4D cinema

Sensory movie experience

A 4D cinema is a movie theater that adds physical sensations to the 3D visual experience—seats that move, vibrate, or tilt synchronized with the action, plus environmental effects like wind, water spray, scents, and strobe lighting.

The format appears mostly at theme parks and specialty venues: The 4D cinema ride simulated a roller coaster through a volcano.
