The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has an Omnimax Theater which has seating like this. The screen is also domed to give you that surround vision feel and it plays imax films. also the screen is "porous" or like a matrix of holes and the sound system is behind it and plays like a THX system, matching the location of the sound with the location of the source on the screen.
Vertigo, yes. Back in '87 when I was in the 4th grade we went there for a field trip to watch a double feature on the "Grand Canyon" and "Urban Canyons" in between the 2 they played a weird little 1 minute time warp video of colored shapes flying towards you. The effect made you feel like you were sliding out of the top of the seat and several of us became ill. Also the camera work in the films involved a lot of cameras mounted on flying vehicles of some sort and every time they flew over an edge you "felt" the weightlessness of free falling.
