Immersive Entertainment Chairs

SoundNova's Seat is Interactive For an Engaging Virtual Experience

— July 11, 2016 — Art & Design
The SoundNova entertainment chair is designed to provide an immersive and interactive atmosphere during gaming. The chair works in conjunction with a mobile app that syncs the setting in the game to be translated into movements felt within the chair. This allows for a much more realistic playing experience that places the user directly into the virtual universe of the game.

The seat is engineered to be digitally capable to accept commands from the joining app that trigger eight different vibration points located throughout the chair. The vibrations are sent through as both tactile as well as audio components to create a multi-sensory experience for players so they can feel wind, explosions, car movements and more as if they were a part of the game's reality.

The tactile immersion of sound as well as movement is a way brands can provide an immersive playing experience that goes beyond virtual reality.
