New technology 4DX in cinema that smell and feel the films

If you thought that the third dimension (3D) and digital projections were the ultimate in technology that could provide a movie theater, you're wrong. Since a few weeks ago, the Peru is the second country in South America - after Brazil - where films can be enjoyed in a different way thanks to the opening of a movie 4DX theater.

With this technology, the viewer not only can see in three dimensions what happens in the movie, they can feel what is happening thanks to the effects of wind and movement, as well as by smells and to splash water.

"The room features two high-definition digital projectors, whereupon the 3D looks fantastic. Also has 240 seats moving from top to bottom, from left to right and front to back. Then, they can collect a lot of scents. Also in the room are simulated the effects of lightning, wind, smoke and even splash", explained trade Carlos days Squire, country manager for Peru and Chile of Cinepolis, the company that has brought this entertainment alternative to Lima.

SYNCHRONIZED EXERCISE
The 4DX technology is not new. Used since the middle of the Decade of the eighties in films used in amusement parks of amusements, mainly in the United States. The main difference is that, instead of enjoy walks ranging from three to five minutes, there is now the possibility of extending the fun for an hour and half (on average).

Timing is key to this technology. The infrastructure of the room must be finely synchronised with the moments in which the Viewer "should" feel something.

Thus, you can feel cold in the room and the smell of freshly cut grass if the action takes place in an open field at dawn; or you can feel the wind in your face, if the protagonist of the film is in the middle of a Chase. And get ready for an action scene: seat moves side to side, according to the direction of shock; and if the protagonist falls from on high, you will feel a few blows on the back. That Yes, don't be surprised if a foreground head cut the bad Witch and feel how the Jet of blood you direct splashes in the face.

But all this fun has a high cost, compared to a regular ticket: each ticket S/37, 50. However, it can be considered an alternative to spend a very different time.
