“Whirlwind FX’s mission is to develop a fully-immersive experience that goes beyond the boundaries of sight and sound. The thrill of the sensation will unlock a new way of playing games, watching videos and experiencing media” say the guys and gals at Whirlwind FX.
What is Vortx?
Vortx is a peripheral PC video game device in the shape of a 14-inch tall cylinder that allows players to become part of the action in an entirely new way. It is the world’s first environmental simulator that connects to your TV or PC, analyzes what is happening on screen and generates the suitable sensation.
In this way, it employs your senses beyond sight and sound. Now you can immerse yourself in your favorite game with touch as well. Feel the heat of a dragon’s breath, the coldness of ice or gentle summer breeze with the help of Vortx’s control of airflow, pressure, and temperature. Movies in cinemas all over the world now come with an immersive 4D experience, but this device is the first in-home PC system that bridges real and virtual environments.
“Vortx controls the airflow and temperature of its nearby surroundings to replicate on-screen scenarios, such as explosions or gunfire. By analyzing what is happening in the scene Vortx emulates both subtle and overt environmental cues to transport you into the heart of the action,” the developers say. Vortx brings you a 4D immersive game experience without having to change the way you play games.
