Entertainment is changing fast Enter the Smell o Vision

As you can see with my previous posts the area of 4D CINEMA is taking off. There are hundreds of different experiences available world wide, some with the addition of smell o vision and some without.

So what does the future hold? Well the reason why most of us visit the cinema is to enjoy the latest movies on a big screen, of coarse sometimes you just want to get out of the house and for others, the back seats are cheaper than a hotel room. But generally i think the former would apply.

So how can we enjoy a more immersing experience like 4D in the home? well all of the technologies are already there. The video below will show some of the biggest advancements in this area.




What I would personally like to see is a stand alone relining seat that can offer me all the benefits outlined above. Now it doesn't have to fly across the room or simulate a horse ride or anything, but the blasts of water, scents and vibrations would be a nice start.

So how much would one of these chairs cost? well nothing really, its just a range of simple technologies: pumps, nozzles and tubes for the scents water and air, a few simple hard waring motors for vibration, hell we could even line the chair with a heated blanket for fun. Total cost? about £100.

Now that's not the problem, its the content. No one will be rushing out to buy one of these chairs until they have something to use them for right? and no one wants to produce a DVD or programme unless people have these chairs right? Well will someone please step up and make a contract deal that says something like "lets launch the chairs and some content together and both get rich"?

Good luck............ I'm your first customer......maybe even your first investor.
