Movie theatre
Selected movie theatres in USA and Canada are equipped with motion seats. The first movie to support D-BOX motion code was Fast & Furious released on April 3, 2009.[3]
Home theatre
A standalone motion controller box or a PC based motion controller reads information about a movie title directly from the disc or by using "motion code" provided from an active Internet connection and relays motion signals to connected motion-equipped seats. Currently the system supports a library of around 1,000 movies.[4]
Many studios now support D-BOX technology by adding motion code to select Blu-ray titles:
- Fox began supporting D-BOX in 2006[5]
- Lionsgate as of November, 2007[6]
- Disney as of December, 2007[7]
- Sony as of March, 2008[8]
