Less than ten years ago, the eye tracking tech in those things was $35,000+.

:dunno

Wouldn't be cool to repurpose something like this with the current headsets like the Quest 3, along with some current mec game.

RandyT:
That does look pretty nifty. Do they look like motion platforms to you? If they are, they probably should have mentioned that in the listing to improve their chances of a sale. If not, that's a crazy price :)

But to be honest, my self-built 4-actuator racing rig, steering wheel, PC, monitor and VR headset cost less than that in total, and probably does the same thing + more.

IMHO, that would make a pretty poor "mech simulator". It's basically a tandem 2DOF "seat tilter", with the pivot point between the two seats. It was obviously designed to be a "mall attraction" roller coaster sim. The poor person who bought the thing probably believed the "easy money" hype from the promo videos and found out otherwise. Supposedly, they are 7k new.

A mech simulator really needs some heave to be decent, which this can't do. Even for simple 2DOF motion, the center of movement would need to be directly under a single rider (?) or it would feel really odd.

This is basically identical to what is moving the egg unit. Lots of folks make their own, as it's the simplest way to get the seat moving and it's relatively inexpensive compared to other systems.
