Another innovation that the movie industry can do is to improve their seat. In a universal studio there is a new ride called "Transformer". In this ride the screen is in 3D and the seat moves in different direction. What the movie industry can do is to apply the ride like "Transformer" in the cinema. Currently the movie industry applies the 3D version in the movie. They can improve or innovate. Aside from the classic cinemas, we just seat and watch the movie, the movie industry can also have a cinema that has 3D version and the seat moves in any direction. This is like a theme park inside a mall. I suggest there is only a time lapse that the seats will move, not all the time duration of the movie.<with sync feature> 3

In a grocery store here in the Philippines, I notice that when the cashier shift with another cashier, she brings part of the cash register with the money to the office and count it. In other country, like cosmos in Taiwan, there is a cash vacuum in every counter. This way what the cashier does is to put their sales in a container and in the cash vacuum. This vacuum goes directly to the office and the office will count the cash.  Big grocery stores here in the Philippines can also apply this cash vacuum. The advantage of having this cash vacuum are the following: (1) cash will be easily monitor in every cashier, (2) no problem on shifting of cashiers, and (3) people cannot see the sales on every cash register in a grocery store. The disadvantage of this cash vacuum is if the cash container will be stuck inside the vacuum. Before shifting of cashier, she can put her sales in a container and put it in the cash vacuum. The container should be opened by the cashier with a staff in the office so that the check and balance will be applied.      3
