Abstract
The aim of this paper is to establish a relation between the bodily posture of the viewer, the size and shape of the picture, and the architectural form of the theater in all its details. The present type of theater floor is compared with the reversed type described in a previous paper in order to show how the latter type of floor permits placing a greater number of seats within the desirable seating areas than the present type. An analysis is made also of the effect of reversing the floor on the ability of the viewer to assume a comfortable bodily posture. Definite angles of sight specified by the various tilts of chair backs found necessary for comfortable posture are shown. Several forms of theaters of various seating capacities and screen sizes are described in order to show the broad application of the theories involved in reversing the pitch of the orchestra floor.
