Kinemaniacs: the community around the Portal Development Kit (PDK)

Welcome to the
Kinemaniacs Community!

This is the community around the Portal Development Kit (PDK). Join the Discord and subscribe to the newsletter below. Whether you’re building sim racing, XR or robotics projects, you’re now part of a crew that’s redefining immersion with our 6-DOF, direct-drive platform.

At Kinemaniacs, we’re redefining motion. Born from a dream to levitate humans with hoverboard motors, our 6-DOF Portal Dev Kit (PDK) blurs the line between virtual and real. Today the PDK carries its load on pneumatic compensators; "Maglev" is ARK's name for the friction and gravity compensation maps in the drive firmware.

PDK

Make it yours.

Build on the Portal Development Kit (PDK), a 6-DOF development kit for developers and the community that builds on it. Powered by high-torque direct drive motors and 21-bit encoders, it turns your game into motion 1,000 times a second (1 kHz game to motion), with a 3.3 kHz control loop and 8 kHz field-oriented control (FOC) per motor. With a planned community hub you can code, tweak, build and share next-level experiences, from sim racing to robotics, in a compact, energy-efficient package. Development Kit: early-access hardware, software in active development.

Spark for Devs:

What could you create if motion reacted faster than thought?

  • immersive gaming and simulation experiences ?

  • a floating city where players glide, fight, or explore ?

  • pro-level shared experiences ?
