@MowTin - Why just arcade? If you take a look at it it's not much bigger then an armchair in width.

Will it would be good for arcades to make loads of money on just a $2000 setup like this, it's good that it is also offered to the consumer at such a low price..

±90 means from -90 to +90, which is 180 degrees. It can't roll/pitch that much. It's really ±45-50.
±3600 is 20 complete rotations.
It might be slightly concerning that a product that wants you to sit inside of a giant motorised hemisphere is made by people who don't know how many degrees are in a circle or how ± works. 🙂
(or they need one of the engineers to proofread their marketing material)

That depends, if you are only spinning around one way it would be a problem, but this setup isn't designed to just spin one way. I have my Rift cable attached to a Bungee clip and a piece of string above my head. I can use room scale without the cable getting in the way now and spin round on my swivel chair no problem. However, if was to spin on my swivel chair one way only then the cable would eventually get a bit tangled I think. I don't know for sure though because I've spun around quite a few times in one direction and it still seems okay.

The kickstarter is live.It's been open for about 30min and already has 41% of it's goal.Oops, while writing this it jumped to 50%. 🙂At only $2632au for the early bird price (only 25 of them), I'd definitely buy one, if I had any room for it.(Non early bird price is $7021au)
