This is a fairly simple demonstration of translation and rotation. I simply used those techniques to create a very simple representation of the theme-park “pendulum” style rides. The square, line, and circle all rotate in unison, while the two ‘legs’ remain stable. In the ride this is representing, the passengers would be seated in the black portion of the circle.
Pendulum in the bottom most position.
Pendulum in the top most position.
I also tried to add some audio, so that you could hear the ‘passengers’ screaming with delight as they spun around…but that feature is not quite up and running yet.
