An actuated support frame for transmitting motion to a seat with respect
to a ground as a function of motion signals associated with video output,
comprises a frame. The frame is expandable/retractable along
translational degrees of freedom. Support surfaces are provided on the
frame. The support surfaces are displaceable with respect to one another
by expansion/retraction of the frame so as to be sized to support a seat.
Actuators are provided between the frame and the ground. The actuators
receive signals and selectively displace the frame with respect to the
ground in synchronization with a video output, whereby a seat supported
on the frame is displaceable within the frame. A method for installing a
seating system of a motion simulator system is also provided.
