D. Tech. Electrical Engineering. / Developes a wheelchair motion platform whereby its user may be introduced into a simulated world. This simulated world is then required to be closely related to real world spaces that will be encountered by a disabled person using a wheelchair as a mobility aid. The wheelchair to be accommodated in the simulation environment may have multiple mechanical construct possibilities. The wheelchair used on the simulation platform needs to be driven by a combination of two wheels, as is generally found on manual and electric wheelchairs. The final objective was to design the simulation as closely as possible to the real world in order to use the VS-1 motion platform for architectural evaluations, possible training and general research in the field of simulators used in an enabled environment.
