VictorMaxx Technologies was using the Cyber Air Base in a location-based entertainment application we were developing earlier in the year. We've had a generally positive experience with it. The air base is a full 6 degree of freedom motion platform, using pneumatic cylinders (no messy hydraulics). It has a simple, if quirky, programming interface, and seems to be fairly durable. We've stopped development on the LBE project, but we still use the platform to give demos, and it has held up well. Having a true 6DOF motion platform really added to the experience we were building (it was a driving game), and it was only because more exciting business and technology prospects arose that we abandoned the platform. Brad Engstrand, the owner of ViRtogo, has been very helpful, coming to our facility to debug with us (of course, his living half an hour from our office may have something to do with that -- you may not get the same service :). Brad can be contacted in the States at 1-800-490-5608. Andy MacDonald VictorMaxx Technologies, Inc. awm@vmaxx.com
