It's worth noting IMAX does in fact have a trademark in the relevant fields -

": Consumer electronic products, namely, headphones, earphones, cables, camcorders, DVD players and stereos; home theater systems comprised of a projector system, a surround sound system, a screen, media servers and control devices; and gaming equipment, namely, video game machines for use with televisions and computers; video game controllers; computer software for playing video games and for accessing and browsing global computer and communications networks; video game programs downloadable from global computer networks and global communications networks; and user manuals for all of the aforementioned software and devices sold as a unit therewith; devices used to facilitate interactive game play over computer networks; television and video converters; speakers, loudspeakers systems"

A little more research turned up this article that mentions IMAX partnering with Samsung's VR product.

http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/samsung-unveils-virtual...

Samsung's VR will offer "a selection of IMAX films in a virtual theater".

Samsung's VR is based on Oculus tech, and actually will be an IMAX theater in your house.

Heh.


This comment confuses me. Is it text on a web page or did i just actually watch an IMAX movie? I hope they don't send you a letter too!
