The Sensorium

The Sensorium is regarded the world's first commercial 4D film and was first screened in a Six Flags theme park in Baltimore in 1984.[1] It was produced in partnership with Landmark Entertainment.[2]

Description

The 4D film included multiple track discrete sound system, bodysonic seats and Scent-a-Vision (a series of smells released in sync with the film). The story told a series of American pastimes around the turn of the twentieth century and was narrated by the inventor Phineas Flagg - an imaginary turn-of-the-century explorer/scientist/raconteur (modeled after Jules Verne's literary world traveler character in the novel "Around The World in Eighty Days"). The film used the ArriVision over/under 3D film system. The film was only showing at Six Flags Power Plant theme park.[2]

gollark: I don't know exactly how proof of stake works, but basically just... new currency units are randomly allocated to nodes which "stake" some existing currency units or something (they're not consumed).
gollark: Some currencies do proof of stake instead.
gollark: Something like that?
