Cooler Master's $2,000 Gaming Chair Features Haptic Feedback

Gaming chairs come in a variety of shapes and very loud colors, but one thing that has been missing from this furniture is a way to make them more immersive. PC accessories manufacturer Cooler Master and haptics specialist D-BOX plans to change that with the Motion 1, a chair that incorporates the same technology from theaters and theme parks to provide users with haptic feedback support while playing a game or watching a movie.

It's worth noting that the chair will only work with nearly 200 PC games for now while Cooler Master works on console game integration. It won't be cheap either as $2,000 is the starting price-point and goes up to $2,300 for the top-tier Motion 1.

"This innovation will provide movement and vibration to gamers, allowing them to have a better experience by bringing an immersive and more realistic aspect to the game," D-BOX president Sébastien Mailhot said in a press release. "Cooler Master has developed a unique and versatile design, providing unparalleled comfort for working, playing, and for watching movies, while also benefiting from high-fidelity haptic movement."

While the teaser trailer reveals very little of what the chair actually looks like, the few glimpses seen did reveal a swivel base, plenty of padding, and a throne-like silhouette.
