Star Tours II gaat in 4D!!!

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is an upcoming attraction to be installed at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios. Set in the fictional Star Wars universe, "The Adventures Continue" will update the two parks' original Star Tours attractions. Whereas Star Tours took place after the events of Return of the Jedi, the new attraction will be set earlier in the film series' timeline, between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The attractions are currently scheduled to open in May 2011.

4D Film

4-D film (sometimes written 4D film) is a marketing term that describes an entertainment presentation system combining a 3-D film with physical effects in the theatre, which occur in synchronization with the film. Because the physical effects are expensive to set up, 4-D films are usually presented only at special venues such as theme parks and amusement parks. However, in South Korea, some movie theatres also have the ability to present a 4-D film and the film Avatar was one of 10 films that have received the treatment, starting with Journey to the Center of the Earth.^[1] Some of the effects simulated in 4-D films include rain, wind, strobe lights, and vibration. The use of water sprays and air jets is also common. 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.

Avatar gaat in 4D

'Avatar' goes 4D in Korea

Korean firm adds dimension to 3D movies

 

SEOUL -- If the 3D "Avatar" is not enough, how about 4D?  
The 4D screening uses more than 30 effects during the 3D film's 162 minute run, including moving seats, smells of explosives, sprinkling water, laser lights and wind. Despite the much higher $15.80 ticket price (an average ticket costs $6.90), screenings are regularly sold out.
 
"We (started to) prepared the 'Avatar' 4D ride last summer," says Tom Oh, prexy of 20th Century Fox Korea.
 
But 4D isn't new to Koreans. The nation's leading multiplex chain, CJ-CGV, began 4D shows last year in one 88-seat theater, with"Journey to the Center of the Earth."
 
But with the success of "Avatar," CJ-CGV opened three more "4D plexes."
 
Ten films have been shown with 4D effects designed by CJ-CGV's 4D programmer over the last year.
"There is no 4D theater like ours around the world. CGV's 4D plex is the first in the world that fully offers five-sense experiences with a movie title," says Kim Daehee, publicity manager of CJ-CGV.
 
Exhib has more 4D titles on tap, including the upcoming "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief."

Hoping to cash in, animation and VFX shingle Wonderworld Studio has announced that it has launched a unit specializing in the 4D experience. A Korea-U.S. joint venture with the L.A.-based Animation Picture Co., company plans to complete 10 4D ride films this year.

What is 4DTV?

What is 4DTV?

As you may have heard, there's a revolution going on in satellite entertainment. A digital revolution. Many of your favorite channels are converting their broadcast to digital: new digital services are already here, with more on the way in North America!

The 4DTV product will be able to receive analog C & Ku-band programming along with digital DCII programming. The 4DTV will not be able to allow you to watch DVB digital programming; another big dish digital standard.

Introducing the 4DTV satellite receiver from Motorola, (formerly NextLevel Systems, Inc. & formerly General Instrument), the leader in satellite television. 4DTV is a big dish digital satellite receiver (digital side car 905) and a dish mover (920 & 922's), that is capable of receiving analog, analog VCII+ (with the plug in VCII+ decoder), digital DCII & digital DCII HDTV signals (note: To receive the DCII HDTV signals an add-on HDD200 receiver to your 4DTV receiver is required).
Keep on enjoying all the benefits of your big dish:

• The choices
• The picture quality
• The entertainment value
• The freedom

The 4DTV receiver will make you appreciate your big dish even more, thanks to its ability to receive crystal clear digital video signals and advanced user features such as its Interactive Program Guide.

The 4DTV receiver means more choice

When you add the 4DTV receiver to you big dish system, you'll be able to receiver four types of satellite signals:

• "In the clear" (free programming)
• Analog "VideoCipher^® "broadcast (subscription channels)
• The new free digital DigiCipher^® broadcast
• The encrypted digital DigiCipher^® broadcast

Since digital allows more channels on each satellite, you'll have more programs to choose from so you can watch what you want when you want. Enjoy choosing from over 500 channels initially, and just watch the number of new channels continue to grow. More Pay-Per-View channels so you can watch the latest movies virtually on demand-- day or night. Dozens of CD-quality music channels without commercial interruption, new movie channels, sports, news, and so much more.

Make your big dish even better

Compared to cable and mini-dish systems, the 4DTV receiver gives you even more of what you want to watch. More sports. More movies. More music. More special interest and international programming. More adult entertainment. And with the 4DTV receiver, you only pay for the programs you want. Unlike cable and mini-dish systems, being able to choose where you buy your programming means you'll always be able to shop for the best price. Thanks to all the additional free programming, the 4DTV receiver makes your big dish system an even better entertainment value--month after month and year after year.

Regelmatige bezoekers van pretparken zal het verschijnsel bekend voorkomen; de vierde dimensie zijn de bewegende stoelen, rookgordijnen en vallende waterdruppels en meer van dat soort ongein dat het zicht op de film belemmert. Het zal niet meer lang meer duren of je zult voor de complete thuisbioscoopervaring een bijpassende zetel moeten aanschaffen.
