Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9956173A2] An "immersive experience" motion picture theatre is provided either as a purpose-built structure or as a "retro-fit" of an existing domed theatre. The theatre of the invention has an audience seating deck (20) which slopes downwardly towards a screen (22) of part-cylindrical shape. The screen slopes upwardly and extends above the seating deck as well as wrapping around the sides of the seating deck. A projector (26) located within the seating deck (20) projects images onto the screen (22) about an upwardly oriented projection axis, through an orthographic fisheye lens which minimizes distortion of centre regions of the images. In this way, motion pictures that have been shot for showing on domed screens can be successfully projected onto the curved screen (22) of the invention.
