Our motion platforms are self-contained making them convenient enough to take on the road or fill an existing room.
Unparalleled Acceleration !
Our XD Theater seats boats up to 2 G’s of acceleration and up to 400 movements per second
thanks to our industry leading patented technology. This is a huge step up from the limited
1 G standard that most other motion ride platforms on the market currently offer.
Wide Range of Application !
The XD Theater offers a greater advantage over other motion platforms. The XD Theater can
turn any existing movies into a thrilling and exciting rider experience, since our state of the art
motion seat technology provides more than just jolts and tilts – It provides a true experience !
Maintenance Made Easy : High Tech Intelligence !
We understand that operational efficiency is the greatest asset in running a motion platform.
Every XD Theater actuator has a digital signal processor (DSP) that communicates a constant
data stream to the main station. Each individual actuator allows the station to know at all times
their operational status. If an actuator should malfunction, this information is sent to the station describing exactly what happened – And this instant diagnostic lets the system self adjust !
Troubleshooting this easy makes our product an operator’s dream ! The self diagnostic program
tells the XD Theater system which part of the actuator is defective for simple and accurate service.
What kind of projectors are used?
In most of our installations, we use (720P) commercial DLP HD projectors in a dual configuration
mode to produce 3D effects, we may change the requirements when working on a customized location.
Why electric vs pneumatic or hydraulic?
Electric motion base systems are a cost effective and easy way to maintain systems that can be operated with no special technical knowledge; anyone can operate and maintain the theater easily. Whereas a specific trained technician will be needed for any pneumatic or hydraulic based system
