***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***
Redland, WA - SEPTEMBER 19, 2003 - MetaCortex
Corp. announced today the development of
its new MetaVRX (Virtual Reality eXtreme) entertainment system, for use in conjunction
with its MetaGamex computer gaming console.
The MetaVRX entertainment system is currently
the most sophisticated Virtual Reality complex
developed for the home entertainment market.
Consisting of a set of MetaVRX goggles, a
stereo headset, infrared tactile sensor/emitters
and an olfactory chest plate, the MetaVRX
system breaks new ground in providing absolutely
immersive, lifelike, convincing gaming like
nothing ever seen before.
“Our new MetaVRX system will take gaming a
quantum leap beyond anything that our competitors
have been able to create so far,” stated
The MetaVRX system uses new proprietary MetaCortex
software to actually anticipate the players'
moves, buffering what it thinks will happen
in order to avoid any kind of perceptual
lag on the player's behalf. “This lag has
been the primary limitation on the gaming
community's willingness to wholly embrace
true virtual reality systems in the past,
since it has a tendency to make players nauseous,
which clearly is not in our best interest
as a developer,” stated Walsh. “However,
all indications are that these anomalies
have been completely eliminated from the
core MetaVRX operating system.”
Providing sensory input to four of the five
senses, the MetaVRX system will let players
see in stereo 3-D vision, hear in simulated
surround stereo, feel objects when they’re
held or impact their bodies, sense temperature
changes, and even smell their simulated surroundings.
“Players have yet to realize how important
olfactory feedback is in the gaming world,
because they take it for granted in the real
world,” Walsh continued. “Imagine the adrenaline
rush as, while you’re exploring an alien
world, you realize that you are smelling
the sour musky odor of an invisible grungbeast.
That smell could give you those precious
extra seconds that may mean the difference
between life and death, or at least having
to start a level over.”
MetaCortex has only recently made inroads
into the gaming genre. Known for its expertise
in developing business and information applications,
the Company has made a huge impact worldwide,
quickly becoming *the* force to be reckoned
with in the computer industry.
