The CableRobot Simulator consists of a caged platform with a seat for one passenger suspended on eight retracting cables. The scientists said their creation can aid virtual reality programs in simulating sensations such as flight with up to 1.5 Gs of acceleration.
The institute said the simulator will aid the scientists with "perception and cognition research."
"This simulator gives us completely new opportunities to study the perception of movement and possible application in neurological research in balance," Bulthoff said.
