Exhausted the Xbox? Dutch firm Cruden B.V., designer and builder of interactive motion-based racing simulators, is offering its Hexatech F1 driving simulators to the public, just in time for Christmas. "Let's be clear: This is not a video game linked up to a steering wheel, race seat and pedals," says Frank Kalff, Cruden's commercial director. "Our simulator and the software it uses cannot be bought in a store." But they can be purchased directly from Cruden starting at $190,000 for a base simulator package. The units offer realistic g-force simulation, seat belt tensioners and accurate steering feedback, and drivers can choose between three wraparound screens or stereo projectors to view their virtual driving domain.
