    Invention Addressed a Major Gap In Prior Art

The installation of a dynamic three-axis 3D motion seat (up/down, left/right, forward/backward) with a 3D headset and headphones in a boat.

Boat phobia (or thalassophobia) is often triggered by:

Vestibular discomfort (inner ear detecting unpredictable swaying/rocking).

Visual triggers (open water, waves, lack of stable horizon).

Fear of confinement (below deck, small cabins).

This system leverages biomechanics, neurosensory adaptation, and virtual reality immersion to transform a distressing boat journey into a controlled, enjoyable experience.

Neutralizing Phobia Through Sensory Substitution

Motion Sickness Prevention (Visuo-Vestibular Realignment)

Therapeutic Desensitization (VR Exposure Therapy)

Hardware Breakdown: How the Seat Mimics Boat Motion


Study of Seasickness: Such a system could be used in controlled environments to study the factors contributing to seasickness and test solutions to mitigate it. The precise synchronization of virtual and real movements could be a valuable tool for this research.
