Person experiences illusion of being in motion (e.g., travel simulation, etc.):
(under subclass 57) Amusement device wherein the device is specifically intended to deceive a person into believing that he or she is taking a trip (e.g., the person believes he or she is traveling in a vehicle) or is otherwise moving (e.g., the person believes he or she is swinging on a swing) whereas, in actuality, the person is not taking a trip or traveling or otherwise moving in the manner that he or she believes.
(1) Note. In order for the device to be classified here, the device must be of the type which attempts to make a person truly believe that it is he, himself, or she, herself, who is taking the trip or is otherwise in motion. A device in which a person or an audience observes another person who appears to be traveling (e.g., an actor who appears to be traveling in an automobile on a theater stage) is not properly classifiable here. Also, a device upon which a person pretends that he is traveling (e.g., a child sitting in or upon a simulated horse or vehicle which rocks back and forth) is merely pretense and not true deception and is,
accordingly, not properly classifiable here.
