Abstract
A new type of system for simulating motion cues employs a seat made up of six differentially inflatable sections. This device was evaluated with a sample of eight pilots in a cockpit mock-up. Seat motion significantly increased rated realism for a series of six maneuvers. When subjects were presented with motion cues while their eyes were closed, correct identification of maneuvers averaged 85% and rated confidence in judgments averaged 76%. The seat was considered to be a relatively simple, low-cost method for simulating motion cues.Keywords
