The standard approach to simulating motion (so called motion cueing) is to simulate the “relevant” cues as closely as possible which trigger motion perception. These cues can be visual, auditory, or somatosensory in nature. Visual and auditory cues enable humans to perceive their location in space on an absolute scale,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_platform |

No relationship was observed in EMICs between levels of polar amplification, climate sensitivity, and initial state. The above comparisons to the performance of GCMs and comprehensive ESMs do not reveal the full value of EMICs. Their ability to run as “fast ESMs” allows them to simulate much longer periods, up to many ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_systems_model_of_intermediate_complexity |
