To promote the Vancouver Aquarium‘s newest attraction, The 4D Experience, Taxi Vancouver was charged with developing a campaign that gets the point across that the new theatre literally has films you can feel. Audience members are not only immersed in a digital 3D viewing experience, but are also subjected to extra sensory effects like wind, mist, scents, bubbles and dramatic lighting. It’s Western Canada’s first and only 4D theatre. It might not be a holodeck, but we’ll take it. But we’d still like a holodeck.
