I saw this a few years ago:

--<cut>--
A patented method to supply synthetic motion. MotionWare is a
Direct Brain Interface Device that triggers nerves to make you
feel like you're moving when you're not, without mechanical parts.

Pity they haven't managed to commercialize it yet.

Motionware is not yet commercially available, but once it's mass
produced, we estimate the cost at LESS THAN $100 PER UNIT.
