Information About

Motion Simulator




A motion simulator is a mechanism that encapsulates riders and creates the effect/feelings of being in a moving object. One example would be a theme park ride which simulates flying by using a Projection Screen in front of the seats you ride in. The whole room is on giant Hydraulics . This causes false Gravitational Forces . The room can rotate along Roll , Pitch and Yaw . Because of this, the combination tricks the mind into thinking it is flying or riding along, when in reality it is stationary. This experience may result in Motion Sickness .


HISTORY

The motion simulator was invented by Disney . The first motion simulator made is Star Tours located at Walt Disney World s Disney MGM Studios .
