Claim:
1. A method for simulating accelerations for a person, the method comprising: rotating the person at a distance around a main axis by driving a main arm of a motion device with a main drive such that a main acceleration acting on the person is substantially generated by the rotation of the person and by a gravitational acceleration, wherein a magnitude and a direction of the main acceleration is determined by the gravitational acceleration, a tangential acceleration and a radial acceleration, and wherein primary faulty forces act on the person when there is a change in the magnitude and the direction of the main acceleration; at least partially compensating for the primary faulty forces and substantially determining a position of the person with respect to the direction of the main acceleration by rotating and/or positioning the person around a plurality of secondary axes by driving a plurality of support elements with a plurality of drives, the secondary axes running through a center lying in a region of the person, wherein secondary faulty forces act on the person due to the rotation of the person around the secondary axes, and wherein the plurality of support elements includes three support elements, the plurality of drives includes three drives, and the plurality of secondary axes includes three secondary axis; and reducing the secondary faulty forces by rotating and positioning the person around the three secondary axes by driving the three support elements with the three drives.
