Heave, pitch, and roll
Characterize vertical and rotational vessel movement over time.
Technology
From real-world motion to reproducible simulation.
The SeaKing Solace technology concept is designed to capture real-world motion, associate it with synchronized biometric data, and reproduce selected motion profiles within a controlled simulator environment.
Capture
Measure the motion.
Six-degree-of-freedom sensors can describe a session through heave, pitch, roll, surge, sway, and yaw. Precise timestamps and environmental context are intended to keep motion and biometric records aligned.
Surge, sway, and yaw
Characterize longitudinal, lateral, and directional movement.
Synchronized context
Align motion, time, environmental conditions, and research events within one record.
Correlate
Pair motion with physiology.
Candidate measures include heart rate, HRV, pupillometry, blood pressure, respiration, tolerability, and participant-reported outcomes. Associations would require careful analysis and would not, by themselves, establish causation.
A common clock is intended to align motion, biometric signals, participant reports, and protocol events without treating any single measure as evidence of efficacy.

Reproduce
Recreate selected motion profiles.
The simulator concept is intended to provide a controlled environment for repeatable motion, adjustable intensity, protocol consistency, and clinical research. It is not presented as clinically validated.
Precision and repeatability
Closed-loop future
Toward responsive motion protocols.
A future platform could use real-time physiological signals to adjust motion within predefined safety and research parameters. This is a future concept, not completed or validated functionality.

Accessibility
Designed for a path beyond the boat.
The long-term concept is land-based: more scalable, repeatable, geographically accessible, compatible with clinical settings, and less dependent on weather or vessel access.
Development status
Separate what is being asked from what may eventually be built.
Current
Hypothesis
Whether externally applied rhythmic motion is associated with measurable physiologic and exploratory participant responses.
Proposed
Research program
A four-phase pathway intended to move from on-water characterization to controlled studies.
In development
Simulator concept
A controlled platform intended to reproduce selected motion profiles for research.
Future vision
Responsive platform
A potential closed-loop system contingent on evidence, engineering, safety work, and validation.
