In almost every scifi-action movie of the 90s, there appears an exercise machine (?) with three concentric rings, and you strap into the middle and spin around in all directions. IIRC the outside ring is immobile and upright, while the inner two move on different axes, so the user can spin any which way.
Universal Soldier, Fortress, Drive and a bunch more had it, but I don’t have screenshots.
So I’ve posted my terrible attempt at drawing what I mean. (Either that or the logo for my new political movement.)
Anyone know what it’s called?
And whatever happened to it? It’s the future now, why aren’t we all spinning around in every direction, in between sessions on our hoverboards and flying cars?
This sounds like what you’re after :)

Lol these things are so goofy
Yes! Thanks!
Wikipedia even mentions yet another 90s scifi movie I saw it in recently that I forgot had one (e.g. Lawnmower Man).
They used one in Star Trek Enterprise as well.
Great movie.
Okay, after reading about it. I actually kind of want one.
I went to Space Camp for a week when I was like 13. We all got to go in one for a bit. It makes you very dizzy.
