    A woman demonstrating the ability to balance A waiter balancing wine glasses. Balance in biomechanics, is an ability to maintain the line of gravity (vertical line from centre of mass) of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway. [1] Sway is the horizontal movement of the centre of gravity even when a person is standing still.

    The space MMO Vendetta Online also features 6 degrees of freedom. Motion tracking hardware devices such as TrackIR and software-based apps like Eyeware Beam are used for 6DOF head tracking. This device often finds its places in flight simulators and other vehicle simulators that require looking around the cockpit to locate enemies or simply ...

    In simpler terms, LoS represents the maximum distance an individual can intentionally sway in any direction without losing balance or needing to take a step. [2] The typical range of stable swaying is approximately 12.5° in the front-back (antero-posterior) direction and 16° in the side-to-side (medio-lateral) direction. [3]

  9. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating body. [1] It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre . A larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability against overturning.
