3D cinema in a boat.
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.
