As CEO of AMC, my initial goal would be to create a product that can’t be replicated with in-home technologies. I believe we hit the nail on the head by adapting our theaters with “4-D” technology. This means submersing the viewers with a 3-DS picture, and adding physical features including scents, rain, wind, etc. Although it exists in a few standalone theaters, no chain has migrated towards this and would provide us a massive competitive edge. AMC would become the place consumers experience a movie, instead of merely watching. The second product would be a totally new ballpark, and that is video-game tournaments. Currently, they are typically held in school cafeterias or cramped back-rooms, but by simply hooking up a console to our projector,

Perhaps the most innovative technology has come in the world of auto racing, specifically NASCAR. Sportvision has created many new technological advances that make watching NASCAR more enjoyable and fan friendly. “RACEf/x is a car-tracking system that collects car performance data from every Winston Cup car five times per second, providing speed, position, time behind leader, brake indicator and throttle percentage information to NASCAR fans” (Pierce).

In the article “Reinvent the Movie Theater: Wifi, Outlets, Lowlights, Second Screen Experience” by Hunter Walk, the author reveals the cinema's inability to adapt to a modern concept. By integrating advanced technology into theater experiences, Hunter Walk believes it would further elevate the ambiance; consequently, attracting a broader audience. This belief is built upon the fundamental principle of wants and needs. Walk conveys the idea of segregating similarly minded viewers into “environments which meet our needs” ultimately, optimizing pleasure.
