Undoubtedly, the effect of immersion in virtual reality can not be compared with anything else. Thanks to modern VR-Sholom we are almost in the virtual space, but feel the full emotion of immersion still unlikely to succeed, because our senses are not fooled. I looked like a realistic world created physically experience the process of walking, flying and falling was impossible. Can make virtual reality more realistic? Until today. A team of researchers from Germany has developed a robotic platform that synchronization any virtual reality helmet. Outside platform resembles a prism, which hold in suspension a few cables. Inside the prism of a playground set in the center chair. All this would seem not so interesting, if not for one thing: the algorithm tilts, turns and climbs the platform is designed based on the functioning of the human vestibule apparatus. First you need to understand how working organ of hearing and balance.
If you simplify, it all looks like this: hearing and balance organ in the inner ear is also filled with a special liquid, whose motion capture special villi and transmit a signal to the brain, which has concluded that analyzes the information. Take a glass of water and slowly lower it to the floor, the water left in the glass. But if you take the same glass and sharp point it toward the floor - water splashed out of it begins. Just up and running, our vestibule system, and works on similar principles of a new invention of German scientists. Chapter platform project Malermeister Dr. Philip describes his invention as follows:
"Robotic platform consists of strong hydrocarbon fiber weighing 80 kilograms. When manufacturing platform we used the same technology used in space to create a missile parts to create a strong and simultaneously light design. At the moment we have no plans to enter the market, because the platform needs some work.
We plan to reduce the size of the platform and add new features to a simulation virtual space is not much different from real life. This may be a new step of development of virtual technology and will find great use in piloting training, driving and, of course, video games. "
