    Please can someone advise on the affect of seat position in a 6 DOF Stewart platform? My question is mostly one of motion perception and how the natural roll/pitch/yaw center relative to the human body alters the way motion is perceived. I've noticed many platforms place the seat above the mobile table whilst others sink the seat below this plane. The former seems easier for a manufacture point of view. Thanks!
