PROTO-TYPE INC, the developer of a virtual simulator for two-wheeled vehicles that reproduces the handling behavior of a motorcycle, has announced that it has created a simulator that reproduces and experiences the world of the manga "Bali Bali Legend! The company has announced that it has created a simulator that allows users to reproduce and experience the world of the manga "The Legend of Bari Bari" and will unveil it at the Italian Milan Show (EICMA), which opens on November 6, 2012. Gunn's guardrail kick turn...will become a reality on the virtual?

Digital turtles! A virtual simulator that lets you feel the behavior of two wheels

Simulators that reproduce driving conditions in a virtual space and allow users to experience driving and collect data are already common in the four-wheel industry, where they are used for vehicle development and for racing driver practice.PROTO-TYPE INC. has developed the world's first 2X Realistic motorcycle simulator, a two-wheel version of this simulator. The user, seated astride an operating motorcycle-type device, can experience the sensation of actually piloting a motorcycle in a virtual space based on images streamed from a head-mounted display....

The 2X Realistic motorcycle simulator allows users to straddle a device shaped like a motorcycle for a real-world driving experience...

While the simulator allows users to experience realistic motorcycle handling and body behavior, PROTO-TYPE INC. aims to evoke the physical sensations of riding a motorcycle rather than reproduce the actual vehicle itself, thus creating an ultra-realistic simulator. Rather than using it as an ultra-realistic simulator, PROTO-TYPE INC. is proposing a world that includes entertainment and a sense of wonder for people who have never ridden a motorcycle before.The company has been deliberating over which of the world's star-studded motorcycles to reproduce, and has chosen the CB750F of Goma-gun and the GSX750S Katana of Sei Hideyoshi, which appeared in the legendary manga "The Legend of Bali Bali" that sparked the motorcycle boom...and the result is the following The contents of this announcement.The release also states, "The simulation of the Honda CB750FB and Hideyoshi Sei's Suzuki GSX750S Katana, including the first-in, first-out driving style of GyoMa County's dynamic power slide and turning, can be reproduced to allow users to actually experience a battle between the two in a simulation. It's all there.

Image from the 2X introductory video. It's a CB750FB with a set of tubes and a separator gun. Rabbit!

And then, of course, there's Hideyoshi's Nanahan Katana with the front fender removed.

I've already seen it! [/caption] The word "turtle" alone suggests that the company's enthusiastic Bali Den fans are in the shadows (laugh), but the bike-shaped device that the visitor is straddling is, well, a turtle! (/caption) The fuel tank, headlight, and other parts of the device are all faithfully reproduced to look like an EF and a katana, which is amazing anddraws even the most digitally-illiterate old man in. This is probably an attempt to recreate the analog era of motorcycles in a digital space.

The simulator itself, which the experiencer actually straddles.... [caption id="978" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] [caption id="978" align="aligncenter" width="1200

The build quality of the Katana simulator is even more impressive. From the screen to the cowl to the tank and knee grip area are fully reproduced!

Stunning eff!

And a stunning Katana!

All-Japan JSB1000 rider Yuta Okatani was also involved in the development of the 2X Realistic motorcycle simulator, and a video released by the company shows Okatani riding at the Tsukuba Circuit and collecting data from the ride. The company's video shows Okatani driving on the Tsukuba Circuit and collecting data. The Bali Den Simulator was first announced in Italy, but we hope that the opportunity to experience it will be made available in Japan as well.

In the video, Okatani drives the YZF-R6 around Tsukuba and the 2X collects the data.

PROTO-TYPE INC. plans to have a booth like the one pictured at EICMA. Can the Milanese understand the legend of BARI BARI?

Nice lineup...
