One month later, the Museum of Science, Boston opened a new state-of-the-art 4-D Theater experience. Previously a 3-D Theater, the Museum was looking for a new and dynamic experience for their guests. The space was fully reconstructed to prepare for this new, spectacular attraction and open to the public in four short months! SimEx-Iwerks expanded on the standard model of 4-D by incorporating several new special FX designs such as our all-new LED, colored wall lighting system that provides an immersive, peripheral enhancement to the visuals.
