This is what playing Grand Theft Auto V in a motion simulator looks like

Gaming is an immersive medium, but it’s also one that most people enjoy while sitting down in a chair or on the couch. While sitting is great (it’s my favorite!), it does get in the way of feeling like you’re really in the action. But a company called Force Dynamics can help fix that with one of its products.

Force Dynamics builds giant rigs called motion platforms, which are hulking hydraulic-powered chairs that can interpret in-game motion and make you feel like every turn and jump you take is really happening to you. We’ve seen things like these in arcades before, but Force Dynamics will build these machines for anyone, and that means you can use it with all kinds of different games … like Grand Theft Auto V. Earlier this week, Force Dynamics got developer Rockstar’s open-world crime game running with its 401CR motion platform, and the results look like they could give you actual whiplash.
