D-Box introduces the rockin' GP-100 race chair |
Ó
A chair is still a chair even when there's no-one sitting there. But the GP-100 race chair, seen at CES 2007, is no ordinary place for sitting. "The all new GP-100 motion gaming chair is not an evolution, it's a complete revolution that will change the future of gaming," says the official website.
Manufactured by D-BOX, a company known for its high-end motion sensing home theater seats, the GP-100 racing is a PC game accessory. The GP-100 provides the "first true" racing simulator with motion designed for home use. It uses D-BOX actuators for a full three-axis motion, turning right and left, braking and accelerating through the gears. It even mimics movements caused by bumps and craters of the road. You can see how its shakes and rattles in the Popular Mechanics video above.
The company will also release updates that will allow other game genres to be experienced through chair such as first person game modules for shooting, combat, fantasy, sports, flight sims, and more. D-BOX also have plans to make the chair compatible with video game consoles sometime in the future.
In case you're thinking this rockin' chair may be a bit on the pricey side, well, you're absolutely right. It costs about US$ 15,000. Games not included.
