Shaving seat

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rasiersitz or Rasierloge is a colloquial term used to describe the seats of the first row in a cinema or theater . From this position the picture appears flat and the film scenes are perceived as distorted. Moving the head is often necessary to capture the entire image area. Since you have to tilt your head back in the first row to be able to see everything, the comparison was made with the sitting position at the barber's .
