This technology looks legitimately impressive.
Here’s a video of it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3Sh6mu4zbs&t=1
This thing is so technically complex and has so many moving parts that I can only imagine it breaking literally constantly and costing a fortune to repair whenever it does.
Depending on how exactly is it made, it could have fewer moving parts than it looks like. The tilt seems to be controlled on a whole module at a time level, and I’m guessing all the tops of a module might be rotating in the same direction. That would still leave a lot of linkages and bushings or bearings, but make it easily serviceable by just replacing them. The modular design seems to indicate you could pick a whole hexagon tile, replace it with a working one, and service the damaged one in the background.
So, a Disneyland ride?
I can only assume the reason you’d work for Disney as either an engineer or technician is if you have a kink involving being in a constant and inescapable state of overworked frustration.
That’s fucking rad. The best implementation of an omni-treadmill I’ve seen.
Yeah it’s pretty neat. You can also imagine a version that goes 3D, maybe replicating uneven ground or stairs.
just make housing and food less expensive its all we ask
But this way, you can have virtual housing and food!
