| Abstract: |
A method and apparatus are disclosed for multi-media simulation of the sounds, sights, and motions associated with various real life experiences. Roadable trailers having modules are combined to form a platform or support for an exoskeleton in the shape of various structures such as a spaceship, moon base, cave, mountain, vehicle, airplane, helicopter, ship, submarine, etc. The modules are provided with cameras, viewing screens, audio equipment and actual and optical motion imparting mechanisms for real-time point-of-access imagery simulating take-off, landing, turns, and hover-type turns from the environment surrounding the simulator. External image gathering cameras are attached to a movable support to provide relative motion point-of-access imagery.

I claim:
1. A portable multiple module simulator apparatus comprising:
- multiple roadable trailers attached together to form a platform;
- an exoskeleton covering enclosing said multiple roadable trailers;
- multiple simulator modules formed on said roadable trailers;
- said simulator modules having means for accommodating more than one person;
- said simulator modules having means for providing visual, auditory, and motion stimuli which simulate various real-life and pre-recorded experiences;
- said simulator modules having image gathering means attached to external supports with means that provide movement for said external supports;
- viewing screens are located within said modules and connected to said external image gathering means to impart real-time point-of-access imagery from the environment surrounding said simulator.
