Beijing Movie Theatre Adds VR Room

Er Dong Pictures has added a 200-metre-long, futuristic-looking VR movie theatre to the ZYED cinema in Beijing, with 20 specially-designed chairs incorporating VR headsets and sensory feedback technology, allowing the seats to spin and vibrate, amongst other things, in relation to what’s being shown on the head-mounted displays.

Six VR films are currently being shown — four which were made in China and two overseas imports — with prices ranging from CNY 38 ($6) and CNY 78 ($12).
