SENSIO and Tweeter Home Entertainment Group will join forces to bring the ultimate 3-D home theatre experience to Tweeter Entertainment Architects customers in Las Vegas.
“Tweeter is the perfect partner for us,” says Richard LaBerge, SENSIO’s Vice-President, Sales and Marketing. “Its clientele appreciates high-end cutting edge technology and their staff truly understands SENSIO 3-D. Consumers will have an unparalleled opportunity to live the theme park 3-D experience at home!”
Beginning in January, the Tweeter Entertainment Architect concept store in Las Vegas will offer the SENSIO 3-D experience. “We are constantly on the lookout for new technology to entertain our cutting edge customer base,” says Philo Pappas, Sr. VP Merchandising for Tweeter. “A couple of years ago, you could only see quality 3-D movies in multimillion-dollar theatres. Being able to provide a 3-D solution to our customers provides them with a more complete and entertaining experience.”
Since 2003, SENSIO’s dealer base has grown to over 180 outlets in more than 30 countries. Tweeter’s new Las Vegas concept store represents a revolution of retail entertainment, and also adds one more customer touch point to SENSIO’s growing network.
“Opening up retail chains is part of SENSIO’S strategy to rapidly expand the number of outlets bringing high quality 3D experiences to the market.” Says SENSIO’s President, Nicholas Routhier “As people get exposed to the SENSIO 3D experience, the old 3D image of red and blue glasses will become something of the past. Our association with Tweeter is the first step in accelerating the pace of consumer’s awareness and exposure to our technology.”
Winner of the CES 2003 Product Innovation Award and a “Best in Show” finalist at the 2004 ElectronicaUSA show in San Francisco, the SENSIO 3D stereoscopic video processor is a giant leap forward in home theatre viewing. Gone are the awkward red and blue cardboard goggles and the fuzzy images. SENSIO 3D produces brilliant digital images that burst into life with the help of small, wireless LCD glasses that are synchronized with the film, feeding separate images to the left and right eyes so quickly the brain is fooled into seeing a single spectacular full-resolution three-dimensional scene.
