4-D film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 4-D film (or 4D) is an entertainment presentation system that combines a 3-D film with physical effects that occur in synchronization with the film. Since the physical effects are expensive to setup, 4-D films are currently only found at special venues, usually in amusement parks.
Some of the effects currently simulated in 4-D films include rain, wind, and vibration. The use of water sprays and air jets are common also. A 4-D film is not shown in a motion simulator, although some seats in 4-D venues vibrate or may move a few inches during the presentation.
