Ultimate immersion

[ttonks93]

I’m planning on building a rig for ultimate immersion. I have a VR headset and 4 bass shakers, one in each corner of my rig.

My next step is a G seat (which i am ready to purchase) and motion. I’ve read that with motion less movement is more as you just want to feel subtle differences regarding suspension movement and inertia. But i’m stuck between 3DOF and 6DOF.

I’m interested in 4 DBOX actuators or VNM’s 7 actuator system, see links below. Could someone tell me which would be a better system, with everything setup subtle, combined with a G seat, bass shakers and VR?

did you maybe consider qubic?

That hard stop roller bearing solution is very interesting. My only question about softening the springs is whether you have turned off your motion system or are just using it for road grade, without texture or bumps etc..

i helped a friend during the build
amazing performance

Out of my price range unfortunately. Would you recommend the 6DOF though?

if i need to make a decision

3 dof plus belt system
or
6 dof
i would choose the first one

for sure surge and TL are adding certain immersion - but i prefer the belt effect
