Actual cockpit controls

[fallingnate]

Curious about any experimentation using an actual physical setting (ie, a car driver seat) as a VR input device. The idea would be to 3d scan the interior (via photo collage or any other technique), then instrument the actual control inputs (steering wheel, shifter, pedals, etc) for use in VR. Obviously, there are a lot of steps and technical hurdles, but just curious if anyone has tried it. Seems like the best input device would be the real one.
