Motion simulation chair

Watch Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, and be uplifted at the same time. Literally. D-Box's Quest X3ME (pronounced "extreme") chairs draw you into the action by synchronizing with the onscreen movement and sound. In short, your own home theater motion simulation setup. According to specs, this hot seat provides dramatic motion at up to 2 Gs of acceleration, and is capable of 100 movements per second. Just remember to keep a barf bag by the side for when the ride gets too wild. For movies that work with your D-Box, check in here.
