  • Patent number: 12260782
    Abstract: Systems for flight simulation, and methods for operating the same. The system may include a 6 degree of freedom devices, a multi-point harness configured to suspend a user above a ground surface, and a sensor circuit integrated with a user-facing surface of the multi-point harness to detect changes in distribution of weight across the user-facing surface. The system includes a processor coupled to the sensor circuit, where the processor may be configured to: detect a shift in weight distribution across the user-facing surface of the multi-point harness. The processor may generate at least one virtual physics parameter associated with the detected shift in weight distribution. The at least one virtual physics parameter representing a force associated with a change in center of gravity of the user. The processor may modulate the 6 DOF device to orient the multi-point harness based on at least one virtual physics parameter to simulate a resultant trajectory of the user during the flight simulation.
