Abstract: An interactive entertainment apparatus and system and a method of interacting with water to provide audio, visual, olfactory, gustatory and/or tactile effects are provided. In one embodiment, the apparatus and system comprise one or more imagery multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output device(s), one or more sound multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output device(s); one or more camera and/or motion multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications input device(s); one or more nozzle assemblies for spraying and/or emitting liquid and/or vapour and/or gas that can produce lively and entertaining liquid and/or vapour and/or gas screen and/or middle drop(s)/screen(s)and/or other arena-like and/or skyscreen-like arrangement(s) located at or near the centre(s) or focal zone(s) of the theatrical arrangement(s) for the entertainment apparatus and system, on to which liquid and/or vapour and/or gas screen and/or contour arrangement(s) can be projected and/or augmented by harmonized and/or sychronized light and/or laser source for entertaining lighting and/or laser shows; one or more sound generating and/or broadcasting device(s); one or more light and/or laser source(s); one or more tactile stimulus multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output device(s) and/or one or more heating and/or cooling device(s) adapted to provide a tactile sensation of three-dimensional movement(s), motion(s) and/or tilting and/or temperature alteration(s) or variation(s); one or more olfactory stimulus multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output device(s); one or more gustatory stimulus multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output device(s), according to the occurrence of one or more events (random, reconfigurable and/or pre-set) and/or the multilevel channel communications input from one or more user-interface device(s), when activated automatically or on the demand(s), option(s) and/or desire(s) of the user(s); one or more device(s) modulator and/or controller which modulates and/or controls one or more of the above devices and/or one or more parameters of the features of the invention; and one or more interactive microprocessing, computing and/or data-transmission system(s) and/or device(s) to capture, animate, digitize, vary, modify and co-ordinate light emissions, sound or musical note and/or tune broadcasting, tactile stimulus multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output, olfactory stimulus multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output, gustatory stimulus multilevel channel communications input and/or multilevel channel communications output, and/or dancing water trajectories with random, reconfigurable and/or pre-set motions and/or sound multilevel channel communications inputs and/or multilevel channel communications output, produced and/or caused by and/or through interaction of human, animal and/or objects, into control multilevel channel communications inputs, data and/or signals delivered automatically or on the demand(s), option(s) and/or desire(s) of the user(s) to one or more device controllers for controlling the trajectory(ies) of liquid and/or vapour and/or gas emitted from the nozzle assembly(ies), the sound generating and/or broadcasting, the mood, soft or hard lighting changes and/or laser renditions to produce life-like, integrated, artistic and featured entertaining performances automatically or on the demand(s), option(s) and/or desire(s) of the user(s).
