Virtual reality experience apparatus

Abstract

A virtual reality experience apparatus includes an image apparatus providing an experiencing user with an image and a riding apparatus providing the experiencing user with a physical motion, wherein the riding apparatus includes a riding part providing the experiencing user with a ridable space; and a gyro mechanism generating at least one of a pitching motion, a yawing motion, a rolling motion, and a reciprocating motion in the riding part, such that a stimulus sensed by the experiencing user through a sense of sight and a stimulus sensed through a physical motion may coincide with each other.

1 . A virtual reality experience apparatus, comprising:
 an image apparatus providing an experiencing user with an image; and   a riding apparatus providing the experiencing user with a motion,   wherein the riding apparatus includes a riding part providing the experiencing user with a ridable space; and a gyro mechanism generating at least one of a pitching motion, a yawing motion, a rolling motion, and a reciprocating motion in the riding part.   
     
     
         2 . The virtual reality experience apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the gyro mechanism includes a first mechanism generating the yawing motion in the riding part; a second mechanism generating the pitching motion in the riding part; and a third mechanism generating the rolling motion in the riding part. 
     
     
         3 . The virtual reality experience apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the first mechanism rotates with respect to a structure supporting the gyro mechanism, the second mechanism is supported by the first mechanism and rotates with respect to an axis perpendicular to a rotational axis of the first mechanism, and the third mechanism is supported by the second mechanism and rotates with respect to an axis perpendicular to the rotational axis of the second mechanism. 
     
     
         4 . The virtual reality experience apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the riding part is fixedly coupled to the third mechanism. 
     
     
         5 . The virtual reality experience apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein a first actuator generating a driving force required for a rotating motion of the first mechanism is formed between the structure and the first mechanism, a third actuator generating a driving force required for a rotating motion of the second mechanism is formed between the first mechanism and the second mechanism, and a fourth actuator generating a driving force required for a rotating motion of the third mechanism is formed between the second mechanism and the third mechanism. 
     
     
         6 . The virtual reality experience apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the first mechanism further generates the reciprocating motion in the riding part.
