Innovation Solution
An immersive theater system comprising a theater device with prefabricated walls and a projection room, equipped with projectors, speakers, and lighting units, controlled by a central device to create a 3D audiovisual field, potentially enhanced with special effects, allowing for flexible and immersive experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional theater is used, then movie viewing is provided, but the theater cannot create an immersive environment and provide immersive experiences
Solution Approach 1:
The theater system is divided into modular components: a mobile theater unit containing projection equipment, sound systems, and display screens that can be independently positioned and configured. This segmentation allows the system to create immersive environments without requiring a complete redesign of the entire theater infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces multi-dimensional display surfaces including floor screens, wall screens, and ceiling projections, transforming the traditional two-dimensional movie viewing experience into a three-dimensional immersive environment. This dimensional expansion allows audiences to be surrounded by visual content from multiple angles and surfaces.
2Productivity
If a conventional theater operates with fixed business hours, then standard operating procedures are maintained, but the theater cannot bring in more customer proactively and box office revenue is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The theater system employs dynamic scheduling capabilities that allow movie screenings to be organized at flexible times based on audience demand rather than fixed business hours. The mobile theater unit can be deployed and configured for different screening schedules, enabling proactive customer engagement and maximizing revenue opportunities.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile theater unit is designed as a multi-functional system that can serve multiple purposes: hosting movie screenings, conducting audio-visual education, providing entertainment events, and offering immersive experiences. This universality allows the same equipment to generate revenue through diverse activities without requiring separate facilities.
3Ease of operation
If conventional theater infrastructure is used, then movie viewing is provided, but the entertainment effect is reduced due to lack of immersive experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple audio-visual elements including projectors, speakers, lighting systems, and display screens into an integrated mobile theater unit. This merging of components creates a cohesive immersive experience where sound, light, and visual projections work together seamlessly, enhancing the entertainment effect and providing authentic immersive experiences.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The system provides a complete and real sense of immersion for audience members, enhancing the viewing experience and increasing box office revenue through flexible scheduling and immersive environments.
Implementation Method 1
The projectors are directed at different angles whereby the projectors face the floor base and each prefabricated wall to project images to be shown onto the first display screen and the second display screen
Implementation Method 2
synchronously the sound information is transmitted to and played by the speakers under the control of the control console
Implementation Method 3
The lighting units are adapted to execute light changes in the projection room

AI summary
An immersive theater system includes a theater device having a projection room and a displaying screen unit, a multimedia audiovisual assemblage disposed in the projection room, and a central control device connected to the multimedia audiovisual assemblage. The multimedia audiovisual assemblage includes lighting units, speakers and projectors. The projectors are installed at different angles to face different display screens of the displaying screen unit. The central control device includes an audiovisual source coupled to the projectors and the speakers, and the audiovisual source is firstly divided and then displayed on the display screens to create an immersive environment whereby audience members in the projection room feel them to be immersed in lifelike surroundings caused by activating the multimedia audiovisual assemblage under the control of the central control device. The immersive theater system can be disposed in a mobile carrier to increase the mobility and the frequency of use.
