By combining a HMD showing VR images of the roller coaster experience and an electric wheelchair as a simple motion platform with a small moving ramp that is a customized electric wheelchair, we provide continuous sensation of ascent, and continuous sensation of descent. And, the combination of an electric wheelchair as a simple motion platform and the moving ramp can simulate the experience of moving from level ground to ascent or descent to level ground.
We are currently conducting research to present an experience that repeatedly ascents and descents.
