Abstract
A virtual motion-acceleration spherical simulator includes an outer gyroscopic sphere, an inner gyroscopic sphere concentrically disposed relative to the outer gyroscopic sphere, and a spherical cockpit having eight quadrants. The cockpit has a display device, a full HD 3D projector, a curved screen simulating a windshield, a controller device, and a real vehicle dashboard. A first seat is provided for an operator in a first quadrant of the spherical cockpit and a second seat is provided for a navigator in a second quadrant of the spherical cockpit. Drive assemblies connected to the gyroscopic spheres impart longitudinal and lateral movement in two orthogonal directions.
