GVS
Galvanic vestibular stimulation or GVS is a method of controlling and constraining natural balance and movement ranges by using two weak electrical fields, delivered just behind the earlobes to control a person?s vestibular system, control nexus for the twin senses of movement and balance.
When a weak DC current is delivered to the mastoid behind a person?s ear, their body responds by shifting your balance toward the anode. The stronger the current, the more powerful its pull. If it is strong enough, it not only throws them off balance but alters the course of their movement.
It is possible using such a system to produce very realistic sensations of movement for cockpits and ground-based driving simulators, accurately replicating the feel of travel with little or no actual movement.
