This High-Speed Simulator Looks Like So Much Fun

,

The CableRobot Simulator, jointly developed by researchers at Fraunhofer IPA and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, features a simple carbon fiber cabin, weighing around 180 pounds, with enough room for a single passenger.
 
 
Most simulators use a cabin like this—usually filled with giant wraparound displays—that’s strapped to a moving gimbal firmly attached to the floor so it can spin around, and lean back and forth in any direction. The gimbal’s movements are matched to what’s happening in the simulation, adding to the realism, but the CableRobot takes things much further with a greater range of motion.
