CableRobot Simulator, An Advanced Virtual Reality Simulator Suspended by Cables
by Glen Tickle from Laughing Squid on (#NEVC)
CableRobot Simulator is an advanced virtual reality simulator suspended in the air by eight cables capable of moving the user in any direction. The user sits in a carbon fiber cage while wearing a virtual reality headset, and the cables move the cage through space to mimic the action the user is experiencing in virtual reality.
The simulator was developed by a team at the Max Planck Institute which says the CableRobot is only limited by the size of the room it is in.
