A method of producing a motion track for displacing a motion platform substantially synchronously with a predetermined media content may include: obtaining the media content; in response to receipt of the media content, generating a timeline for the media content based at least in part on a duration of the media content; receiving user input indicative of a plurality of motion samples to be added to the timeline, each associated with a respective point on the timeline; placing each of the motion samples on the timeline at the respective associated point on the timeline; and storing the plurality of motion samples, each in association with a respective time code representative of the respective associated point on the timeline of each of the motion samples, as part of the motion track.

Motion track generation for motion platform

A multi-platform vibro-kinetic system comprises a plurality of motion platforms each having actuators to be displaceable to produce vibro-kinetic effects. The system may obtain movements of one or more operator(s), interpret the movements of the operator and identifying from the movements an operator instruction for effect generation, and output a motion signal containing instructions for producing a vibro-kinetic effect on at least one of the motion platforms as a response to the operator instruction.

Multi-platform vibro-kinetic system

A method for synchronizing an output of a motion signal with a virtual reality program being played comprises mixing a multi-channel audio output of the virtual reality program into at least one mixed audio track. A time position of the virtual reality program being played is obtained using the at least one mixed audio track. A motion signal corresponding to virtual reality program being played and synchronized with the identified time position of the virtual reality program being played is obtained, the motion signal comprising motion platform actuator-driving instructions. The motion signal is output to an actuation system of a motion platform for producing vibro-kinetic effects in the motion platform corresponding to and synchronized with the virtual reality program being played. A motion controller for synchronizing an output of a motion signal with a virtual reality program being played is also provided.
