Full immersion In director (by the way, our compatriot) Vladislav

Next we will see the 4DX format. Cinema halls equipped for it have already opened in a number of Russian cities. They allow you to really immerse yourself in what is happening on the screen. The effect is achieved with the help of moving chairs, as well as sharp air currents, smells, vibrations, splashes and much more.

Starevich shot the film "Beautiful Lucanida", where the main characters were insects. With the help of the then revolutionary stop-motion shooting, the puppet characters had secular conversations, danced and even drank tea.



For the audience, the film was a revelation: what was happening on the screen was taken at face value. But where has it been seen that insects were trained and behaved so similarly to people?! food and beverage email list However, it is very difficult to bring a modern person into such delight. Even realistic aliens or outer space do not cause strong emotions in viewers. Cinema has come a long way from editing and naive makeup to a digital masterpiece, like James Cameron's Avatar. But what will happen next?

People want to not just watch a story on the screen, but to be direct participants in the events. In IMAX with 3D glasses, viewers feel like they are “inside” the film. “3D” cinema creates the illusion of reality. However, full immersion should involve not only hearing and vision. And here modern cinemas have something to strive for. Similar technology was implemented in attractions like 5D, and now also 7D. Viewing an image accompanied by gusts of wind, splashes of water or movement of chairs makes you truly immerse yourself in the action.

By the way, theaters are not inferior to their colleagues from the cinema. This spring, the Moscow Drama Theater named after M.N. Ermolova created virtual reality on the stage while working on the play "The Picture of Dorian Gray". During the production, video installations, wireless sensory game controllers and much more were used. The new artistic director of the theater Oleg Menshikov believes that technology is the future, and it is they who will bring young viewers back to the theater.

However, to great regret, bold experiments in films (as well as in theaters) are not staged very often. In the modern world, traditional cinema prevails. And sometimes it is difficult to determine what exactly is the reason for following old dogmas: the weak technical literacy of modern filmmakers or the fear of being commercially unsuccessful? Ukrainian producer and screenwriter Alexander Astremsky, for example, told me that he is a “supporter of the classic format” and does not understand computer games at all.

Add volume
We, the viewers, will have more surprises in the near future. For example, some experts believe that after 3D, the next step will be plenoptic cinema. At the same time, the technology itself is not so new - it is about a hundred years old. Its uniqueness lies in the following: when light rays pass through the grid of the plenoptic camera, the image does not become flat, but retains information about the distance to the objects filmed.
Today, the technology is used, for example, in Nintendo 3DS game consoles and allows you to see three-dimensional objects without using glasses.

No less interesting are the developments of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Their specialists managed to develop an optical phased antenna array, thanks to which the technology of creating holographic televisions will become available.
Cinema has long entered a new phase of its development - film broadcasting is also turning into a kind of technical art. In the end, we live in the age of high technology, and, therefore, entertainment should be up to par.
