Abstract
The current invention is an apparatus for and a method of producing a virtual reality effect of changing acceleration direction and magnitude by rotating a subject relative to a center axis to produce a centrifugal force, rotating the subject relative to a second axis perpendicular to centrifugal force and rotating the subject relative to a third axis perpendicular to the axis perpendicular to centrifugal force, and changing the magnitude of the centrifugal force. As a consequence the subject will perceive the acceleration upon his center of mass as changing in magnitude and angle. It is further enhanced by projecting a simulated image on a screen which is rotating in the same frame of reference as the subject.

Produce an acceleration on a mass within a room which will vary in amplitude and direction relative to the room. - In FIG. 1 an acceleration on a mass located in
simulator room 70, such as a person setting inacceleration seat 140, is represented by netsimulator acceleration vector 180, which varies in magnitude and varies in direction relative tosimulator room 70. The variation in magnitude is produced as a consequence of the varying angular rotation w of therotating base 40. The variation in direction r2 is produced by rotating simulatorroom support platform 90 relative to rotating base by causing simulator 1stangular orientation motor 50. The variation in direction r1 relative tosimulator room 70 is produced by causing simulator 2ndangular orientation motor 80 to rotatesimulator room 70 around room rotating axis arms 100 a and 100 b. - The variation in magnitude of the simulator vector can also be accomplished by varying the distance d which is distance that the simulator is from the center of rotation around
platform motor 20 and the simulator room's center ofmass 70. This is accomplished by room screw adjustdrive 150. - In FIG. 2 an
acceleration seat 170 is secured tosimulator room 70. Thesimulation video screen 190 projects a simulated event which has an associated simulated acceleration vector S associated with it in time. The simulated event may be a prerecorded on video tape, an animated film or a computer program etc.. - In FIG. 3 a reference frame XYZ is displayed which is rotating relative to some other reference frame. A simulated acceleration vector S is the composite of the gravitational vector G and the centrifugal force vector A i.e., S=A+G.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the resultant transformation S to S′ if one angle of orientation is changed by angle r1, i.e., the x axis of XYZ is rotated an angle r1 about the z axis. The simulated acceleration vector appears to change directions in the frame XYZ. If a rotation is then produced by rotating an angle r2 around the Z axis of the XYZ frame then an orientation of any angle can be obtained.

Computer 140 interfaces to the motors and video screens throughinputs 120 andoutputs 130. A joy stick (not shown) could be interfaced to the computer throughinputs 120 and an existing video game could be modified to produce an acceleration vector parameter to be used by the computer to control the simulation acceleration vector S. An acceleration sensor could be interfaced as an input device to provide feed back as to the actual acceleration produced on a mass within the simulator room. - While my above description contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as an exemplification of one preferred embodiment thereof. Many other variations are possible. The scope of the invention should be determined not by the embodiment(s) illustrated, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
