We propose a air pressured facial tactile display using vortex air canon applied for VR theater system. First of all, small vortex air canon system has been developed and multiple of those system were unified so as to be attached to a large screen for VR theater system. We also assessed that different strength of air canon generates various tactile expressions by subjective evaluation. And as for an overall system evaluation of the effectiveness of reality or entertainment, we used VR theater system with air pressured facial tactile display for playing horror movie and conducted questionnaire to participants. Result shows positive effect of the air pressure when to correlate to the contents of the movie.
