Functional Description
The SenseForce Pad Extreme is a body sound simulating seat rest. With this seat rest music
and sound can be made „feel able“ similar to the sound experience on an Open Air. The
comfortable, compact and effective shape of construction enables an exceptionally easy and
quick installation on seating and lounge furniture: at home on a sofa or chair, in the office on
the office chair or on the gaming chair. With the Bluetooth connection the SenseForce Pad
Extreme is quickly connected with any audio device (e.g. Smart Phone, Home Cinema system,
Computer).
The SenseForce Pad Extreme is developed for immersive gaming, home-cinema and music
sensation, relaxation or body experience. It also works like a live bass booster in combination
to existing loud speakers or headphones. The new dimension of sensation, the tactile feedback,
is produced by vibrations:
•
Dependant on the setting of the vibration intensity and the quality of the played-in audio
signal the SenseForce Pad Extreme affects a mood-amplifying effect like energy and power
or a mood-attenuating effect like an embedded and pleasant relax-feeling.
•
Tactile stimulation enables an innovative complementation of details in your Gaming,
Home-Cinema or Music sounds and noise. In our 2D stimulation we perform directly on
your body location dependent special signals: with your Ego Shooter, Racing Game or
action-rich movie in your Home-Cinema or just from your Smartphone.
•
Space consuming or neighbour disturbing sub-woofers belong to the past, because your
Bass-Woofer experience can be felt directly on your body.
•
There is no need any more to turn your headphones on with high sound levels, because
you don’t need to simulate the missing body sound coming from a big sound system
anymore.
•
With limited usage of maximum vibration intensity, you also can experience something like
a “sound massage”.
