Hello, I'm currently building a 6Dof motion simulator to integrate the Oculus Rift with it. Check out our (outdated) Blog: motiondrift.blogspot.be/New website: www.vectionvr.comThe 6 Dof is still on going but the Oculus stabilizer is already fully working with the DK2. More info to come. Cheers Jerome Update : the simulator is now in metal. There is still a lot of tuning to be done but here is it's first video.

I too have a Rift DK2 (and DK1 also) and I'm just starting to work on building a motion simulator. I'm very happy to hear about your Rift stabilizer! Can you give me more info? Will you be selling it or just sharing a guide on how to build it? Thanks for your amazing work! Trip

Hello triprodriguez, Nice to hear you are a Oculus enthousiastic too We are still going to the details, I'm going to the Oculus conference in a couple of weeks to improve the game integration. We are planning on selling the hardware and sharing the Oculus library software. I will keep you guys posted. Keep an eye on the forum, we are trying to centralize here the informations needed to build your sim project. Contact us if you need custom parts such as motor arms, sensors stands and pulleys. We can help you with with standard parts as well such as VFD rods and links. Motors are heavier to ship but we can point you to the right ones to fit all the custom parts. Cheers Jerome

Thanks Jerome, as long as it isn't terribly expensive I will very happily buy it and support the project as much as I can!
Right now I'm really looking for info on what motors to buy and what other hardware I will need to get them working. I'm trying to keep the motors/electronics/power supplies at/under $1,000 USD if possible. I'm looking mostly at AC gear motors or possibly Teknic servo motors.

Hi all,
Like vicpopo said, more info, yes, yes .. I'm hungry too.
Jerome, "informations needed to build your sim project", will this include design params like platform dimensions with specific motors (power, RPM, torque) and performance (forces, limits) ? I Would be very interested in things like that. My initial plan was to make a computer simulation of the stewart platform with modelica (https://www.modelica.org/), but I thought it was complicated and lost interest in this idea. Maybe I'll give it another try, it's an open source mechanical/electrical/... simulation language and application (also commercial applications like wolfram system modeler). I am thinking of a platform with two seats and would like to have a well thought design with a calculated cost.
What are your thoughts on intergrated servo systems like clearpath (http://www.teknic.com/products/clearpath-brushless-dc-servo-motors/)?

Jerome, I expect to have a 3DOF motion sim running pretty soon and my intention is to use it with the Rift (which I have both versions of already). Can you give me any idea how long it will be before I can get the Rift stabilizer from you? Any idea on price?
Thanks!
Trip

Hello, We just opened our website: www.vectionvr.com/We already offer the customized code of the Oculus library, simulation tool is on his way. We will discuss with developers at the Oculus Connect event next week to have it integrated with games. We didn't opened the preorders for the sensor itself yet but stay tuned... Cheers Jerome

Thanks guys !
Here are some videos of the early (load) tests. Spoiler alert: It still needs a lot of tuning and some metal work to replace the wooden parts.

Hi Jerome.
Can I ask what motors you used?
Do you know what the load rating would be in the platform?
TIA

The motors are himmel 250W. We tested them today on our final structure. It carries over 200kg.
We still need to make a lot of tuning but here is a first video.

Hi jeromeThis looks great!!! It gives lots of motion for the spread position of the actuators and the short rods! I think you should invert the lateral acceleration axis... it should lean against the direction you are turning the steering wheel. Well done!! If you need help with the calibration, give me a call on skype, before I start with a new job... Thanks Thanos
