They then place their h

25、ands at the base of the screen and move them around to feel the fireworks. Alternatively, their hands can be situated in the center of the screen, where the initial explosions happen, and then moved across to explore other fireworks.As the fireworks begin to explode, one of five nozzles （喷嘴） at the

26、back of the screen starts to spray water, creating “a beautiful fireworks show”. One specializes in the “blooming flower effect”, while another reproduces the “crackle” effect. The rest take care of rockets and explosions. A computer controls the timing, while a camera tracks the persons movement. A
