This is a world first. A unique FPS simulator that turns gaming into reality as you move, aim, fire and get shot within a 360-degree immersive environment.
Using a pre-release copy of Battlefield 3 and a team of top technology experts from across Europe we've built a truly one of a kind simulator.
Centred on the world's first, portable omni-directional treadmill (designed by Swedish company MSE Weibull) the simulator lets you control the movements of a Battlefield 3 character with your own body. Other key technology employed includes: 12 paintball markers that allow the player, in real time, to feel the enemy gunfire experienced in the game; a wireless gun system; ambient LED lighting; and an Xbox Kinect camera hack.
Dubbed the 'Ultimate Battlefield 3 Simulator', it ties together the game, a 360 degree dome, the world's first portable, omni-directional treadmill, motion tracking, surround sound, five HD projectors, 12 paintball markers which let you 'feel' enemy gunfire, a wireless gun, ambient LED lighting, and a Kinect camera hack. All told, the tech runs $650,000.
