X4D Motion EFX Cinema Seats is a technology developed by the American company MediaMation Inc. that allows a motion-picture presentation to be augmented with environmental effects, such as motion, odors and humidity, outside the standard video and audio. It uses theater seats with tilt forward, backward and to the side in synchronization with onscreen motion, as well as air blasts, tactile effects and other technology. A similar, rival technology is 4DX by the South Korean company CJ 4DPLEX.
The technology was commercially introduced with the release of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, where Mexico's Cinemex opened its first X4D room in Santa Fe, Mexico City.
On 6 May 2014, Cine Colombia opened its first X4D theater, labeled as Dinamix 4D, in Barranquilla, Colombia at the Centro Comercial Buenavista mall, with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
On 26 March 2014, MediaMation has signed an agreement with Santa Rosa Entertainment to bring the first X4D technology in the United States. The technology premiered with the release of Transformers: Age of Extinction at the Plaza Cinema 14 theater in Oxnard, California on 27 June 2014.
