Info Cloud
They’ve been around almost 100 years now. So hopefully, we’re all familiar with 3-D movies, right?

Right. And what are the three dimensions again? Width, height and depth.

OK. Now are you ready for the next dimension in entertainment? 4-D!

4-D isn't actually a fourth dimension in the geometric sense.

Rather, it refers to entertainment that combines artistic talent with the latest technology for the purpose of heightening our senses and maximizing our fun.

Right. For example, let’s say you’re watching a movie about elephants. As the hefty animals begin walking past you on the big screen, you start to feel the floor vibrating underneath your feet.

Then as you watch the elephants spraying water from their trunks, you realize you, too, are being sprayed with water right there in the theater.

You might even be able to… smell the elephants, too.

Not sure if I like that. Keep your eyes open and you might also see movie advertisements claiming 5-D, 6-D and even 7-D technology. But they’re all basically the same thing – cutting edge, interactive entertainment.

Besides theaters, you’ll find 4-D entertainment in theme parks, museums, visitor centers, zoos, aquariums and casinos, too.
