ULTIMATE GAMING ENVIRONMENT FEATURED AT E3 EXPO IN MYTHIC ENTERTAINMENT BOOTH

May 21, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
(LOS ANGELES, May 2005) - Personal Computing Environments today unveiled the “Total Immersion PCE,” its second-generation ergonomic computing environment, at Mythic Entertainment’s E3 booth, in Concourse Hall booth #5001C. The environments turn the idea of a gaming or computer station inside out, making players the comfortable centerpiece of a personalized command center, with high performance computing, gaming and entertainment technology at their fingertips.

PCE is showcasing eight new Total Immersion PCEs with strategic partner Mythic, which is using the new gaming delivery system to demonstrate its powerful new MMORPG title, Imperator.

“The PCE environments are the perfect high-tech way for us to present the sci-fi world that we have created with Imperator,” says Eugene Evans, vice president of Marketing and Business Development for Mythic Entertainment. “As we introduce players into the world of Imperator, PCE immerses them into a total computing environment. I want one!”

“Our Total Immersion PCE pops you into the center of the game with surround sound, multiple monitors and gaming platforms, and a killer Freedom Chair that conforms to your movements,” says Allan Quattrin, president and CEO of Personal Computing Environments, Inc. “They bring a whole new dimension of reality and enjoyment to gaming.”

PCEs are fully adjustable from footrest to monitors, and ultra comfortable for extended playing, notes Quattrin. “And they’re not limited to gaming: one person’s ultimate gaming environment is another’s ergonomic workstation or personal home theater.”

A striking C-styled frame design extends one or more LCD monitors directly overhead and in front of the user, and a 5.1 digital THD sound package can be added to surround players in multimedia nirvana. The modular design and C-Channel make it easy to integrate new platforms, PCs and entertainment devices.
