The new tech-loaded seats, believe it or not, will behave based on the action taking place in the movie, causing the seats to tilt and shake in some real synchronization with the onscreen action. These are termed as motion-activated theater seats.
Thanks to D-BOX Technologies’ Motion Systems, you need not wait any longer to feel the action under your seat. Beginning April 3, you can experience these seats with the release of Universal Pictures’ new action-thriller, Fast & Furious.
The tech action is already getting hot around Fast & Furious, as GoldSpot Media and Solid Ground Communications have just launched an interactive mobile trailer for the movie.
D-BOX Technologies will debut its Motion Systems for the first time during this theatrical release. The seats are equipped with the company’s Motion technology and use D-BOX Motion Effects.
Audience members, says the company, will feel all the shifts and rumbles of an opening hijacking sequence; however the seats will remain still during the quieter, dialogue-driven scenes. The seats are in motion for about a third of the film, including intelligent vibrations that move along to the soundtrack and stronger movements for the action scenes.
“We are thrilled to finally offer our Motion Systems for the public to experience,” says Claude McMaster, president and CEO of D-BOX Technologies. “Our goal is to provide moviegoers with an unmatched realistic immersive experience.”
D-BOX’s Motion Systems will debut April 3 at the Mann Chinese 6 Theatre in Hollywood and UltraStar Surprise Pointe 14 in Arizona – claimed to be the first two movie theaters in the world to feature the new technology.
Well this is awesome! Hope they expand and get to a theater near me.
