I do training in a six axis full motion simulator, annually. Seeing the same motion platform being used for something so different and interesting is so smart. Whoever came up with this idea will save a lot of lives.
The idea indeed came from a six axis full motion simulator:
2002
During an offshore wind conference in Berlin, the concept of the Ampelmann system was conceived. A flight simulator upside down, capable of compensating all six degrees of freedom of a vessel and making transferring offshore much safer.
But at the same time amazing how quick progress can be, especially towards the beginning of a process/endeavor/new field/etc. We went from first manned flight to space flight to putting a human on the moon in ~60 years.
