About ScreenX
To achieve 2700 movie experience, side walls are lined in a special fabric to match the main screen, while two projectors are used for each wall to display the image. Viewers don’t need to turn their head while watching movies and the side walls are essentially used for extra footage to extend the scene. The central screen still plays the film as usual while additional footage shot with a special ScreenX camera rig to experience surrounding a little more. The 2700 degree experience would not only amplify the emotional aspect but also increase the entertainment factor for the movie.
Inox Leisure is India’s first company to sign the agreement with ScreenX. Till now ScreenX has been installed in 205 screens around the world offering best-in-class movie experience to viewers.
