Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to disclose a system for translating physical maneuvers into actions in a virtual computerized environment, comprising first processing means for hosting said virtual computerized actions; at least one human sized controller for controlling said virtual actions, comprising haptic rebounding cushion, having at least one sensor for sensing the physical position of the exerciser; at least two support bars extending upwards from the surface of said cushion, such that they may support the full weight of an adult while suspended in the air; second processing means in communication with said first processing means and said at least one sensor, such that said second processing means may exchange data and instructions with said at least one sensor and said first processing means; wherein said controller provides a tangible realistic sensation of said actions conducted in said virtual computerized environment.
