Actually it's three movie cameras mounted as a single unit, with the three lenses aimed so they cover the entire field of human vision. Later the three films will be projected simultaneously on a huge "wrap around" screen, a curved surface three times as wide and half again as high as a conventional screen. As a viewer you'll find yoorself actually in the middle of the lake and far off to the right you'll spot the outboards. They'll angle across the screen toward you, leap the ramps and disappear somewhere so close over your left shoulder you may whirl around to see what's happening. The technique is called Cinerama. It combines a curved screen and stereophonic sound to produce a three-dimension spectacle of amazing reality. You'll find details on page 120. IN THIS ISSUE: Shall We Move to Another Planet?.
