At CEDIA 2008, Philippe Roy, Chief Technology Officer for D-BOX, discusses how they are bringing home entertainment into a whole new dimension. D-BOX Motion Code is a sophisticated, groundbreaking technology that creates real-life motion perfectly synchronized to on-screen movie and gaming action. All the motion is encoded frame by frame by a skilled D-BOX motion artist. You simply pop your Blu-ray disc or DVD of a title that appears in the D-BOX Motion Code Library (over 800 titles currently available) in your Blu-ray or DVD player. The D-BOX Controller automatically matches the movie in the player, downloads the corresponding D-BOX Motion Code and sends it to your D-BOX-equipped seating. Their home theater seating, and racing and flight simulator models for gaming, use proprietary advanced robotics technology, built-in commercial-grade motion actuators including pistons, low-friction motion devices and high-tech motors. They’re small but powerful and robust, and have the capability of producing up to 2 Gs of acceleration.
