Home theater seating consists of chairs specifically engineered and designed for viewing movies in a personal national theater setting. Most internal theater seats have cup holder built into the chairs' armrests and a shared armrest between each seat. Some seating is movie theater-style chairs like those seen in a movie cinema, which gongs a flip up seat cushion. Other seating systems have plush rind reclining lounger types, with flip-out footrests. Additional accessories like storage compartments, snack trays, tactile transducers (nicknamed "Bass Shakers"), or even electric motors to recline the director are available, depending on the model.
Over the course of three days, retailers, manufacturers, and members of the consumer electronics press were exposed to the first "home like" experience of combining a lanky quality video source with multi-channel surround sound. That one demonstration is credited with Home Theater Chairs being the impetus for developing what is now a multi-billion dollar business.
