motion simulator

Fake movement machine

A motion simulator is a mechanical system that creates the physical sensation of movement without actual travel.

Flight simulators train pilots by replicating aircraft motion through hydraulic platforms that tilt, shake, and respond to controls.

Theme park rides use motion simulators to synchronize seat movement with on-screen action: The motion simulator made it feel like we were actually flying through space.
