4D Movies Shower Rain and Snow in Theatres on Audience

4D
Movies were just an escape route to the bad weather outside. Those were the days when you tightly tucked yourself in your blanket to avoid any hassles. Though the rain season may seem to come and go now and then. There are also chances that you may escape the snow.  Those were the good old days in 2014. With 2015 making huge changes in the technological aspect, so has it made its changes in movies. Yes it will now rain and snow on you even when you are at the movies. Hysteria it is! The 4D cinemas landed only around last year, it augments the big standard screens of theatres with sounds and even smells. Smell of flowers and gun powder , wind and even fake lightning.
The Mass  hysteria! CJ 4DPlex, the company that is behind the 4D theatres around the world has made its attempt to bring in something new.  The company has revealed the latest additions to the collection of tricks to include rain effects, snow effects and also blasts of warm air in the whole watching a film experience.

What is 4D?

4D refers to four-dimensional space.  Four dimensional space is the geometric space with four dimensions. The four dimensional Euclidean space generalises the three-dimensional  Euclidean space. The space is generated by algebraically applying the rules of vectors. Particularly a vector with four elements is used to represent a position in four-dimensional space.

4D Film

The 4D film  is an entertainment based presentation system. It combines a 3D film with physical effects that are made to occur in the theatre. These physical effects occur in synchronisation with the film. Physical effects are generally expensive to install.  4D films are actually different from the actual four dimensional space.  Also there is no standard for describing the standard as 4D. Such 4D films are also occasionally marketed as 5D, 6D, 7D,8D, 9D, 11D and  15D also. This emphasizes the uniqueness of the particular theatre effects.

The 4D Experience

The 4D experience can be felt at the theatres in theme parks.  This has been available for over a decade or more.  This 4D experience is all about a theatre full of people watching a clip in 3D. As the clip plays they fell like they are splashed with water, blasted out in the air  and generally made to handle small shocks and surprises.  These fun experiences have now made way into theatres. Theatres around the world are waiting to creep into such fun experiences.  They have not yet truly made a launch into the theatres as yet. CJ 4DPlex’s theatres are featuring motion, water, fog, wind, air, lightning, bubbles, ticklers, scents and vibration. Now the snow, rain and warm air are the next logical step. These kind of simulations heighten the theatrical experience  and provide better on-screen action to watchers.

What is expected of 4D?

Variety has claimed that the company has planned to unveil the new effects at this commencing year’s CinemaCon.  The weather simulations will be shared with the public for the very first time here. This is where the theatre owners from around the world gather. They check out the greatest, latest and eyebrow raising new technologies in the film industry. This is like an exhibition showcasing the best and latest in the film production field.  Now that the movies like Mad Max:Fury Road and San Andreas are in the releases, the theatre owners are on the look out to upgrade to the new 4DX experience.  Also some of the movies like Avengers: Age of Ultron and Furious 7 broke records with its dimensional effects.

Here is the big question on 4D?

Question
Do the theatre goers really need this sort of an experience. Do they all enjoy the mild shocks? Do they all want to come out of a movie theatre drenched in water?  Do they want air blast at them while they are enjoying the movie with pop-corn? This sort of thrills may seem ok to some in the theme parks and amusement parks. This kind of attraction at parks last less than twenty minutes.  But when you speak of the theatre, with people of all ages wanting to enjoy will this be a hit is the big question that theatre owners have to ask themselves.
There has been the DBOX popularity that also proves that there is a certain crowd looking or some gala experience. These audience don’t mind adding some extra spice to their movie watching experience. After all this is the only stress buster that people in cities enjoy. But are these fun loving people ready to enjoy being drenched in foam  that looks like snow!
