the NOVA by eight360 is the world’s first completely untethered VR motion platform. built like a sphere, its design offers unlimited rotation in any direction, over and over again. equipped with clever control algorithms, the machine can replicate a wide range of forces for users to experience what it would be to be inside a real aircraft, propelling a realistic experience. other experiences like doing a barrel roll in a jet fighter or going through-the-loop on a roller coaster can also be experienced.

‘virtual reality isn’t just a fun gimmick or a novelty for gamers and nerds – it has proven value in many fields which is driving a lot of enterprise interest as well,’ comments eight360. ‘there is significant research data demonstrating the power of immersive, engaging content experiences for effective education and training outcomes, as well as the benefit of simulating activities that would otherwise be expensive, dangerous, or impractical in real life.’

by integrating the latest advances in technology with innovative approaches to problem solving, the NOVA is able to deliver fidelity that is comparable to multi-million dollar commercial and military simulators at a fraction of the cost. the CGI experience content includes flights, roller coaster, driving, and spaceships. the technology also enables playback of recorded real-life activities such as the motion and feeling of being somewhere which could be used for entertainment, advertising or training and education.
