Powersoft to shake up IAAPA Expo in Orlando with Mover

Powersoft will mark its debut at IAAPA Expo, the largest trade show for the attractions industry, by showcasing Mover.

The company’s low-frequency direct-drive/tactile transducer is designed to reproduce sound via haptic perception, or the body’s capability to feel low-end frequencies through bone conduction. Mover can be used in moving floors, seats and rides to transfer audible and inaudible frequencies to the human body.

Mover enables AV professionals who provide solutions for immersive experiences to add ultra-low frequency haptic feedback to their final products. It has been used to add another dimension to theme and amusement park rides, museum exhibitions and science centres.
 
Its compact nature and power-to-size prowess allow it to be integrated into small spaces, without orientation limits. Driven by audio content, Mover offers straightforward integration and delivers haptic information with unique precision and an extended dynamic range. The resulting product elevates any AV immersive experience while reducing concerns about low-frequency noise pollution.
 
The technology is being employed at the Illuminarium venues in Atlanta and Las Vegas, where a 162-Mover installation is allowing thousands of visitors to experience the ground-shaking tremor of an elephant’s stomp or the low-end rumble of a space rocket launch.

Mover is also at the heart of Amsterdam’s Our House museum and nightclub, where an infrasound haptic floor system allows visitors and clubbers to physically feel the music around them.

Marc Kocks, key account and business development consultant for Powersoft, said: “Mover allows for an unprecedented and immersive user experience. It can give the audience the sensation of falling, elevation or being shaken as part of an attraction.

“As the only way to feel AV, Mover opens up a whole world of possibilities for attractions to grow their footfall and revenue with entirely new experiences for their audiences.
 
Powersoft will be on booth #465 in the Show Production & Design Pavilion at IAAPA Expo 2022, which will take place at the Orange County Convention Center, in Orlando, on 14-18 November.
