Roto VR Chair Begins Shipping to Developers
So what can $1,000 buy you these days?
Check out this upcoming Roto VR Chair that spins as you play your favorite virtual reality games on the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, or Sony PSVR. Featuring all the bells and whistles, this appears to work by detecting your head's position with a headtracker and spinning the chair accordingly. We haven't yet tried it for ourselves, so we don't know if this introduces a new type of motion sickness or not - but it looks darned cool!
They've started to ship to developers with consumer shipments beginning in February, 2018.

Re: Roto VR Chair Begins Shipping to Developers
If the rotation is driven by your head position, then rotation is not connected to the visual representation of the VR world. Also, the system seems rather slow, compared to how fast people turn their bodies around.
Sounds like a system designed to induce nausea. Certainly do not buy, until you get to do a test drive yourself.
