4D venue complete with motion-enhanced seating and multisensory olfactory technology

4D film is a presentation system combining motion pictures with synchronized physical effects that occur in the theater. Effects simulated in 4D films include, but are not limited to, motion, vibration, scent, rain, mist, bubbles, fog, smoke, wind, temperature changes, and strobe lights.[1][2] Seats in 4D venues vibrate and move during these multisensory presentations.

As of 2022, 4D films are exhibited in more than 65 countries globally.[3] 4D motion pictures are also exhibited in theme parks.[4]

History

[

edit

]

The term "4D film" is an extension of 3D film, which gives the illusion of three-dimensional solidity.[5] Precursors of the modern 4D film presentation include Sensurround, which debuted in 1974 with the film Earthquake. Only a few films were presented in Sensurround, and it was supplanted by Dolby Stereo in 1977, which featured extended low frequencies and made subwoofers a common addition to cinema.[6] Other notable efforts at pushing the boundaries of the film viewing experience include Fantasound, the first use of stereo sound; Cinemiracle and Cinerama, both widescreen formats utilizing multiple projectors; and Smell-O-Vision.

The Sensorium is regarded as the world's first commercial 4D film and was first screened in 1984 at Six Flags Power Plant in Baltimore. It was produced in partnership with Landmark Entertainment.[7]

4DX, D-Box Technologies, and Mediamation all currently integrate 4D technology in global stadium seating multiplexes.[8]

System composition

Environmental effects:
Environmental special effects are mainly made to match the movie screen. For example, when watching a 5D movie, if there is a raining scene in the movie, the special effects we made can make the audience feel that there is rain on the body, and the movie is blown up. When the wind is blowing, the audience feels that there is wind blowing, the fog is formed in the movie, and the audience also feels that the fog is permeating around…The equipment of the environmental special effects system mainly includes bubble machines, water jets, hair dryers, snow machines, and smoke. They can create a variety of feelings such as rain, wind, snow, smoke, and lightning.
Seat special effects:
The seat special effects system allows the audience to feel the effects of bumps, tremors, and flying up and down. When the audience is watching adventure films and horror films, the seat special effects are especially obvious. For example, the audience is watching a movie of a roller coaster. The seats can make the audience feel ups and downs, flying up and down, walking through the mountains and ridges in the virtual world of the movie, and experiencing the excitement of speeding through the lofty mountains indoors.
Audio and video effects:
The two-dimensional audio-visual special effects system includes metal screens, projectors, racks (with polarized lenses, films), playback servers, control cabinets, screens, bass speakers, main speakers, surround speakers, power amplifiers and other equipment.
The software system includes movie special effects action editor, movie player, synchronization control system, action special effect system and environmental special effect system. The equipment mainly includes high-configuration computers, monitors, cabinets, etc.
