Digital outfit of the week: Vortx - with airflow to immersive gaming

The small, speaker-like cuboid doesn't look particularly impressive from the outside. If you figure out the technology behind it, there is "only" a kind of fan with a heating function hidden in it - a smart hair dryer for gamers, if you want to put it that way. The special only comes with the software.

The image on the monitor is divided into squares by the software. These are then analyzed. Depending on which colors and effects are detected in these boxes, the Vortx will blow air at the player. Noises are also included. If there is a lot of orange or red on the screen, the airflow is warm, for example. On the other hand, if the player sprints with an impressive "swoosh", cold air comes out of the Vortx.

The whole thing doesn't just work with games. Anything in the image can be used by Vortx. Whether it's a game, a music video, or a movie, it doesn't matter.

If you want to know how the whole thing works in detail, you can take a look at the video from the developers. However, this is in English and was created during the promotion phase. The technology behind it was optimized a little until the final product.
