Odyssee Motion Simulator System

Colbach Hadley are the exclusively authorised distributors for the Odyssee and Quest Motion Simulator systems in the UK. The systems are manufactured by D-Box Technologie of Canada and feature 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 from 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 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 Quest system fits this technology into a ready built luxury reclining cinema seat. Using two vertical actuators at the rear of the seat full left/right and forward/backward motion is achieved. Single or double 'loveseats' are available upholstered in either Nusuede or Premium Leather. 17 different colours are available. Seats can be supplied with either manual or motorised reclining mechanisms and controlled by either an Odyssee controller or a Motion Controller Interface which works with any Windows 2000 or XP computer. Updated motion codes are delivered via the Internet.

The technology is a world first and is only now available in the UK. The Odyssee system is a 'must have' for any high end Home Cinema and can be fitted to any new or existing system with no visible components showing anywhere. The controller can be 'stand alone' or rack mounted. 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 Quest system is simply 'plug and play!'. Place the seat in the required position, plug in the control and power cables and away you go!
