Terry, a Lower Hutt engineer, started @eight360vr in a leaky garage and has since caught the attention of Nasa with his high-tech virtual reality creations. 🤯
Nova is a virtual reality ball. The user is strapped into a chair inside the ball, which can rotate 360 degrees in all directions. Fully immersing you in another place, and it has all the motion to make you feel like you're really there!
From learning how to land a plane to epic video game experiences - these guys are going global!

You’ve done what we all envisioned! Loveeee ittt!!! I need to know more! 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Mount it on a kuka KR160 to get the directional forces
I thought of something like this 10 years ago. Except I wanted to put it in a tube, have it suspended by air with little drag fins that would come out for pitching, roll and so forth.
Need to buy shares in this...
👏👏👏
Classic kiwi ingenuity 👏

How do you handle power transfer to the components in the ball?
Will you guys eventually connect nova to a rotation bed to simulate g force like the destimona
Toss some hydraulics under it to give that drop feeling or lifting feeling when flying.
Love it minus the thought of how hot it must get inside
Par simular aunque se un poco la fuerza centrifuga/inercia/fuerza G prueba invertir los comandos para engañar el cerebro , en la realidad si giras a la derecha el cuerpo va a tender a desplazarse en el sentido contrario , y si realizas un descenso brusco el cuerpo no se va a ir para adelante si no que se va a pegar al asiento o si sueltas freno y acelerar el cuerpo se va a pegar al asiento eso se logra poniendo el cuerpo para arriba por gravedad se va a pegar al asiento engañando al cerebro que no ve por qué tienes el casco puesto , prueba invertir los comandos y vas a ver qué la sensación de realidad aumenta considerablemente
Amazing ✨️!! All the best!
YESSSSS!!!!!!!! I need one in my house!!!!
How much it is?
