Total immersion in the motorcycle experience through the Blockchain Sports Motorsport technologies

What if there was a motorcycle riding experience that delivers the thrills of the track without the risks? Blockchain Sports Motorsport can achieve this by using advanced motion simulators. Riders would wear lightweight sensor suits that capture their movements. This data would then be used to create a virtual reality experience that replicates the feeling of riding a motorcycle on a track. The simulator itself would be a dynamic platform with powerful motors that tilt, sway, and accelerate, mimicking the forces experienced on a real track.

 

The genuine motorsport experience will be achieved through the following components: VR-simulator with an active frame, exoskeleton and a helmet. Let’s dive into the intricacies of each component to find out how the final product will work. 

Exoskeleton

While a motorcycle offers an exhilarating experience, high speeds can trigger a mix of emotions like fear, excitement, and stress. This is partly because the human body isn't naturally adapted for such intense movement.

We’re developing a safer solution that still offers total immersion. Our exoskeleton suit would be equipped with advanced sensors to monitor the body's responses in real-time, like increased heart rate and sweating. It would then use this data to simulate a realistic riding experience through controlled pressure and movement. Motors built into the suit would push and pull in specific ways, replicating the forces felt while leaning, accelerating, and braking on a real motorcycle.

 

Developing this motorcycle training exoskeleton requires a meticulous data collection process. Initially, riders will wear sensor suits while traversing real tracks. These sensors, along with motorcycle telemetry, will capture a vast amount of information. Data points will include forces acting on the rider, their intensity, speed, etc. This dataset will then be analyzed by engineers and used to create a comprehensive program. The program will map specific combinations of speed, lean angle, and motorcycle type to the corresponding forces experienced by the rider. By applying these forces through the exoskeleton's motors, the training experience will realistically mimic real-world motorcycle riding, even if the simulator itself doesn’t look like a motorcycle at all.

 

Active frame 

Our motorcycle training simulator goes beyond traditional static rigs. The key element is an active frame, a dynamic platform that moves in all directions. Unlike a real motorcycle, it won't have wheels, suspension, or a windshield – focusing on replicating the physical forces acting on the rider. Traditional simulators for entertainment purposes rely on visuals and vibrations to create a limited sense of movement. You might sit on a basic frame with handlebars and footrests, offering a visual illusion but lacking real physical sensations.

 

Blockchain Sports Motorsport simulator takes a different approach. The active frame, powered by programmed motors, will recreate the forces experienced while riding a real motorcycle. Leaning, accelerating, and braking will be simulated through precise movements of the platform, replicating the forces felt on a track.

 

VR and Haptics

To complete the experience, the simulator will incorporate a VR helmet providing a fully immersive virtual racing environment. High-quality visuals and audio will enhance track perception and strategic decision-making. Additionally, haptic feedback peripherals like a suit, knee pads, vest, gloves, and boots will be equipped with sensors. These elements will not only offer protection but also provide pressure and vibration sensations, further enhancing the rider's perception of the motorcycle's handling and the track surface.

 

To sum up, we’ll highlight several advantages of our motorsport simulator. First of all, it provides a safe and controlled training environment, eliminating the risks associated with real-world riding. Additionally, it allows riders to train on various tracks and weather conditions without incurring travel expenses. Finally, the data-driven approach ensures a realistic experience catering to different motorcycle types and riding styles.
