Science studio
The Science and Technology Studio of Shanghai Science and
Technology Museum has four distinctive theaters: IMAX stereo screen
theater, IWERKS 4D cinema, IMAX dome theater, and space digital
cinema. These four distinctive theaters are located in the exhibition
area of the Science and Technology Museum and form the largest
science studio in Asia.
There are more than 800 seats in the studio. The giant screen theater
and the ball screen theater are located on the basement level, the 4D
cinema is located on the ground floor, and the space theater is located
on the third floor.

17. Giant screen theater
IMAX’s three-dimensional giant screen theater is the first three-
dimensional giant screen theater in mainland China.
The three-dimensional giant screen cinema is huge, 18.3 meters high
and 24.3 meters wide (equivalent to the height of a 6-storey
building), which can accommodate 441 people. The three-dimensional
giant screen projector uses a 70mm 15-perforated IMAX dual-
projection system that uses a 70mm 15-perforated film frame that is
10 times that of a normal 35mm film.
When the stereoscopic movie was shown, the huge 6-story screen
made the audience feel strong and shocked, and there was a
6+1-channel sound system in the theater, which simultaneously
broadcasted soundtracks and special sounds through dozens of
speakers.

18. Ball screen theater
The IMAX dome theater is a novel film and television venue that
combines education and entertainment with the dual functions of a
ball screen movie and a heavenly demonstration. With a screen
diameter of 23 meters and a slope of 30 degrees, the slanted screen
allows the audience to feel floating in the air. Can accommodate 280
people. The dome cinema projection equipment uses a 70 mm 15
perforated IMAX stand-alone projection system. During the screening,
the projector was lifted from the lift to the central projection window
of the theater. The image was screened through a 165-degree fisheye
lens onto a tilted spherical screen. The picture was clear and stable,
covering more than 85% of the screen.
The ball-screen cinema sky-like program demonstration uses the
digital planetarium system. “Sit in the room, Maxthon space” is a
concrete portrayal of the astronomical demonstration. The starry sky
is realistic and accurate, and it can simulate the starry sky and starry
motion seen on Earth, anywhere in the solar system, and at any time.
Many rare astronomical phenomena, such as eclipses, eclipses,
comets, meteor showers, etc., can be reproduced and predicted in
dome theaters. Planetarium can also demonstrate planetary motion,
astronomical coordinates, constellation graphics, bright stars,
nebulae, clusters, galaxies, and the Milky Way, as required by the
teachings. In addition, the planetarium works with the auxiliary
projectors to demonstrate the cosmic views of other planets outside
the Earth that only astronauts can see.

19. 4D Cinema
The 4D Cinema is a Disney concept theater that accommodates 56
viewers and is a combination of 3D stereoscopic film and 1D
environmental effects. During the screening, the environment in the
theater, such as watering, water spray, air blow, smoke and seat
sinking, changed with the story of the movie, which made the
audience feel the rain, sea water splashing, falling into traps, sea crab
bites and so on. It completely integrates the audience with the film.
Space theater
Space Theater is the first multimedia dome theater in China that
combines video stitching, image processing, audience interaction, and
computer integration. The Digistar3 system has six video projectors
with a lighting power of 4,800 watts. Under the control of the
computer, they transmit 6 images in a spherical screen with a
diameter of 13 meters to form a complete global image.

20. The entire theater has 69 seats, and the seat has a slope of 23
degrees. The audience is almost lying down to watch movies. The
most surprising thing is that there is a control button on the armrest
of each seat. The audience can press this button to control the
