QuakeCon 2007 kicks off today, and Philips is there to demonstrate how well their amBX ambient experiences technology gets along with Quake 4. They've set up a multiplayer demo of a mod for the game created by their amBX team in order to take full advantage of all the system has to offer. As players run and jump they'll feel the wind in their hair, experience the jolt of landing. Weapons will have recoil and various custom effects, bullets will have impact, and blood will spatter in all its red LED glory. They've even set up the mod so that the light dims behind you when you use a weapon's sights, simulating sniper focus. Perhaps they'll be able to reverse the air peripherals to create a sucking effect for the losing team. That's full immersion right there. It really sounds like they've gone all out to make the most of the demo, so if you really want to see the full potential of the amBX technology, you've got until the 4th to make your way to Dallas and give it a go.
