The result of the proposal was move per request.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

D-BOX Technologies → D-Box Technologies — I believe the name is pronounced D box not D-B-O-X, so per the Manual on Style is should be D-Box. A Google News search shows that D-Box is a common form of the name used by the press.--Svgalbertian (talk) 17:53, 25 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support. Does not appear to be an acronym, so there is no need for stylistic all-caps. --DAJF (talk) 09:54, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Requested Edit
Please help me make these connected edits to improve the article, by adding missing company info, updating the history and adding and rearranging information about the different industries that use the company's haptic technology.
 * 1) Please add "| founder = Philippe Roy " to the infobox✅
 * 2) Please add "| area_served = Worldwide" to the infobox✅
 * 3) Please add "| industry = entertainment, movie theaters, sim racing, gaming, home theaters, professional simulation and training, attractions and theme parks"✅
 * 4) Please add "| products = haptic actuators, software "✅
 * 5) I'd like to expand the lead by adding this after "...training industries.": "Combining haptic technology with actuators provides physical sensations in a virtual setting. "✅
 * 6) I'd like to add this after the first paragraph of the history section: "In August 2005, Claude McMaster became the company's President and CEO. "✅
 * 7) I'd like to add this paragraph to the history section: "In May 2019, the company announced that its simulation technology was being used by Monaco-based company RS Simulation in its Sector One racing simulator. "✅
 * 8) This can be the last paragraph in the history section: "In December 2022, D-BOX collaborated with simulation company RSEAT to develop the HF-L4, a sim racing and theatre system based on D-BOX's G5 haptic motion system. "✅
 * 9) I'd like to replace the first paragraph of the products and services section with this info, which better explains the haptic technology and the industries served. "D-BOX produces haptic (motion) effects programmed for visual and musical content, which are sent to a motion system integrated either within a platform, a seat, or various types of equipment. Sounds and action are hand-encoded to link to motion effects. Its technology is used for various industries including movie theaters, sim racing, gaming, home entertainment, commercial training and simulation; and attractions and theme parks. "✅
 * 10) After movie theaters in the products and services section, I'd like to expand the target industries served by the company with independent third party sources showing the different applications. A lot of this is just rewriting what's already there to make it more accurate, so it looks quite long, but please bear with me.

Sim racing
D-BOX's technology is used by a variety of manufacturers to develop simulation technology. D-BOX's haptic system is the only official haptic technology licenced by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), and the company is also the Official Haptic Partner of eNASCAR.



Gaming
D-BOX partners with gaming companies such as Ubisoft to license its technology for video games, including Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The company also partners with haptic gaming chair manufacturers such as Cooler Master.

Home entertainment
D-BOX Technologies first introduced its motion generating systems in 2001 to the home theater, Sim racing, Esports and PC gaming markets. The D-BOX system can be integrated within single seats or full with many seats theaters. For existing seating, motion can be added using a D-BOX Motion Platform.

Commercial simulation and training
D-BOX technology is used for simulation and training by companies including heavy equipment companies Caterpillar and John Deere, and commercial simulation company CM Labs Simulations. The company's motion and haptic equipment is also installed in helicopter flight simulators at the American base of Fort Novosel in Alabama (formerly Fort Rucker), as part of simulators provided by the Australian company Ryan Aerospace, and the American company Precision Flight Controls.

Attractions and theme parks
D-BOX also provides technology to operators of immersive attractions and theme parks. Projects include Spongebob VR, created in partnership with virtual reality attraction manufacturer MajorMega and VR studio Creative Works, MajorMega's HyperDeck VR attraction, and the Asterix-themed ride Attention Menhir! at French theme park Parc Astérix. ✅


 * 11. I'd like to add an operations section at the bottom:

Operations
D-BOX is headquartered in Longueuil, Canada, and has satellite offices in Beijing and Los Angeles. Sébastien Mailhot is the company's President and CEO. The company reportedly has 90 employees. ✅

 * This was a lot to process, but the request has been implemented. You'll have more luck next time if you request fewer items at a time. Emikey-34 (talk) 01:56, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
