Disclosed herein are a sway-yaw motion device and a chair assembly with the same, which can provide an audience with various motion effects by moving a motion chair by various degrees of freedom. The sway-yaw motion device and the chair assembly can additionally provide various motions on the plane by adding a swaying motion, which is a linear motion on the plane, and a yawing motion, which is a rotary motion on the plane, to a pitching motion, a rolling motion and a heaving motion, which are provided generally. Particularly, the present invention relates to a sway-yaw motion device and a chair assembly with the same, which can provide swaying and yawing effects at the same time according to actuation of a driving part, for instance, according to an angle control of a crank arm, as well as provide the swaying motion and the yawing motion individually.

The present invention relates to a motion chair included in a 4D theater and a motion chair control system for controlling a plurality of the motion chairs. More specifically, the present invention relates to a motion chair, including a control unit configured to receive control data from an operating server and selectively control some or all of effect device control units, the effect device control units configured to correspond to one or more effect devices and to independently control corresponding effect devices under the control of the control unit, and the effect devices for implementing special effects, and a system for controlling the motion chairs.

The present invention relates to an effect control system of a screening facility chair and a method thereof, and the effect control system includes an input device for transmitting chair angle control information or effect control information input from a user to a management server; the management server for transmitting the chair angle control information or the effect control information to a corresponding motion chair; and the motion chair for adjusting a slope according to the chair angle control information or providing an effect synchronized with an image according to the effect control information.

The present invention provides a multi-projection system including a plurality of projection surfaces, on which images are projected, which are arranged to surround an auditorium, and the plurality of projection surfaces comprise different types of projection surfaces. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an audience with an image with high three-dimensional effect and immersion and provide images of multiple viewpoints such that the audience can feel as if they are in a space created by the images.

The present invention relates to a motion control system and method using detection of motions in a video, and the motion control system includes: a video processing device for decoding encoded video to extract motion vectors and residual values of effective macroblocks, producing motion codes using the extracted motion vectors and residual values of the effective macroblocks, reproducing the decoded video, and transmitting the produced motion codes and the time codes corresponding to the video being reproduced to a motion control device; and the motion control device for receiving the time codes and motion codes from the video processing device and controlling motions of actuators according to the motion codes if the time values of the time codes and motion codes correspond to each other.

In the present invention, by providing a motion control apparatus comprising an input interface configured to obtain a motion control input, a pattern selector configured to select at least one similar motion pattern corresponding to the motion control input from a plurality of predefined motion patterns, and a motion controller configured to control a seat on which the viewer sits based on the at least one similar motion pattern, the time and cost for providing realistic effect are reduced.

This invention relates to theater seating, and more particularly to simultaneously controlling a plurality of seats in a theater comprising a user interface and transmitter that can be used to control various elements of the seat, and a receiver and motor control unit attached to each theater seat. In some embodiments, a signal transmitter operated by an individual at a theater may simultaneously control the various elements of any group of seats.
