Kinemaniacs, we’ve time traveled a year, upgraded and tuned the Portal Dev Kit, now based in Austin, Texas, ready to build, Let’s ride!
We’re the minds behind the Portal Dev Kit, a team driven to change how you move, feel, and create. Born from years of innovation, we’ve built a $3,500 kit that lifts 250 kilograms with nano-precision, syncs to your games in under 2 milliseconds, and runs on just 15 watts. It’s motion like never before-powerful, personal, and yours to build.
At Kinemaniacs, we’re a community of makers-unboxing, assembling, and dreaming up what’s next. We’re the backbone-crafting the tech, pushing the limits, and planning upgrades that’ll take this further. Together, we’re not just selling a kit; we’re inspiring an evolution.
Our story began with a spark: what if a high performance motion platform could be affordable? From a single idea, we’ve grown into a team ready to ship dev kits each one a ticket to feel the future. Whether you’re a gamer, a builder, or a dreamer, this is for you.
Our Portal Dev Kit is built to move you. Powered by world first direct-drive motors 6-degree-of-freedom (DD6DoF) system that lifts 250 kilograms with nano-precision, and 21-bit encoders for trillion-step accuracy. With a 1kHz response and under 2 milliseconds of latency, it syncs to your games or builds instantly. Three pneumatic pistons balance the load, floating a human on just 15 watts. At Kinemaniacs, we’ re engineering the upgrades to push it further. At Ark Dynamics, we hand you the kit to create. This is motion, redefined.
Kinemaniacs is the heart and soul, a crew pulsing with passion, fueling the creator’s community. Ark’s the body, the framework, built to bring the Portal Dev Kit to market. Together, they beat as one.
The Kinemaniacs, our fierce pack of developers, enthusiasts, creators, drive motion’s evolution. Through challenges, workshops, builds, they’ re pushing tech higher, shaping the maniacs with each hack. Our community’s on a private Discord server, verified preorder access, a public channel for info and engagement, special titles for OGs, supporters and contributors.
FlyPT Mover’s an open source motion tool, hacked together by a Kinemaniacs legend who alpha tested our early Dev Kit, turning game data into realtime rig vibes. This SDK’s your key, letting devs like you craft wild sim builds. It’s proof our crew’s got the fire, join Kinemaniacs and spark the next big thing.
It’ s been a year, and we’ve ditched the wires for ease of use, making installation and updates a breeze. We’ve tuned our tech to the max, pushing the 6DOF rig’ s 1ms sync to new heights. Dive into the tech details for pipeline upgrades that’ ll make this worth the wait.
We’ve tuned the PDK beast for silky smooth sync and top-tier performance, ready to evolve sim worlds. Gearheads, we added a chassis for your tinkering pleasure, integrated for max power. Check out the dev page for more. KM’s DIY crew has been hard at work for you!
Seldom does a project launch with so much innovation, wait till you see the pipeline KM’ s cooking up! Our community’ s growing, built one dev kit at a time, sharing next-level sim thrills. It’ s your turn to join the mavericks, let’ s hack the future of sims together!
