Colbach Hadley are the exclusively authorised distributor for the Odyssee Motion Simulator system in the UK. The Odyssee system is manufactured by D-Box Technologies of Canada and features revolutionary new ground breaking technology. It's taken four years of research and development to bring this technology to the market place. All of the components have been designed and manufactured from new and start to finish.
		The Odyssee system adds a new dimension to film viewing enjoyment - the dimension of motion and movement. The Odyssee processor achieves this in two ways: firstly, by extracting information from the soundtrack and turning it into computer coded motion algorithms. Secondly, by interpretation of specially pre-encoded CD-ROM data which synchronises automatically with a DVD. These motion codes are then sent to four separate actuators which sit at all four corners of the required seating area, or the seating platform itself. The seating is thus supported at all four points (see diagram). Highly sophisticated programming applications send signals to micro processors located within each actuator. The result is stunning! Whilst each actuator only moves a maximum of half an inch in height the sensation is like being in an amusement park simulator. Car chases, rocket lift offs, action movies all take on a dramatic new feeling - the feeling that you are actually in the film! You experience the same motional forces experienced by the actors and events that you're watching.
The technology is a world first and is only now available in the UK. This system is a 'must have' for any high end Home Cinema and can be easily fitted to any existing system in just half a day. Odyssee does not displace any existing components but simply adds a totally new dimension. Not to be confused with subwoofers and 'buttshaker transducers' this is a system that really does work! The system is fully upgradeable and up to 200 motion tracks can be encoded on a single CD-ROM.
