It was produced in partnership with Landmark Entertainment. The Sensorium is regarded as the world's first commercial 4D film and was first screened in 1984 at Six Flags Power Plant in Baltimore. Other notable efforts at pushing the boundaries of the film viewing experience include Fantasound, the first use of stereo sound Cinemiracle and Cinerama, both widescreen formats utilizing multiple projectors and Smell-O-Vision.

Only a few films were presented in Sensurround, and it was supplanted by Dolby Stereo in 1977, which featured extended low frequencies and made subwoofers a common addition to cinema. The precursors of the modern 4D film presentation include Sensurround, which debuted in 1974 with the film Earthquake. 4D motion pictures are also exhibited in theme parks. Seats in 4D venues vibrate and move during these multisensory presentations.Īs of 2022, 4D films are exhibited in more than 65 countries globally. Effects simulated in 4D films include, but are not limited to, motion, vibration, scent, rain, mist, bubbles, fog, smoke, wind, temperature changes, and strobe lights. 3D film with physical effects that occur in the theater 4D venue complete with motion-enhanced seating and multisensory olfactory technologyĤD film is a presentation system combining motion pictures with synchronized physical effects that occur in the theater.
