Gizmodo reports on Motion-Pro II Racing Simulator

by World of Simulation on May 20, 2008

Gizmodo have posted an article on the Motion-Pro II Racing Simulator, a motion platform they declare as ”by far the most impressive of them all”.

Motion-Pro II Racing Simulator

Looking at the specifications, I can see why.

  • Drive motors and amplifiers: CE & UL compliant
  • Degrees of freedom: 2
  • Pitch / Roll angle: +/- 20 deg
  • Pitch & Roll velocity, maximum per second: 80 deg/sec (1.7 g’s)
And that’s just the motion platform. Head over to Gizmodo for their full analysis and prepare for that second mortgage!

Virtual Lego on a virtual iPhone

by WorldOfSimulation on March 13, 2008

This is just a concept at the moment, and I can see there being problems of copyright here, but it’s a fun idea nonetheless. play/nyc has released a flash demo of a virtual Lego game, which you can interact with on their web site.

If it ever makes to a real iPhone, I can see many a dull train journey/meeting being passed away with it.
