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.

The present invention relates to a virtual reality experience apparatus. The virtual reality experience apparatus includes the image apparatus providing an experiencing user with an image and the riding apparatus providing the experiencing user with a physical motion, and the riding apparatus may include 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. Accordingly, the experiencing user may be prevented from feeling a sense of displacement, and an immersion level may be improved, as a result, a sense of realism may be improved.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a playground apparatus that is configured to support a camera, typically a smartphone or similar photo/video device. The apparatus is configured to both (a) position the camera to take a photograph or video of the user during the play activity and (b) to maintain the camera in place during the play activity. Embodiments of the play apparatus include swings, whirls, and spinners.

A muscle activation system including: an inclined platform for a user to stand on; a rigid upper body user support frame attached to the inclined platform for supporting the upper body of a user standing on the inclined platform; a base, coupled to the inclined platform, the coupling allowing relative orientation motion between the base and inclined platform. The platform adapted to undergo a precession like motion around a central point so as to circumferentially move a user's upper body, when supported by the rigid upper body user support frame, substantially through an arc around a central point.

A capsule ride system includes a capsule, where the capsule includes a drum, which may include a curved annular wall that may define a chamber. The capsule also includes a platform that may fit within the chamber and that supports a restraint for a passenger. The system further includes a drive system capable of driving rotation of the capsule about a central axis of the capsule and driving forward and/or rearward movement of the capsule along a track.
