Definitions

  • This invention relates to a theater system and relates particularly to an immersive theater system.
  • a conventional theater is usually an independent building located in the downtown, or is kept in a large shopping mall to thereby provide a large indoor space, create a great film effect, and meet requirements for entertainment.
  • business hours of the theater are restricted to be standard. Movies in the theater are also unchangeable.
  • the conventional theater may not meet everyone's need. People will go to the theater only when the movie in which they are interested comes out, and that limits the box office revenue generated from movie ticket sales. The theater cannot bring in more customer proactively.
  • the conventional theater is unable to create an immersive environment and provide immersive experiences.
  • the theater cannot present the movies by gaining a complete and real sense or by allowing the audience members to feel them to be immersed in lifelike surroundings while the audience members are seeing the movies .

  • the video player 331 is adapted to present an audiovisual source which contains a sound information and an image information.
  • the control console 333 can control the video player 331 to divide the image information into a plurality of image layers. After the image layers are transmitted to the projectors 321 under the control of the control console 333, the image layers are projected through different projectors 321 respectively and integrated into the images to be shown.
  • the images to be shown are then projected onto the first display screen 316A and the second display screen 316B.
  • the sound information is transmitted to and played by the speakers 322 under the control of the control console 333.
  • the light controller 332 has a plurality of light-displaying modes.
  • the lighting units 323 are actuated by the light controller 332 under the control of the control console 333 to execute the light changes according to the light-displaying modes.

Operations of checking tickets or counting the number of the entered audience members can be executed at the entrance 315. After the audience members enter into the projection room 314 and stand on the positioning marks respectively, the entrance 315 is close by closing the door 317 to thereby break the communication of the projection room 314 and the outside space. After that, the light controller 332 is adapted to turn off the lighting units 323 under the control of the control console 333 to thereby make the projection room 314 become dim. Meanwhile, emergency lights (not shown) can be kept for guiding directions in case an emergency happens. The control console 333 then controls the video player 331 to divide the image information of the selected audiovisual source into different image layers.
  • the sound information of the audiovisual source can be also divided into different sound layers according to needs.
  • the image layers are transmitted to the projectors 321 and the sound information is transmitted to the speakers 322 under the control of the control console 333.

  • the images to be are then projected onto the first display screen 316A and the second display screen 316B by the three-dimensional (3D) effect.
  • the sound information is played by the speakers 322 and the lighting units 323 execute the light changes according to the light-displaying modes synchronously under the control of the control console 333.
  • the immersive environment is created by the surrounding audiovisual field in the projection room 314 while the projectors 321, the speakers 322, and the lighting units 323 are activated together to thereby allow the audience members to be immersed in the immersive environment and present the audiovisual source excellently.
  • the audience members are surrounded by the images to be shown in the projection room 314 to thereby provide a 360 degrees video panorama and increase an immersed sense. Therefore, the simultaneous operation of the projectors 321, the speakers 322, and the lighting units 323 can create the immersive environment and provide a complete and real sense of the audiovisual source. Because the immersive theater system 3 can be fabricated anywhere, people in remote areas can also enjoy the immersed sense of the immersive environment through the immersive theater system 3.
  • FIGs. 3 and 4 show a second preferred embodiment of the immersive theater system 3 of this invention.
  • the correlated elements and the concatenation of elements, the operation and objectives of the second preferred embodiment are the same as those of the first preferred embodiment.

  • the special effects generator 324 is actuated by the control console 333 to generate special effects such as wind, smell, or mist in the projection room 314 in cooperation with the audiovisual source to thereby enhance the real sense of the audiovisual source.
  • the special effects generated by the special effects generator 324 allows the audiovisual source to be presented by a four dimensional (4D) effect to thereby enhance the immersed sense, increase the richness of the audiovisual source, improve an entrainment effect, and attract the audience members effectively.
  • FIG. 5 shows a third preferred embodiment of the immersive theater system 3 of this invention.
  • the correlated elements and the concatenation of elements, the operation and objectives of the third preferred embodiment are the same as those of the first preferred embodiment.
  • This embodiment is characterized in that the theater device 31, the multimedia audiovisual assemblage 32, and the central control device 33 are disposed in a mobile carrier 4. After the mobile carrier 4 stops at a proper location, the fabrication of the immersive theater system 3 can be executed to thereby facilitate a mobile movement of the immersive theater system 3, attract more audience members, recoup the cost for purchasing the audiovisual source, and save the operating cost.
  • the immersive theater system of this invention takes advantages that the projection room can be built quickly to accommodate a plurality of audience members.
  • the projectors, the speakers, and the lighting units that surround the projection room are activated simultaneously to present an audiovisual source after the audiovisual source is processed to thereby create an immersive environment whereby the audience members in the projection room feel them to be immersed in lifelike surroundings, provide a complete and real sense of the audiovisual source, and increase the immersed sense.
