According to the different screen, IMAX film is divided into rectangles, 3D giant screen and spherical giant screen as a total of three kinds. Then, the charm of IMAX lies where it uses a special 70mm, 15-hole film, 10-times the photosensitive area of an ordinary 35mm, 4-hole film which can accommodate more details. The film image was projected onto the big screen by using projectors. As a result, IMAX can show the maximum area is high 21 meters wide and 34 meters. When seeing IMAX 3D film, you should wear a pair of peculiar “toad glasses”-three-dimensional glasses.

The glasses use the polarized principle, which let audiences do what they can do by their eyes.
