Patent US 3,989,362

This invention is an improved apparatus for recording and displaying a scene. It comprises a camera positioned at a location in a mosaic comprising a stage, to record said scene to be photographed which selectively extends beyond said mosaic. Said scene when projected upon a cyclorama substantially fills the field of vision of an observer, creating the illusion of reality. Said cyclorama is in the form of a generally symmetrical geometric figure. Said camera selectively rotates at a uniform speed in a predetermined pattern, and at least one projector is mounted on the optical axis of said camera for projecting the image recorded on said film back to the portion of said cyclorama corresponding to the respective portion of said scene.
