Hey Everyone! This new topic is meant for you to discuss the latest blogs you can access on our corporate website! It goes hand-in-hand with a new challenge you can find on the sim racing page but you can of course discuss blogs from any subjects!
BLOG Talk!
I like that you are showcasing other uses for the D-Box platform. While a lot of us use it for Home Theater, it is nice to know it can be used for simulation as well.

Excellent write up, very straightforward. I think it would be common to underestimate how strong a rig would need to be to handle the constant forces it would be subjected to.
Thanks for the input guys!
Glad to see you both enjoyed the content, much more to come from our awesome copywriter!
I fully agree with the previous speaker, I also think it’s very good that gamers are discussed here. Many do not even know that you can also play games with d-box 
Btw: Perhaps a hardware hint would also be good that does not need a HEMC to play, but only a KAI-P.

Thanks for the input Matthias!
That is a good point that hardware varies depending not only on the product generation you have but also the application you intend to use it for!
Like Anthony has said previously, I like seeing the other uses for d-box besides home theater/movie theater showcased.

The Pandemic really lead to a wave of people getting into racing simulation at home! Awesome to see a fair share of them have gone for D-BOX as well!

This is just for me personally and maybe a few others: But I might give it a go if you can do a setup video on how to use a home theater D-Box chair as a gaming chair/sim chair as well.
What is all needed outside of the Chair with actuators and ACM?
PC Software setup?
How to connect the chair to the PC?
Things like this.
Q: With what you now know, what would make YOU get your hands on a D-BOX haptic system?
A: Despite the most obvious answer of the price I think one of the biggest obstacles will be room/space. This is why I have been pondering on the best way to utilize my home theater chairs for Sim Racing/VR. With the introduction of the Jaymar line, I think there is a great opportunity to bring gaming accessories to this line. In addition, haptic sync with modern gaming consoles would open this venture to a much larger world of gamers.

I used to own a racing rig back in the day which had a racing seat, steering wheel, pedals and shift stick. I regret not ever implementing D-BOX with it as that would have taken the immersion to the next level. Should have never sold it…
I’m curious how this is set-up. Videos online would be super helpful.

Anthony, If you already have a movie setup it very easy.
The KAI dongle that plugs into your HEMC gets unplugged and the USB then plugged into a laptop or gaming PC. On that PC download the free “motion core” and buy a game on the list from something like a Steam account. I use a simple PS3 game remote to play games off my laptop onto my 85" screen from my movie chair. Nothing else needed because you have most of it already.

Very insightful, Thank you Brandon! We are aware of these points and it’s reassuring to see our audience is aligned with us!
We’re working on… things 
If you go to our youtube channel, we have a few tutorial videos, however we are aware that more would be needed to cover our entire library of products and their many possible configurations!
Cheers,
I really like tutorial videos as it’s like having a virtual instructor while I’m working on a project.
I have a movie setup already and I’m excited to hear that it is actually possible to use it for gaming. I always thought I would have to buy a completely separate system for this. As mentioned above by Brandon, having the extra space for a dedicated set up is a prohibitive factor. I would go for it if I had step by step instructions or video tutorials as suggested by Tim.
Being able to use D-Box with modern gaming consoles??!! 
I’m in! 
I already own 2 d-box home seats but would be nice if xbox series x or playstation 5 games would also be supported by an app for this platform

You are one of many fans that have been requesting a console compatibility feature! Be sure that we have heard you and are working hard on making it happen! The difference in software and accessibility from PC make it harder but we are on it!
