Patent ID: 8675018

Claim:
A motion compensation system, comprising: a layer of roller balls with which a user can contact, the layer defined by a perimeter within which movement of the user is confined and monitored, each of the roller balls capable of spherical rotation within the layer for moving a body part of the user to a predetermined location on the layer when the body part of the user contacts an array of roller balls in association with movement of the body part of the user to a current location on the layer; a location sensing system in association with the layer for dynamically sensing the current location of the body part of the user on the layer relative to the perimeter when the body part of the user contacts the array of roller balls; and a control assembly integral to the layer, the control assembly comprising a plurality of actuators in contact with the roller balls of the layer, the actuators for rotating the roller balls of the layer with which the body part of the user contacts to move the body part of the user from the current location on the layer, the control assembly controlled to compensate for the movement of the body part of the user to the current location on the layer by moving the body part of the user to the predetermined location on the layer.
