Showscan Film Corporation, 3939 Landmark Street, Culver City, CA  90232-2315,
(213) 558-0150 owns the patent on 60 frame per second cinematography.  They
market 70mm theaters with computer controled, hydraulically actuated seating,
as well as Imax theaters.  The realism is awesome!  I recently had the
opportunity to experience a demonstration film of a sports car racing down
hill in the rural European mountains.  I nearly wet the seat.
