SimCraft specializes in building dynamic, moving rigs designed to make games more immersible. We had a chance to check out its top-of-the-line model, the Apex SC 830, at CES this year and walked away impressed by the device. It may be just a fantasy for the average consumer, but that doesn't take away from the amazing experience the setup offers.
The SC 830 SimCraft in action.
The SC 830 features three degrees of freedom; 40 degrees of roll, 25 degrees of pitch, and 40 degrees of yaw. This translates into some pretty wild movement when the game really gets going. The company had the setup rigged up with three monitors and a copy of iRacing that fully supported the device's motion feedback. The video above shows just how much movement these rigs are capable of.
While the average consumer likely won't be shelling out the $40,000 for this particular unit, the SimCraft staff on site told us that the company is currently working on a collapsible model designed for a more widespread adoption with a vastly reduced price-point and a more household-friend construction. For the time being, though, we'll all just have to fantasize about having one of these at home.
