Dreamflyer | How does it work?

The Dreamflyer is an engineered product and works on a simple principle of mechanics -- pivot arrangement. The user, while sitting on the chair, balances her/his weight across the longitudinal and latitudinal axis of the chassis and that balancing act generates motions. The sensor/joystick underneath the chair captures the motions/movements and sends the information to a computer loaded with simulation software. The software (Microsoft Simulator, X-Plane, etc) interprets the information and the user sees the results real-time on the monitor. In short, our Dreamflyer captures the motion based on simple gravitational movements of the chair initiated by the user in response to the views on the screen. Close to what pilots do in the air. By using gravitational force to generate motions, the Dreamflyer has eliminated the need for hydraulics and motors and costly maintenance associated with the product

You could build your own for a couple of hundred dollars excluding the LCD and controllers.

So it's a $2800 bi-directional see-saw?

[EdinKulelija]

I think something like this should not cost more than few hundred dollars.. $2800 is way overpriced

[LancairPropJet]

Shouldn't a device that sells motion have a video showing motion and not a series of still images?

@stoneground1 you should build one. I'd buy it from you if it worked

[stoneground1]

$2,800? You do realize that it's just a frame on a hammock stand right? Haha!! I can go to Home Depot and buy the stand, bend some fence posts, weld them together and get some joystick controls at best buy and an lcd monitor. Plus the chick dressed up like a commercial airline pilot just really sells it ya know!! Haha!! If it had actuators on it i might think about it but without anything to give me realistic motion there's no way i would pay that much!!!

SHAMe.......... this dreamflyer is just a facepalm generator.....

[IIIgGeeksIII]

please i wont know something this have perfect size and its amazing cool i want it but i dont want monitor i wanna buy a virtual reality headset and i dont want a this saitek i want logitech g940 with force feed back so cani buy it like that without evry thing ?

@scott98390 USB is for the controls, it includes rudder pedal, flight stick and throttle which are al usb powered.

[scott98390]

so ... it's "powered" by gravity? YOU power it by leaning/shifting your weight? So what the hell does it need USB connectors for?
