The project follows a structured Design Science Research (DSR) methodology in which the principal artifact is the integrated VR motion platform.
Development is organized around iterative design and evaluation cycles, bridging theoretical requirements with practical hardware-software implementation. The methodology ensures that every physical and virtual subsystem is systematically built, tested, and refined before formal user evaluations take place.
Iterative Subsystem Development
Development is organized around four interacting technical components derived from the project architecture, ensuring modular refinement and targeted evaluation.
These subsystems encompass motion rendering and control, environmental interaction modeling, latency and synchronization analysis, and mechanical design and stability.
This separation allows subsystem development to proceed in parallel while preserving a common integration architecture. Each module undergoes independent prototyping before being synthesized into the unified platform to guarantee high reliability, safety, and performance repeatability.

Conclusion
The Design Science Research framework provides a rigorous foundation for building and testing complex multisensory VR environments.
By combining iterative artifact design with controlled technical validation, the project bridges the gap between simulated visual environments and physical embodiment. This structured approach ensures high reliability, safety, and performance repeatability across the entire navigation system.
