The first use of articulated joint models for representing human joints can be found in the studies of kinematics of robotic manipulators. These systems used the Denavit-Hartenberg link parameter notation from robotics to represent virtual mannequins with articulated limbs [ GM98 ]. The Denavit-Hartenberg notation is used for linking parameters by associating coordinate frames between adjacent segments. This is convenient but each parameter can only describe one degree of freedom (dof) between two adjacent segments. By combining sets of parameters also multiple dofs could be achieved.

Motion sickness or kinetosis , also known as travel sickness , is a condition in which a disagreement exists between visually perceived movement and the vestibular system 's sense of movement.

Mission: SPACE

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Space Mission: Space (stylized as Mission: SPACE ) is a motion simulator thrill ride at Epcot . It simulates what an astronaut might experience aboard a spacecraft on a mission to Mars , from the higher g -force of blastoff to the speculative hypersleep . The attraction opened to the public in a "soft opening" mode in June 2003, and celebrated its grand opening on October 9 with a ceremony attended by Disney CEO Michael Eisner , HP CEO Carly Fiorina and NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe , as well as several NASA astronauts from its many phases of human space exploration ( Mercury , Gemini , Apollo , the space shuttle program and two crew members aboard the International Space Station ).
