New Interactive Motion Simulation for PC Gaming Unveiled at E3

May 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- D-BOX Technology, Inc. announced today that they will preview an expansion of their patented, award-winning Odyssee Motion Simulator technologies into the PC gaming arena, together with leading videogame software publisher Activision, Inc., during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, May 14-16, 2003. D-BOX founder and president Michel Jacques commented, "We're pleased and proud to partner with gaming industry leader Activision who will be showcasing a prototype of a gaming-specific version of Odyssee in conjunction with the first public exhibition of their exciting new Call of Duty first person action franchise during E3." Shipping to the worldwide custom installation home theater market since January of 2001, Odyssee motion simulation brings an entirely new level of excitement and realism to the gaming environment with intense, dramatic motion on three planes (Up/Down, Front/Back and Left/Right) at up to 2 Gs of acceleration, in perfect synchronization with control maneuvers and game sequences.

Activision's Booth 1224, Los Angeles Convention Center, during E3 will feature Call of Duty demonstration sequences in a vintage World War II Jeep, outfitted with high-resolution flat-panel monitors in place of its windshield, with front seats interactively motion-activated by Odyssee for what promises to be the ultimate multimedia gaming experience.

The first title in the Call of Duty series is a gritty, authentic World War II first person action game for the PC that is being developed by Infinity Ward, a newly formed studio that includes 22 of the individuals who previously developed Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. In Call of Duty, players assume the role of different characters from multiple sides of the Allied forces and experience the bonding and brutality of war as they fight alongside their squad mates through a variety of missions, including battlefield assaults, search and rescue, stealth, sabotage, vehicle chases and tank battles.

"The Call of Duty brand will deliver the most authentic, intense and realistic battlefield experience from the perspective of multiple soldiers battling on the frontlines. Wars are won through the collective efforts, teamwork and bonds of everyday citizen soldiers from an alliance of nationalities who all heed their call of duty," states Dusty Welch, vice president of global brand management, Activision, Inc. "Visitors to E3 who experience Odyssee and Call of Duty will be blown away as they're completely immersed in the incredible realism of video, audio and motion incorporated into this revolutionary combination of creativity and leading edge technologies," added Rob Robinson, director of sales for D-BOX Technology, Inc.
