    I have been building/playing 2-3 DOF seat-movers and joy-riders for like 4 years now:

    And today a friend of mine, who had attended to CES a week ago, texted me this link:
    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/346206518/yaw-vr-compact-portable-motion-simulator?ref=7yfnlj
    saying that he tried it and he (to my surprise) LIKED it. He is a good gamer and he has tried my simulators in the past. So I trust his opinion.

    I'm trying to understand weather to believe in what i see and hear. My major concern is speed to weight ratio. Without knowing what type of motors they use it's hard to say. Contacted the developer with questions.

    In summary, I'm just really surprised to see 3DOF wide displacement solution for $1000. One SCN-5 costs me like $400-500...

    Any thoughts appreciated.

    This belongs in the commercial sim section.


    @Pit can you please move this when you have a spare moment.
