7 Things to Feel in an ACME Dynamic Motion Seat

1. Onset and Sustained G-Cues Generally, motion systems provide onset cues by movement. After a moment, the system ‘washes out’ as the actuator moves to neutral for the next cue. This works for onset cues, but not for sustained cues. Motion Seats can provide sustained...
