amBX 2.1 PC Gaming Speaker System

Ultimate PC Gaming with Light Vibration and air effects

Philips amBX Gaming Speaker System are a unique range of PC gaming hardware. amBX stands for ambient experiences. It is a middleware system, incorporating hardware and a software engine with scripting language. Game developers use the scripting language to embed effects in the game, for example triggering explosion simulating effects as a rocket hits a wall. The software engine then mediates between the developer intentions and the capabilities of the devices connected to the PC to enrich the user experience. For example, when a rocket explodes a set of fans will produce a burst of air, the lights will flash, the wrist-rumbler will vibrate and the speakers will boom.

Lights, fans and rumbler respond to game and character conditions in amBX enabled games
Up to 5000 RPM variable speed fans and rumble pad
Multiple lamps with LED technology deliver over 16 million colors

@bendybus .. if you look at the list of features, the A-R-E kit is further ahead in many aspects. They also took the approach of providing ambient reality effects support via AI as opposed to need for in-game support .. http://shop.a-r-e.nl/index.php?main_page=page&id=14&chapter=0
