Multi-projection system and method comprising direction-changeable audience seats

A multi-projection system, comprising:

• a plurality of projection surfaces installed in a single theater;
• an audience seat whose direction is changed depending on images projected on the plurality of projection surfaces;
• and
• a seat control device configured to transmit a control signal to the audience seat to control the audience seat to change the direction depending on images projected on the plurality of projection surfaces,
• wherein the control signal includes time information, which an operation of the audience seat is synchronized to, for controlling the audience seat depending on the images, and operation information on an operation to be performed by the audience seat at a corresponding time,
• wherein the operation information includes speed information,
• wherein the audience seat is configured to change the direction of the audience seat at different speeds corresponding to the speed information, and
• wherein when a specific event occurs only in an image on a specific projection surface among the plurality of projection surfaces, the direction of the audience seat is changed toward the specific projection surface.

A multi-projection method performed by a multi-projection system, the method comprising:

• projecting multiple images on a plurality of projection surface installed in a single theater, respectively, the plurality of projection surfaces including a first projection surface and a second projection surface;
• and
• changing a direction of the plurality of audience seats installed in the single theater depending on the projected images by transmitting a control signal to each of the audience seats,
• wherein the control signal includes time information, which an operation of the audience seat is synchronized to, for controlling the audience seat depending on the images, and operation information on the operation to be performed by the audience seat at a corresponding time,
• wherein the operation information includes speed information,
• wherein the direction of the audience seat is changed at different speeds corresponding to the speed information, and
• wherein, when an object in a first image projected on the first projection surface moves into a second image projected on the second projection surface, the direction of the plurality of audience seats is changed toward the second projection surface.
