Proof of concept ODT.

08-09-14 UPDATE:

Done with summer activities.
Top motion platform , support hardware and resistance pole working as intended.
Bottom platform....it is working ...but not exactly how I want it to perform. Took it apart in order to improve ergonomics of it. Testing few other thing to improve slide/ rolling function.It will take shape of a dish and should be more slippery.
Side notes:
After running COD4 for about 20 minutes I released... I got to get in better shape in order to enjoy this type of activity.
For best experience head have to be decoupled from hands/gun for better immersion.....
Cardio is intense

Image is a bit outdated ...bottom platform looks different now.

    Nice.
    Even if i dont see :
    _your center of gravity are your hips. not your shoulder. Won't it feel strange to have the "resistance" come from the chest ?
    _How can you install this in ppl Home ? do they have to attach something to the roof ?
    _How the balls "feel" under the feets ?

    Thank you for your interest!
    Point of contact to body is at hips area. I use bottom part of this harness mostly. Top provides help to maintain horisontal position when base jump imitation performed.
    Beause I work on it in my barn it had to be placed on posts but in my opinion idealy "top" got to be attached to ceiling in order for user to swing or kick around with out restriction.
    Floor plate feels like you run on gravel if you wear hiking shoes. . . Basketball shoe type sole works best.
    Regards.

    This is interesting development. With right tweaking it could enhance presence experience of ODT.
