Table 3. MR considerations for theater design
Screen size and shape In stadium theaters, the screen size and shape should be designed to enhance the mixed-reality experience. The screen
should be large enough to provide an immersive experience and should have the appropriate aspect ratio to accommodate
the mixed-reality content.
Projection technology The projection technology used in stadium theaters should be carefully selected to ensure that it is capable of displaying
mixed-reality content. This may require using specialized projectors that are capable of displaying higher resolutions and
frame rates than traditional cinema projectors.
Sound system The sound system in stadium theaters should be designed to provide an immersive audio experience that complements
the mixed-reality content. This may require using advanced audio processing techniques, such as spatial audio, to create a
more realistic and engaging audio experience.
Lighting system The lighting system in stadium theaters should be designed to enhance the mixed-reality experience without distracting
the audience. This may require using lighting techniques that are designed to work with mixed-reality content, such as
dynamic lighting that changes based on the content being displayed.
Acoustics The acoustics of stadium theaters should be carefully designed to provide a clear and immersive audio experience. This
may require using specialized acoustic treatments to minimize echo and improve sound clarity.
Seating The seating in stadium theaters should be designed to provide a comfortable and immersive experience for the audience.
This may require using specialized seating that is designed to work with mixed-reality content, such as seats that can move
or vibrate in response to the content being displayed.
User interface The user interface for stadium theaters should be carefully designed to ensure that it is intuitive and easy to use for the
audience. This may require using specialized interfaces, such as touch screens or gesture-based interfaces that are designed
to work with mixed-reality content.
Connectivity Finally, stadium theaters should be designed to provide high-speed connectivity to ensure that the mixed-reality content
can be streamed seamlessly. This may require using advanced networking technologies, such as fiber optic cables, to ensure
that the content is delivered to the theater in real time.

In summary, for filmmakers to create a successful lighting system should be designed to complement the
mixed-reality experience, they must consider audience mixed-reality content. Acoustics should be optimized,
