   Motion Simulator (looking for game in progress)
Team name:T.A.G.Project name: VR SimulatorBrief description:We are designing a motion simulator for recreational use. The design consists of the typical virtual reality components, head tracking, stereovision, sound, ergonomic multifunction joysticks, with the addition of an industrial robot as the motion base. Target aim:Testing/Retail. Think laser tag arena. Compensation:We are not looking for individuals but for an existing team. Pay will be discussed on a per application basis.Technology:Motion Base:-IRB 6400 industrial 6 axis robotAudio/Visual: -I-glasses SVGA 3D head set-Integrated headset-6.1 Surround soundInput: -Two 3-axis joysticks-Three foot pedals-Microphone-Panic SwitchProcessing Power: -S4 robot controller-AMD Opteron 2.2 ghz, 1 gb RAM, nVidia 6800gt (currently)Talent needed:We are looking to hire/join an existing development team to work together in getting a game compatible with our system. We will provide a simple interface to include in the game that will allow the robot to “sense” what is happening in the game. If you want your game to be available on a full motion simulator, we want you.Team structure:There are currently two people on the team, 6_foot_3_dude(Andy) and myself(Matt). Andy is a diehard gamer and a great artist, he’s also great for test riding robots and holding wrenches. I am the main designer/founder/programmer for the project.Website:Please click here. The thread that started it all.Contacts:Please contact me in one of the following ways:-PM-mkincaid@vptag.com-AIM: mattyskickinAdditional Info:Some photos:Finished Seat Assembly(Temporary):The new game pod is on the drawing table. It is much more safe and sturdy. It also has provisions for pedals, joysticks, body harnes, and head tracking sensor.Tada:This will be the average operating height of the robot. Most of your game play will take place at this level.Test Ride:Max weight limit: 225 (with current robot)Feedback:NONE/ENCOURAGING ONLY[Edited by - honayboyz on December 14, 2005 4:28:12 PM]
