    Now over one year driving with my 2dof :
    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-2dof-is-better-than-no-movement-at-all.6809/

    it's time to do new one and try to learn what i can do better and easier.
    I was thinking that i made 2dof and use PS4 for gaming and udp port to send data to mini PC:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-MINI-...824954?hash=item4b0552453a:g:-VUAAOSwqfNXnhDy

    Reason is that i want to make small sim what is possible to use living room and after you play you can put it in corner and your better half don't even notice it...
    I was thinking to buy PS vr glasses when they arrive and that why i try to use PS4

    But is it possible to use this kind of pc for xsim?

    half year go by and i'm not sure where the time go... But now i have little more time to get this started. I plan to do different kind of movement in 2 dof. I like the look of that momo 3dof ( ) what is in front page and thinking to do that kind machine in smaller package and if possible it can use under different racingsims. But do someone know the answer in my first question? Can i use this http://www.ebay.com/itm/ULTRA-MINI-...824954?hash=item4b0552453a:g:-VUAAOSwqfNXnhDy for xsimulator?

    How would you get the data out from the PS4 game to SimTools on the other small computer ?

    I'm sorry as this is the first time I hear that it's possible .

    That momo 3dof looks like it has similar movement to tahustvedt's first motion sim in the video in this thread: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/new-lighter-2dof-simulator.11118/
    I also like the look of it and am planning to build something similar. To me it looks like it might provide a better simulation of surge and sway and if I design the center of rotation to be at head position, should reduce the need for motion cancellation in vr. I haven't found any other sims using the same setup so it's neat to see another example.
