Front elevation of the PDK motion base on a black set: three motor blocks with con rods and pneumatic cylinders beneath the triangular platform

Investor relations

Precise.
Patented.
Priced for access.

A patented six-degree-of-freedom system for immersive motion (CA 3217174 C) and four years of hardware and software R&D sit behind the Portal Development Kit. Its purpose is to make research-grade motion precision accessible rather than exclusive.

This page is information, not an offer. Nothing here is an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security in any jurisdiction, and nothing here is investment advice. Any investment would be made only under a written agreement with the relevant ARK company, to persons permitted to receive such an offer under the laws that apply to them.

Technology

Four milestones.

Each figure carries its status. Nothing here is a telemetry promise to a game or PC.

<1ms

01 · latency, game to motion

Under 1 ms, from the game's telemetry reaching the platform to the actuator moving. Both measurement points are published on /technology/latency/.

21bit

02 · direct-drive motion control

A 21-bit absolute encoder on each of the six direct-drive motors: 2,097,152 positions per revolution.

6dof

03 · platform improvements tested

Testing of the improvements to the six-degree-of-freedom platform is complete.

04 · patent granted

One patent protects the core invention. The granted patent is CA 3217174 C, Motion Simulation System and Method.

How we know this
  • Patent CA 3217174 C — the Google Patents record matches on title, inventors and grant date (11 February 2025). patents.google.com/patent/CA3217174C
  • Sub-millisecond latency: from the game's telemetry reaching the platform to the actuator moving, with both measurement points published on /technology/latency/.
  • 21-bit encoders — 2²¹ = 2,097,152 positions per revolution, checked by calculation. verified by calculation
  • Four years of hardware and software R&D. One granted patent, CA 3217174 C.

Protected

One granted patent, in the mechanism.

The patented improvements sit in the platform itself, not in the software around it. The record below is checked against the Google Patents entry.

Markets

One platform, several adjacent markets.

The patented improvements to the Stewart platform are designed to deliver precision and performance in a compact form factor at a price that widens access. The same hardware addresses each market below.

Simulation and training

Flight, automotive and professional simulation, where a six-axis base at desk scale sits below the cost of a facility installation.

Research

Academic, vestibular and human-factors work that needs citable specifications, repeatable delivery and an open interface.

Entertainment and sim racing

Venues, attractions and the enthusiast market the platform was first shown to, at two expos in 2025.

The same hardware addresses each of these. ARK publishes no market-sizing figures: the estimates that circulate in this category are third-party, and none of them is an ARK result. Where a number appears anywhere on this site it carries a source — see how we handle numbers. Investors who want sizing should ask, and we will say what we can evidence and what we cannot.

The ask

Strategic partners, not just capital.

ARK Dynamics builds XR motion technology on six-degree-of-freedom platforms. We are looking for strategic partners, investors and business collaborators in gaming, entertainment and adjacent sectors.

Strategic partnerships

  • Technology partners — integration with VR and AR platforms.
  • Distribution partners — channel partnerships for global market access.
  • Enterprise customers — direct relationships with training and simulation companies.

Investment criteria

We are looking for investors who bring:

  • Strategic value beyond capital.
  • Industry expertise in XR, gaming or enterprise technology.
  • Network connections that accelerate partnerships and customer acquisition.
  • A long-term commitment to immersive experiences.
