Smelly Movies

Soon you may be able to smell your favorite movie. Israeli scientists have created "Cinematrix," a movie theater that allows viewers to feel and smell the action on screen.

A 48-seat prototype theater has been built at the National Science Museum in Haifa, where audiences can fully engage in movies with all their senses. Along with 3D glasses movie-goers are able to feel sensations such as wind and water while different scents are pumped into the theater in sequence with the film.

Currently the museum only has a limited number of films using that technology, but scientists say, it is the first step towards more mainstream movie experiences.
