Multisensory interactivity: Enhancing cinematic experience

With technology constantly advancing, being an audience in cinemas allows one not only to watch and listen – but become part of the show, simultaneously experiencing what the characters are experiencing. As of late, audiences are engaging all five senses at the movies with the cinematic landscape and platform varying through 3-D, 4-D, and even 5-D to refer to more than three-dimensional experience; others call it virtual reality.

Multisensory experience engages the audience through strong, stimulating, and mind-baffling environments via multimedia events. Viewing pleasure is achieved through scenic cinematography enjoyed in high-definition widescreen format – that is, with a bigger and louder audiovisual input. Integrating online digital entertainment revolution, one is set to participate in a superior in-theater experience.

With only a select number of theaters utilizing the revolutionary movie screen innovations, the experience is hardly replicated within home theater systems. But more audience simultaneously enjoying the same experience further heightens the cinematic effect. Being able to physically interact with the movie widens the range of inputs that could be used. This means shows can be customized as to include interactive games, personalized presentations, and other performances requiring on-screen projections.

Latitude 360: Your Place for a Good Laugh This Weekend

You are likely familiar with the old adage that “laughter is good for the soul.” Laughter is good for more than just the soul; it is also good for the body. This is why a night at Latitude 360 – known for its unparalleled comedy club, where you can expect to burn a few calories with every joke – could do you some good in the long run.

Research shows that laughter not only bonds people together and increases their intimacy and happiness levels but also it triggers healthy changes in your body. For instance, humor strengthens the body’s immune system, diminishes your pain, boosts your energy and guards you against the destructive effects of stress. Laughter also relaxes your entire body, protects your heart by increasing blood flow, and triggers endorphins – or feel-good chemicals – to be released in your body.

Going All Out to Eat

During the holidays there is always that one person who is virtually impossible to shop for. Maybe they are continuously switching courses in their hobbies, their rollercoaster tastes constantly change, or maybe they seem to simply have everything and the imagination falls short of what exactly you can offer them. Take this scenario and apply it to a friend hard to entertain. This can get really frustrating. If this is the case, there may be a solution for you.

You could come to this friend and ask them if they like bowling, video gaming, sports, movies, television, playing pool, or having drinks. If all else fails, what about food? Not just normal restaurant food, but really good award-winning food. This should get them in the doors of Latitude 360.
