4D theater
Sensory movie experience
A 4D theater is a movie theater that adds physical sensations to the viewing experience—motion seats, wind, water spray, scents, or vibrations synchronized with the action on screen.
The format is most common at theme parks and specialty attractions: The 4D theater made you feel like you were actually on the roller coaster.
The "fourth dimension" refers not to time but to these tactile effects layered onto 3D visuals.
