Philips amBX

Shorthand for ‘ambient experiences’, amBX reinvents the gameplay experience by extending the traditional gaming world out of the screen and into the real world. amBX delivers full ‘surround senses’ by allowing developers to use light, colour, sound, rumble and even air flow through enabled devices, including the Philips amBX PC Gaming Peripherals range of LED colour-controlled lighting, rumble peripherals and variable speed desktop fans.

Philips is setting a global standard by licensing the amBX technology to computer game developers, publishers and peripherals manufacturers, including id Software, Codemasters, THQ, Introversion, Ubisoft Gearbox Software, Zombie, Riot Games, Brain in a Jar, Invictus Games, Instinct Technology, Kuju, Revolution, Sumo Digital, Rivers Run Red, Philips Peripherals & Accessories and SpectraVideo.

Games which are amBX compatible include Broken Sword: The Angel of Death, Clive Barker's Jericho, Darwinia, DEFCON, Overlord, QUAKE 4, Supreme Commander and Toca Race Driver 3. Over 100 titles are also backwards compatible through the FXGenerator, generating limited amBX effects. A full list, searchable by genre and publisher, can be found at www.ambx.com.
