Indoor family entertainment centre, Magic Island, has installed a XRider 3D/4D Motion Theatre at Seef Mall. This four-seater version of the unique 4D (four-dimensional) mini-theatre goes beyond the 3D-visual spectacle that immerses viewers in the action, providing motion simulation effects to enable them to actually get a feel of what they are viewing.

The theatre comes with special effects like wind, bubble and snow blizzard and the audience gets to feel the vibrations of these different effects while watching a scene to become virtual participants in the action.

Viewers have a choice of eight films, for a never-to-be-forgotten experience in the virtual world.

Sami Abi Chahine, operations manager, Magic Island, said: "The virtual world is becoming ever more realistic with hi-tech innovations like motion simulation that make it a wonderful learning experience for children.

"Watching a 3D film on X-Rider provides a spine-tingling experience that actually makes the virtual world appear very real."
