Mugar Omni Theater

The seats are set at a steep (cliff-side) angle and recline about thirty degrees, the screen is five stories tall, and the theater is filled with an impressive surround sound system.

Because the screen fills a viewer's field of vision (including periphery vision) the screen and surround sound system give viewers the feeling of immersion and motion giving visitors a unique life like experience when viewing films.

Viewers must turn their heads left to right up and down to capture all that is going on.

[4] The theater shows films of educational and scientific interest such as: Bears, Beavers, Amazing Caves, Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure as well as select IMAX feature film releases in 1.43:1 aspect ratio.

The average 70mm Omnimax film reel is around 3 miles long, weighs 200 pounds, and needs to be configured manually.
