“Can you tell I’m sweating?”
A first-timer, straight off the platform.

Play that does not
keep you still.
A screen asks for your thumbs. A platform moving through six axes asks for the rest of you — you brace against the surge, you hold position through the heave, and you work to stay where you are. That effort is not a feature we added. It is what happens when the motion is real.
Why it is physical
Your core does not know
it is a game.
When the platform accelerates, something has to hold you in place, and that something is you. Six axes means the direction keeps changing, so the bracing is continuous rather than a single sustained push. People step off out of breath because they have spent the session doing isometric work, not because a number on a screen told them to.
What people said
Reactions from the expo floor.
These are attendees on camera at SimRacing Expo Dortmund and Sim Gaming Expo, Schaumburg, Chicago, quoted as they said it. Each consented to being recorded and quoted; nobody was paid and nobody was given anything. The films and their caption tracks are on See it move. They are testimony about an experience, not a claim about an outcome.
“You’re getting thrown around so much… I’m shaking, it’s crazy.”
An attendee at Sim Gaming Expo 2025.
“It’s like nothing else, a whole different beast.”
Recorded on the floor that weekend.
More of these were recorded on camera at the same shows, and will be published in context on the Kinemaniacs community site when it opens. We publish them as reactions because that is what they are — we are not turning them into a statistic.
For a venue
What an operator actually needs.
Commercial operation — a venue, an attraction, paid rides — needs a Commercial Operator Agreement under the Terms of Sale & Use, Section 8. That agreement is not on sale yet. Tell us what you are planning and we will write when it is.
Footprint and power
1.00 × 1.00 m for the PDK platform, 1.20 × 1.00 m for the PDK Racer — the chassis extends one face by 200 mm. Standard domestic mains from 100 to 290 V. No three-phase supply, no reinforced floor, no forklift.
Duty cycle
Static weight is carried pneumatically rather than by the motors, so a full day of back-to-back rides is not a thermal problem.
Throughput
Riders get on and off without a calibration step, because the encoders are absolute and the platform knows its pose at power-on.

Entertainment
The same platform where the question is return per square metre.
XR and VR
When there is a headset involved, timing stops being a nicety.
