Disney is taking the 3D experience a step further by adding special live theatre effects. Disney enhances the theatre experience by mixing 3D projection with lasers, fog, streamers and special lighting effects. They call it 4D and have already rolled it out on two of the Disney Cruise Line ships (Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder). Initial plans only involve the showing of one 4D experience per trip, so one would assume when (if) 4D makes it to mainland cinema, movie tickets will be even more expensive (but I’m willing to pay). 3D on cruise ships could also cut costs, I can imagine 3D versions of big music stars performing on virtual stages. Disney Cruise Line’s Jim Urri, the Vice President of entertainment, said workers spent nearly nine months conceptualizing and installing the technology on the company’s two ocean liners. Expect it to take a little while before you see this at your local cinema. If you not the cruising type, I guess you could always go to Disney World? -Check out disneycruise.com for details
