  • the motion mechanism 3 and the carrier unit 32 allow the users 5 to experience heave, pitch and roll, simulating motion corresponding to the image information displayed by the display unit 4.
  • the first and second drivers 34, 35 are motor and transmission mechanisms whose structures are simpler than actuators used in the conventional motion simulating device, which lowers costs, and provide larger heaving and pitching effects.
