Vibrating Seats and Tactile Cinema - Text 4
As for the seats 4DX and MX4D, they are very similar. The 4DX began to be marketed in 2009 by the Korean company CJ 4Dplex, while the MX4D system was developed in the United States by MediaMation. In each case, the seat can move in multiple ways, by turning or swaying in order to shake up and stimulate the viewer, making them vibrate and giving them a start. In addition to the movements of the seat, the system offers various possibilities, all of them taking place in the movie theatre: stereoscopic viewing, atmospheric effects (such as blasts of air, wind, heat, snow, rain, lightning or fog), bubbles, smoke, odours and lighting effects, in particular stroboscopic. In addition, the MX4D system offers stimulation of the legs. Apart from the movie-theatre circuit, several amusement parks and theme parks, in addition to their rides, offer specialized cinemas in which these kinds of dynamic seats can be found.
