Challenges/Solutions
ETI worked with the management team to design a cutting edge

3D/4D digital theater. The goal was to create an image that seems to surround the viewer while  immersing the viewer in the film through 4D effects.

The 4D effects chosen to expand the experience was mist, scent, fog, wind, strobe lights and base shakers. In addition theseeffects were added to the two commercials that precede the films. 

Equipment chosen included:Panasonic 12,000 lumen projectors (PT-DZ12000U),  JBL surround sound, and a 38' wide by 21.6"High Harkness screen.
