Humphrey II
The most important elements of this installation are the data helmet and the mechanical system responsible for generating the physical forces at work. Computer-controlled technologies featuring ever-more-advanced processing capabilities make possible simulations of artificial environments that get closer and closer to perfection. By means of the force feedback apparatuses from which the pilot is suspended, the physical forces at work in the respective environment can also be mechanically simulated. This combination of technologies imparts a feeling of weightlessness and of the centrifugal force generated by flying that is as realistic as can be.
