    So I had an idea of this thing. Not sure that anybody could use it but the idea was to make something very cheap to simulate a bit of gforces (only left/right tho).

    I wonder how this could be done? I created a very simple picture to show how it could work. It is mainly just a thing that pushes the shoulders a bit in turns. It could be attached to a wall or something.

    It would probably not work so good on chairs that are wide at top so i experimented with putting it in front of a racer. For people with VR I guess they dont care so much if a thing is in front of them.

    Have there been done projects like this before? I would probably never do this myself as I am not a "handy-man" but maybe somebody could see if this could be done? Maybe it can be a very cheap thing for a low-cost project?

    great idea on using belts. i think i would suggest adding a breast-height belt also for left-right movement.
