Vitarama was a groundbreaking immersive motion picture exhibition created in 1937 by film special effects pioneer Fred Waller that was demonstrated at the 1939 New York World's Fair. The system involved a film shot with eleven synchronized cameras and displayed with eleven synchronized projectors onto a semi-spherically curved screen. The curved array allowed audiences a 160-degree view that includes peripheral vision, accompanied by multi-channel stereophonic sound and live pyrotechnic flash bulbs, to give viewers a faux three dimensional experience.
