The fetishizing of the movie theater makes us neglect other image consumption systems. This digital book follows the thread of the up-close and individual viewing systems, which are closely tied up with film history but which have been neglected by historiography. Here we will examine a few nubs and exemplary moments in which, with the growth of electronics and computerization, the individual viewing system was reactivated, but in a yet more immersive and henceforth interactive form, with new extensions whose nature is both multi-sensory (visual, acoustic, haptic, olfactory, gustatory) and motive (bringing into play the head, hands and the entire body).
