A movement simulator loveseat may go like something out of a porno flick , but the D - BOX Quest Loveseat motion simulator is meant for an immersive habitation theater experience . Each tete-a-tete has a 2 - axis vertebra motion simulator system that ’s contemporize with onscreen natural process and audio . D - BOX actually encodes motion picture into their proprietary F / X motion code that they can then download into the system . Recent example include The Hitchhiker ’s Guide to the Galaxy , Alexander , and The Ring ( Two ) . The melodic theme is that viewers can then be physically immersed in the movie , ala that Back To The Future ride at Universal . The seating can be controlled with a Kinetron controller , or with a “ Motion Controller Interface ” and some personal computer software . There ’s also an Internet subscription religious service that allows user to reach the D - BOX F / X Motion Code library , so that they can download the codification for the moving picture of their choice . All this may sound terribly exciting , but I do n’t have it away about having all of this question simulation in my living room — think the flight Zea mays everta ! Plus I do n’t think nuzzle up with your dear on a movement pretending loveseat is that great of an idea , unless there ’s some screw regard . In which eccentric , I ’m all for it .
Not that it matters since I ca n’t afford this anyway : Each Quest Series 100 Integrated Motion Simulation Loveseat starts at $ 8300 for one covered in NuSuede , to about $ 10,700 for one in leather . You also have to cough up some extra cash for the PC - free-base accountant and software for $ 1,000 , while the Kinetron Controller with built - in 40 GB hard drive is $ 3,200 . As for the subscription renewal fee , that ’s about $ 250-$500 a yr . That ’s well over $ 10,000 just to get the basic material , and even more for the high - end equipment . I think I ’ll just stick to my boring ol motionless couch .
