unit 210 of an experiential device according to another embodiment of the present invention further includes a casing 218 for receiving the pillars 214 and the safety bars 216 The casing 218 is formed in the shape of a hollow cylinder so as to surround the front, rear, left, and right sides of the user, and a door for entering and exiting the experimenter can be formed at one side of the casing 218.

An upper portion of the casing 218 is formed to be open, and a fan 217 for generating a wind that flows through the user can be provided above the casing 218. Here, the fan 217 is provided for further enhancing the realism. In the flight mode, air is blown toward the experiencer to generate wind from the head side to the leg side of the experiencer, thereby giving the stimulus that the experimenter is actually flying, In the back mode, air is sucked from the side of the user to generate wind from the leg side of the user to the head side, so that the user can actually give a stimulus that seems to slide.

A ventilation hole 219 may be formed in the lower portion of the casing 218 to smoothly flow the air generated by the fan 217.

9 to 13, the casing 218 is formed in the form of a hollow cylinder so that a space exists between the casing 218 and the user. However, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, The casing 218 may be formed in the shape of a soot in close contact with the user. The safety bar 216 may be omitted.

In this case, not only can the experiente provide sensibility as if it is an actual superhero, but it is possible to prevent the experiencing person from colliding with the inner wall surface of the casing 218 and suffering injury.

In addition, it is possible to restrict the movement of the experimenter to more effectively prevent the experimenter from colliding with the supporter, thereby increasing the rotation angle of the first rotatable body 224 to further improve the reality.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, the passenger 200 is configured such that the experimenter is rotatable about the first rotation axis A21 and the second rotation axis A22, but as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, The boarding device 200 may be configured to be rotatable relative to the first rotation axis A21 and the second rotation axis A22 while being reciprocatable in the direction of the second rotation axis A22.

That is, the driving unit 220 drives the boarding unit 210 in a predetermined distance range (for example, 0 (zero) or more and 10 cm or less) on the basis of the second rotating body 226, And a third actuator reciprocating in the direction of the rotation axis A22.

In this case, although the manufacturing cost is somewhat increased, the degree of freedom of motion is added, and a vertical rise or a vertical fall situation can be produced, so that the reality can be further improved.

However, as the boarding section 210 reciprocates within the predetermined range, there may be a limit to receiving the stimulus as if the experimenter is moving beyond the predetermined range. In consideration of this, even if the boarding section 210 reciprocates within the predetermined range, the experient can be formed to receive a stimulus that seems to move beyond the predetermined range.

Specifically, as described above, the experiential person perceives the physical stimulus when receiving the physical stimulus at a predetermined speed or higher in a state in which the visual field is obscured, (210) is formed so as to be able to view only images provided in the vehicle (100), and when the boarding section (210) reciprocates within the predetermined distance range, the boarding section As shown in FIG. In addition, the boarding section 210 can determine whether a person who is blinded by the imaging apparatus 100 can experience a reciprocating motion only by physical stimulation within a predetermined distance range only in the acceleration state or the deceleration state The smallest speed among the speeds).

On the other hand, in the case of this embodiment, images and motions determined in advance according to the flow of time are provided regardless of the will of the experient, but images and motions corresponding to the will of the experient can be provided.

16, the experiential device further includes an operation device 300 that receives input data from the experiencer, and the video device 100 provides the video corresponding to the input data to the experiencer And the boarding device 200 may be configured to provide a movement corresponding to the input data to the experiencer.

Here, the video is formed of game contents based on the input data by the producer (not shown), and the operation device 300 may be formed of, for example, a joystick, a haptic device, a button, or the like.

The operating device 300 may include a vibrating device and a heating device, for example, so that the user may be stimulated to actually fire in a shooting situation in which reaction and heat are sensed in the hand.

However, as shown in FIG. 16, the boarding section 210 may be formed in such a manner that an experienced person is seated on the saddle 215, . In this case, for example, in a situation where the helicopter is operated, the reality can be further improved.

Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, since the first rotation axis A21 is positioned below the user, the center of gravity of the boarding instrument 200 can be eccentrically oriented toward the user with respect to the first rotation axis A21. Accordingly, a considerable torque is required to rotate the first rotating body 224, damage to the first actuator 223 occurs, and it is difficult to control the rotational motion with respect to the first rotating axis A21 . In consideration of this, the boarding instrument 200 may further include a count weight for moving the center of gravity of the boarding instrument 200 toward the first rotation axis A21, although not separately shown. That is, the driving unit 220 includes a count weight extending from any one of the first rotating body 224, the second rotating body 226, and the boarding unit 210, The center of gravity of the weight may be positioned on the opposite side of the boarding portion 210 with respect to the first rotation axis A21.

On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment, the creator is formed to provide images and motions defined in advance through the software to the experiencer. That is, the environment experienced by the experiencer is a virtual reality previously produced by the manufacturer, not a real environment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the experient can be formed to experience the actual environment. That is, the producer (not shown) may be formed as an avatar that moves in a first space, not in software, and collects images and movements and transmits them to the simulator.
