Thanks, I don't know why I didn't just Google it! I'd still be interested to know whether this has found any commercial applications. It seems to be an idea wit

  I had a huge problem with not trying to Google stuff myself for an incredibly long time. I think it's something about the fact that we know the algorithm isn't perfect, and fear the effort required to find what we're looking for. It's probably been offered to the military, but it looks kind of delicate so they likely turned it down. Besides that, I can't actually see anything viable for something like this; it's possible it wobbles slightly (since it's on cables), which would detract from the realism. (I've no idea if it does.) Regarding fun, this isn't quite VR-specific, but I remember seeing something on TV a while back showing one of these at LEGOland, and it looks like this kind of thing is a lot more generally accessible everywhere: https://www.google.com/search?q=robot+arm+ride&tbm=vid https://www.google.com/search?q=robot+arm+ride&tbm=vid

    Oh - the "it" in the second sentence is referring to the thingy in the video, not Google. Bit ambiguous, just noticed, can't edit my post now.
