D-BOX SEATING – home cinema that really moves you

The front three reclining seats and the double ‘love seat’ behind are all equipped with D-BOX cinematic motion systems. A D-BOX Controller identifies content regardless of the source (DVD, Blu-ray or streaming sources such as Netflix and AppleTV), and simply transmits the motion codes from its to the chairs in sync with the playback. Importantly, the movement is subtle enough to be non-distracting, but highly immersive.

“D-BOX adds to the suspension of disbelief,” says Wavetrain’s David Moseley. “If you want to be a part of the movie, then you should be feeling what the characters on screen are. We’ve had many clients sit on D-BOX and say ‘I didn’t think I would be experiencing that!’ — it’s because D-BOX is so fast and most movements are so small that you can’t see most of what the client is feeling. No one wants a theme park ride in their cinema. Good motion should be something that is forgotten. Most clients forget it is on and just enjoy the movie.”

Most movies are D-BOX coded before cinematic release (since there are D-BOX-equipped public cinemas, including Hoyts locations in Australia), and codes exist for more than 2000 movies. The owner of this cinema told Wavetrain: “You were right about D-BOX.

I now could not imagine watching movies without it.”
