D-BOX Empowers Simulation and Training Community With a New Generation of Motion-Cueing Systems

Bringing unparalleled freedom and control over virtual training kinaesthetic cues


LONGUEUIL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - June 13, 2016) - D-BOX Technologies Inc. (TSX:DBO) is proud to introduce "D-BOX Gen II" (for 2nd generation) actuators for the training and simulation community. This latest evolution of its motion-cueing solutions gives adopters an unprecedented range of creativity and flexibility, yet stays true to the ease of deployment and cost efficiency the company is recognized for.

More degrees of freedom to make the impossible possible

D-BOX adopters will be able to unleash their creative potential and reproduce any type of motion with D-BOX actuators. Once integrated, the D-BOX Gen II actuators are able to generate motion cues both vertically and horizontally giving integrators the capability of building a great freedom of movement in three-dimensional space (6 DOF) platforms for absolute freedom and flexibility.

"D-BOX Gen II is bringing more freedom and evolution capabilities to simulation and training technical experts who understand the significance of feeling real world cues in a virtual training environment", explains Claude Mc Master, President and Chief Executive Officer of D-BOX. "D-BOX Gen II is our way of responding to the needs of this community who has been asking for a solution like this for some time."

Scalability meets evolution

In keeping with its long-standing commitment to give customers the ability to build on their investment, D-BOX designed the new Gen II to be retro compatible with all existing D-BOX Motion Code software. In addition, by making their motion-cueing solutions more flexible and expansive, D-BOX gives their clients the power to scale up on their existing software and bring the immersive simulation and training experience to a whole new level.

D-BOX Gen II will be officially available on September 15th, 2016, however early adopters can get advance access prior to the launch. If you have questions or need more information, please contact simulation@d-box.com.
