4DX is a state-of-the-art film technology developed by CJ 4DPLEX that delivers an immersive multi-sensory cinematic experience. It is a 4D film presentation system that allows films to be augmented with various practical effects, including motion-seats, wind, strobe-lights, simulated-snow, and scents. The technology was first introduced in 2009 at the CGV Sangam theater in Seoul, South Korea, and has since expanded to more theaters worldwide.
The key features of 4DX include motion seats and atmospherics. The motion seats include two main types of movements, roll and pitch, which move the viewer front to back and side to side, respectively. The atmospherics include a variety of environmental effects such as wind, fog, mist/rain, scents, and more that perfectly sync to the on-screen action.
4DX provides the largest number of multisensory effects among 4D cinema brands, with 21 different kinds of signature effects. The technology draws the viewer into the movie as if they are living inside its world, creating a fully immersive experience.
Overall, 4DX is a cutting-edge technology that enhances the movie-watching experience by providing a multi-sensory experience that engages the viewer in a way that traditional cinema cannot.
