摘要： A motion platform system includes a support and a motion platform supported by the support and rotatable about a plurality of bearing axes. The motion platform is further rotatable with respect to the support about at least one axis that is offset from the plurality of bearing axes. The motion platform may include an intermediate frame supported by the support, where the intermediate frame is rotatable about a first bearing axis with respect to the support. The motion platform may further include an inner frame supported by the intermediate frame, where the inner frame is rotatable about a second bearing axis with respect to the intermediate frame. Rotations of the inner and intermediate frames about the first and second bearing axes facilitate rotation of the inner frame with respect to the support about at least one axis offset from the bearing axes.

摘要： An interface, in the form of an isometric exercise system, according to the present invention includes an effector with at least one sensor, a platform and control circuitry including a processor. The platform accommodates a user in a standing position and includes the effector attached thereto. The sensor measures at least one force applied by a user lower body portion to the effector and causing a measurable strain on the effector. An additional effector with at least one sensor and a game controller or other input device may further be attached to the platform. The sensor measures at least one force applied by a user upper body portion to the additional effector and causing a measurable strain on that effector. The processor receives and processes data corresponding to applied force information for transference to the host computer system to update a virtual reality scenario.

摘要： A force measurement system includes an effector device with a hollow interior, an inner support secured within the hollow interior of the effector device, and at least one sensor secured at a selected location to the inner support and configured to measure a force applied to the inner support. At least one outer surface portion of the inner support is coupled with at least one interior surface portion of the effector device such that forces applied to the effector device are at least partially transferred to the inner support for measurement by the sensor.

摘要： An isometric exercise system according to the present invention facilitates user interaction with a host computer system and includes at least one effector, at least one sensor coupled to the effector, a platform to accommodate the user and control circuitry including a processor. The platform accommodates a user and includes the effector attached thereto. The sensor measures at least one force applied by a user to the effector, where the applied force effects a strain on or deflects the effector. The processor receives and processes data corresponding to applied force information measured by the sensor for transference to the host computer system in a compatible format and facilitates user interaction with the host computer system via effector manipulation by the user. The host computer system processes the information to update or respond to events within an executing software application (e.g., a game).

摘要： A configurable game controller according to the present invention selectively assigns functions within a gaming application to controller input devices. The controller includes input devices, signal sources, a switching device and a switch control unit. The input devices are each coupled to a corresponding signal source that detects or measures manipulation of the corresponding input device and produces a signal indicating the measurement. The signals produced by the signal sources are processed by a signal processor whose inputs are associated in a fixed manner with game functions. The switching device receives information from each signal source and provides the appropriate signals to the signal processor inputs to attain the desired configuration or function assignment received from the user via the switch control unit. In addition, the configurable controller may be utilized with an exercise device to enable exercise and/or controller input devices to control gaming functions.
