OLD FILMS REACH SENSECAPTIVE
[insert revised image that is not yet revised]
Wellington once again gets the privilege of hosting the premiere of the Lord of the Rings, only this time using Sensecaptive technology. The films are due to be rereleased as one viewing experience, a feat that would usually take over 12 hours to view using traditional film, but using Sensecaptive they can be experienced in under 20 minutes.
Film technology has always progressed towards giving the user a complete experience, from its humble beginnings almost 250 years ago using light to project images onto screens, it progressed to the mainstream adoption of 4D cinema in 2020, and since 2036 has advanced enough to fully incorporate all of the senses with Sensecaptive Experience Technology (SET). A simple download from The Network allows users to experience a feature length film from a first person perspective in the comfort of their own head in less than 5 minutes.
From a user’s perspective the film is experienced as if you are immersed into the environment of the film, but no interaction or interference is possible with the storyline or characters. This is different from Sensecaptive’s main competitor Virtual Reality Films (VRF) which allows manipulation of story – delivering a different experience with each viewing, but lacking the ability to translate traditional films. With Sensecaptive the movies original intent can be upheld, while still delivering a full sensory experience.
But because SET is a completely different media to traditional film it took a few years to develop the technology to convert between the two. On Tuesday pre-2036 films started being rereleased in SET capable cinemas worldwide. The Lord of the Rings is rereleased Thursday at the Embassy cinema in Wellington one week before its worldwide rerelease.
