Features

• Sony D-Box is a motion system built into movie theater seats, or the platforms on which they are housed, to create real-time motion effects for viewers. D-Box enabled movies have a particular series of D-Box motions that are synchronized with the action on the screen for the viewer's entertainment.
  
  

Significance

• Providing a different movie-viewing experience for customers and a new technology for cinema owners, the Sony D-Box is striving to become the next revolution in movie experiences. However, many are concerned over pricing of hardware, as well as limited availability for multiple movie titles, which is currently hindering its expansion.
  
  

Considerations

• Sony D-Box has also reached out to include motion generation for homes, provided through specifically manufactured chairs for home-theater viewing. It is also being used in simulators providing realistic horse-riding motion for the disabled.
