　Product Overview

This product is a plug-in for UC-win/Road to cooperate UC-win/Road and INNO's 3 axial motion seat (VR seat). This plug-in converts the vehicle movement of UC-win/Road simulation to 3 axial value (Roll, Pitch, Heave) in real time and export to the VR seat.

When a drive mode simulation is performed in the UC-win/Road, the inertia force generated from acceleration and deceleration is reproduced by using the component of gravity. In this reproduction, the plug-in executes the processing (washout) to get the seat back to the neutral position at the speed not let the person sitting on the seat feel the inclination by acceleration and deceleration while considering the motion range. In addition, detailed customization of motion is available in the parameter setting.

　Product features

The existing motion device is embedded in a drive simulator and it requires money and room for installation of a set of drive simulator.

The configuration of VR seat is simple. It has only a motion seat so users can arrange the environment at low price and limited room. The VR seat can be utilized for a variety of ways such as a simple drive simulator (operated with game controller), evaluation of riding comfort, and earthquake experience. In addition, users can normally operate one VR seat with this plugin, but it can be customized for the simultaneous operation of several VR seats.
