New D-BOX Seats, Scotiabank Cineplex Chinook
Went to an afternoon showing of Rango at Chinook, and they had 3 rows of new Dbox seats installed. Rango didn't use the seats, but a 3 minute clip of Polar Express used them as a demonstration.

D-Box seats, which are available at a premium price, shake, shimmy, and rumble in sync with the on-screen action, allowing movie-goers to enjoy certain flicks with an added dimension of interactivity. The movements are subtle, can be dialed up or down, and only occur when necessary in a movie: for example, during a high-speed car chase, or a high action fight scene. To achieve this, D-Box personnel code participating movies frame-by-frame prior to its theatre release.
The deal will eventually see 120 D-Box seats added to 10 theatres in Canada over the next year.
"Our agreement with Cineplex has provided us with the means for sizeable growth of our advanced technology within the Canadian market, and further validates the appeal of our progressive business model," says Claude Mc Master, President and CEO of D-Box Technologies.
