APPARATUS FOR THE CREATION OF A DESIRABLE ACOUSTICAL VIRTUAL REALITY

摘要

A portable collapsible seat (24) with an advanced five-driver (42, 44, 38, 56, 50) integral audio system is disclosed. The seat (24) is designed to be used in conjunction with a video screen (18) to create an enhanced "virtual reality" environment. The placement of the drivers relative to the user's head, combined with the intentionally different bandwidths of sound produced by the different drivers, and the relative acoustical intensities of the drivers produces psychologically "gripping" effect, designed to transport the user away from the reality of the actual surroundings and into the virtual reality of the video presentation. One of the drivers is intentionally oriented and positioned to provide tactilly perceivable vibration through the seat to the user.
