Feel Ship Simulator 2008 with amBX

by WorldOfSimulation on March 6, 2008

VSTEP and Philips are to demonstrate Ship Simulator 2008 with amBX at the Amsterdam Boat Show which runs from the 4th to the 9th of March.

Shorthand for “ambient experiences”, amBX reinvents the gameplay experience by extending the traditional gaming world out of the screen and into the real world. amBX delivers full „surround senses‟ by allowing developers to use light, colour, sound, rumble and even air flow through enabled devices, including the Philips amBX PC Gaming Peripherals range of LED colour-controlled lighting, rumble peripherals and variable speed desktop fans.

So, you’ll be able to feel the wind in your face when sailing the seas! This actually sounds like it could be good fun. I would imagine the setup would work pretty well with racing games, too. You can read the full press release here.
