Home Theater Chairs Help Users To Really ‘Feel’ The Action
First there was the home theater surround sound to help users feel as though they were at the movies and now there are home theater chairs to further enhance the home movie experience. There are already commercial versions of the Tremor FX theater chairs at select high-tech theaters across the country, but the team at RedSeat Entertainment have adapted the algorithm of the technology to specifically work within the home.
Taking Home Entertainment To The Next Level
Tremor FX home edition will work in sync with the soundtrack to a game or movie and send pulses and vibrations through the chair actuators via wireless transmitters so that every vibration in the game or movie is transmitted to the chair in order for the user to really feel the action. Action movies, first person shoot ‘em up games and countless other forms of entertainment will be a complete experience for the users of the Tremor FX home theatre chairs. The chairs technology can be integrated easily into home cinema systems via HDMI and the wireless box takes up minimal.
The chairs are definitely high tech but the creators assure people that they are simple to install. There are even talks about sharing details with game developers in order to further enhance the synchronization between the chairs and the game to fully immerse the player in the action of the game.
Available Now
The chairs are available to buy now, though they’re not the cheapest chairs in the world and it’s thought that for a set of 4 home theater chairs, consumers will have to put aside at least $20,000. People got their first glimpse of the chairs at the 2013 CEDIA EXPO in Denver, Colorado on September 26 -28. Although this might price a lot of people out of the running, there’s every possibility that now the technology is out there, more affordable options will come along a little way down the road.

Instant Translation Glasses For 2020 Tokyo Olympics
Japan’s NTT Docomo has sparked new excitement for the Tokyo Olympics by announcing that a 5G network 100 times faster than LTE and augmented reality glasses that can do instant translations, will both be ready by 2020.
These new innovations were displayed at the CEATEC 2013 event in Tokyo this week. The network technology is still early on in the development stage but it does reveal that NTT Docomo plans to deliver a very fast network with 1,000 times the capacity of LTE.
However NTT isn’t the first to announce plans for 5G. Huawei spoke of a similar super-fast network back in August and Samsung too has demonstrated 1Gbps wireless technology.
NTT hasn’t provided much detail about the network but apparently the firm is hoping to tap higher frequencies with small cells used to boost coverage in certain areas.
As well as the network, NTT Docomo also showcased augmented reality glasses which can instantly translate text. So far the translation time is five seconds but this is likely to improve as the technology is refined.
These would certainly be a useful tool for those visiting Japan in 2020 but they will need to be spot on to avoid embarassing and albeit hilarious mis-translations.
The glasses also have the ability to interact with a flat surface as if it was a touchscreen. It works with a specially designed ring that records and relays hand movements of the user.
It will be interesting to see how these two technologies enhance the enjoyment of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
