The Ultimate Driving Experience
SimBin brings sensation of speed to RaceRoom with
extra-wide screen resolution of Matrox TripleHead2Go.
"The result is simply stunning", says Marcus Bodin, CEO of SimBin
Distribution AB. "The TripleHead2Go setup gives you a lifelike view of
the cockpit, and the extra screen space really makes you feel more speed when
you’re playing. The sensation is amazing and customers love it".
The Company
Famous in the gaming industry for critically acclaimed motor sports games such
as GTR, GTR 2, GT Legends, RACE, and their latest title RACE 07 – The WTCC
Game, SimBin is taking the racing game experience to the next level with their
RaceRoom concept. Developed by SimBin Distribution AB, a subsidiary of SimBin
Studios AB, RaceRoom is a franchise turnkey solution for simulator centers and
event venues that wish to add new games to their existing business. To help
their customers draw crowds, SimBin is committed to supplying established
RaceRooms with new and exciting game titles on a yearly basis, ensuring
companies investing in the solution won’t resemble the old arcade halls
where the machines are collecting dust after a year or two as the software
grows old. |

The Challenge
In
their commitment to continuously improve their RaceRoom offering, SimBin was
looking for an innovative enhancement. They specifically wanted to add the
feeling of speed in their games. With customers always demanding the latest and
greatest high tech products, they needed to avoid anything that would create
the "been there, done that" response, and instead develop something that would
exceed players’ expectations. |
The Solution
They found what they were looking for at the Dustin Expo 2007, where
Matrox was actually using one of their games (the GTR2) to demonstrate the
TripleHead2Go
Graphics eXpansion Module.
When the SimBin team witnessed the
enthrallment generated by the TripleHead2Go setup, they knew that this
is what the RaceRooms needed. They had been looking at bigger displays and
widescreen options, but found that details were much clearer at a 3840 x 1024
resolution. They also liked how the TripleHead2Go configuration
offered more realism—the view of the cockpit from the car was more
authentic, with the mirrors on the outside monitors and the center monitor free
to focus entirely on the track.

The Result
SimBin
incorporated 12 TripleHead2Go Digital Edition units in the CarGel RaceRoom in
Stockholm, which opened to the public in December 2007. The reaction was
awesome, and SimBin expects to sell a lot more TripleHead2Go setups.
The wow factor hasn’t been limited to regular players; real race drivers
have reported the TripleHead2Go RaceRoom setup to be the closest
experience to the real thing they’ve ever tested.
With visitors
so impressed, it’s no wonder the SimBin RaceRoom with Matrox
TripleHead2Go has already become the leading sim racing activity in
Sweden.
